Is there a way to activate, use or add a lock feature to the player for mobile/tablet devices? My kids use plex but anytime they touch the screen it messes things up. Netflix has a feature where you lock the playback and then they can’t mess with the volume, seek, pause or play. That lets them have continued uninterrupted streaming. Does this exist with plex at all?
