Allow brief exit without requiring to login again - adi.shoukat - 2024-07-21
While using an external video player, there is this annoying issue. Every time I play a movie and decide to go back to JellyFin to play some other movie, it asks me to login again.
It doesn't even allow to leave the JellyFin app for a few seconds.
Is there a way to allow brief exits? For example: if I have authenticated the user, it should not ask for login again for next 10 minutes or so. If during that 10 minutes I go back to the Jellyfin app, that timer would reset again. This will make jumping from apps to apps very convenient. Right now I have to authenticate so many times while watching a movie.
Update:
I am using JellyFin client for Android TV
These are the plugins I am using: https://i.imgur.com/6X4aEWu.png

What client are you using?

And what OS is the client running? And do you have any additional plugins besides the few that jellyfin comes with?

I have updated the original post. Please check.

In the Jellyfin app home screen, click on the gear in the top right, then Login, then Automatic Sign-in. Is that disabled?
