    I posted a suggestion in the Jellyfin suggestions form and saw there was a notification of complete with a one line answer statig this was already possible. Can someone explain how this works?

    Description
    Allow the admin or, with permissions, certain users to start/control playback for another user logged into a different device.

    My example is trying to put content on for my agin mother who is losing the ability to operate remotes and understand "buttons". I have to manually begin content on her TV cable box app directly from her room on her TV. If I can use my admin/account and begin playback for her account remotely that would make it possible to give her something to watch while I'm not physically with her. Would work well for kids or video displays or any host of pissibilities.

    This functionality already exists as the “remote control” feature in the cast menu.
