Expose function for choosing / changing plex user to the skin

Hi,

would it be possible to expose the function in which one can choose the Plex Home User to the Skins, so the skins can have a "logoff" Menu entry.

On top it would be great if MrMC asks for the Plex Home User while starting and while gaining back focus if one has switched with the home button to the Launcher.

Is this something which is considered at all. Initially I wanted to have the different Plex Home Users in different MrMC profiles, but since I realized how awsomely fast the Plex Home User switch is happening, that above functionality would be more then enough to make it (at least for me) the perfect Plex Client / Media Player at all.

Regards
Vlaves

hey,

ok, so let me get this straight... you want to be able to change Plex user easily... correct?

We are not happy to just expose plex user switch, as that kind of butchers the skin(s) and makes it look out of place ... We would be happy to link plex users to profiles. would that be ok?

so you create new profile and link different plex user to different MrMC profile... yes/no?

Ćao željko,

to make it short "yes" exactly what I want :)

that was what I initially wanted, see viewtopic.php?f=19&t=763, but got the answer that profile-code is messed up, so complicated to implement.

I would b more then happy to have that linked together, can't wait that to be implemented :)

Hej Vlado,

ok, I'll work on linking plex users to MrMC profiles, that is the right way to do it... anything else would be a hack.... and we don't do hacks... today :)
