How to cast to other users and keep play history? - Ned - 2025-09-11
How can two users cast to a single client (shared media centre ir TV for example) without messing up their play history?
What I want to do is this:
Have my Jellyfin user. It records all my plays, resume points, etc.
Have my partner's jellyfin user. It records all their plays, resume points, etc.
Have the ability for either of us to "cast" to a TV/computer/other player, and it only records our plays against our users.
I have tested this with Jellyfin clients and if I cast to my user, obviously it records that play against my user, but if I cast to my partner's user, it records the play against their user, messing up their play history with what I'm playing.
How can I set it up so that we can both cast to something and play history is only recorded against our own users?
