Hello --
Not quite sure if this is not supposed to be working, or if I am getting things wrong.
Most of my media consumption is on a kodi client with jellyfin add-on - works reliably in general. The user logged into that one has access to all media that is 'family friendly'.
Sometimes, parents want to watch adult contents in the evening, so I am trying to figure out how easiest to do that. I was thinking it would be reasonably easy to cast into kodi from the jellyfin app on our phones. This works very reliably - however not if it's adult content that the kodi user does not have access to. As soon as the video I want to cast is either in a library that the kodi client does not have access to - or it's tagged with a tag that is blocked to the kodi user - it refuses to cast. Clearly, this is the client deciding it does not want to show this file.
I think I had a similar setup going - but years ago, that might actually have been still with emby.
Since I'd like to use this - or a similar low effort way - to access adult content not usually visible, is there a way to enable this? Some setting I've overlooked? Or is this just the way things work and I have to cope?
I understand that I could create a separate kodi profile, re-install the jellyfin addon to that, then configure it with a different user, and make everything PINned to switch between profiles... but that seems considerable effort compared to just being able to cast.
