DLNA not possible for users - stephan1974 - 2024-10-30
I switched to Jellyfin a few weeks ago and have built up my database in the meantime. Playback via DLNA on the TVs in the network has also worked perfectly so far.
Now I wanted to give the other users in my network the opportunity to watch their films and series. I realised that the other user accounts are not able to select a TV via the DLNA icon (via the Android app). Only the loading circle appears and no selection menu. The function is only available if I grant the corresponding user account the rights to manage the server. This of course harbours some dangers and cannot be what the inventor intended.
However, I cannot say whether this behaviour only occurs with version 10.10.0, as I have not yet tested this with the older version. With the update to version 10.10.0, I also updated the DLNA plugin to version 4. There are not many setting options within the plugin. The ‘Enable Play To’ option is active.
Have I overlooked something here?

Are the TVs connected to Chromecasts? Or are you actually use DLNA for the TVs?

I don't use any additional devices like Chromecast with my TV (Samsung). So it should work directly via DLNA. The TV name also appears directly in the selection.

That sounds like my problem. However, I did not find a solution in the second link. What exactly should I do here?

Wait until 10.10.1 is released, unfortunately. Or build from source.
