Multiple instances of Playnite Web in a single household #572

Open andrew-codes opened 2 weeks ago

Playnite Web supports a single user's library. However, some households may have >1 users. In this case, multiple Playnite Web instances may be running and listening on the same MQTT message bus. A command from Playnite Web for user A should not be picked up by user B's instance.

Note that scoping action commands such as start, stop, restart, received by the extension can be easily done by simply ensuring the release/platform IDs are all in the Playnite instance's library.
