One of many reasons to use Jellyfin instead of Plex.
Is there a media server that allows accounts to have groups of profiles?
Even emby, or jellyfin don't support this. Really wish they did. Then I can give each household a single account for their device and have a netflix like experience
edit: what I'm looking for is user groups, or nested users. So AccountA contains UserA1, UserA2 etc and AccountB contains UserB1, UserB2, and so on
Jellyfin allows you to hide any profile from the login screen. If you hide them all, every user would have to manually login (username+password). That's not quite the Netflix-like experience where you click your profile, but it would at least hide all the users from other households (but also your own).
Yeah I understand that, I've done a lot of research into it and not got any solution
Most people aren't willing to type out a username and password just to use their profile. I want the login to be one time, and just their profiles to show up. And every household has their own set of profiles
Right now, I just have added one person from each household and they all share that same profile. I've added them to my Plex home so they get skip intro and whatever other Plex pass benefit. The issue with this, is that everyone shares a single profile per household (apart from my family) and we're all lumped together in one screen
