        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

          I’m not really sure what you mean by “groups” of profiles, but you can definitely set up multiple different users on Jellyfin

            I wonder if what they’re asking for is some sort of RBAC? All members of house A can all access content A and cannot access content B. But each individual retains distinct viewing history.

            I want them to have one account to log in with, and there are 4 profiles within that account. No need for every person on the server to have their profile on one huge page like plex

          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

          I would pay for someone to have a server that tracked who watched something. Not just assume the “account owner” watched it but the other people sitting next to them too.

          Apparently the creators of these apps are all loners.

        Given that I have a lifetime Plex pass, what are the advantages that jellyfin would give me?

        I got the Plex pass years ago when they were on sale, and it’s nice that Plex has apps for mobile devices and smart TVs.

          Well certainly no ads on the homepage like the comment I was directly replying to.
