Android TV Questions - Darkhost1999 - 2024-06-24

I have several questions and feature requests related to my Jellyfin setup:

1. Content hiding: I'd like to hide shows from Continue Watching while keeping them in Next Up. Currently, shows appear in both sections. Can I customize content visibility per section?

2. Android TV login: Can the default login behavior be changed to request a password or PIN instead of a quick connect code? I prefer not to be prompted to log in from my phone when watching on my TV.

3. PIN login: Is it possible to use a numeric PIN to log in with a UI-integrated numeric keyboard like Netflix and Disney+ instead of the full-size OS on-screen keyboard?

4. Media (small) option: Is this feature not implemented on Android TV, as it appears in the client dropdown menu without any noticeable effect?

5. Content management: Can I automatically remove content from Watched status after a set period, such as 90 days?

Thank you for your feedback, discussion, and guidance on these topics. I appreciate responses in complete sentences.

Some of my profiles are setup without passwords, but I'm still being prompted to enter a password when switching between them. Is there a setting or option that allows me to skip the password prompt for profiles that don't have passwords?

I'm not aware of such an option but I'm not that familiar with all of them either.

You could use a dedicated user that logs in automatically for this particular TV. It's not 100% ideal either but in my opinion ways more convenient.

There's a set time period for this because mine definitely keeps disappearing after some time but I wouldn't know how long that is.
