[feature] account switching #133

Closed Eothred closed 1 year ago

Eothred commented 1 year ago

First a big thanks for bringing this app to WebOS5, it works very smoothly so far in testing. I'm both grateful and impressed!

A thought I had was that account switching could be useful, but I am not sure how possible it is? For streaming services you can typically select sub-accounts once logged in. For Jellyfin I suppose users might even be interested in having login details stored for accounts on different servers (maybe I have an account on a friends server as well), as well as the option of having login details on several accounts on the same server (for syncing series etc).

I guess the app in some form would need to "cache" the login to several accounts.

(Optional) PIN code to enter the different accounts may be an addition of use.

I do agree this would be a useful feature, guess it is not specific for the WebOS client though. This should likely be implemented in the jellyfin-web web client. The WebOS app is a thin wrapper for the web client to run this client on WebOS. Looks like there was a similar feature request, https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/1009 which was closed with the comment that feature requests should be directed to https://features.jellyfin.org/ so I would think the same applies for this issue.

Thank you both for the feedback and links to this request in the right places. Sorry I am quite ignorant when it comes to how this is structured. I fully agree we can close this and move any discussion to the appropriate request that @BrandonG777 pointed to.
