Settings and accounts
The whole family on one box, each with their own account, languages and progress.
Servers and accounts
Server
Add a server by its address, test that it answers, keep several of them.
Accounts
Several accounts kept on the box. Automatic sign-in to the last account, sorting by use or by name, forgetting an account.
Account
The signed-in account, its age limit, its PIN code. Change profile or sign out.
Quick Connect both ways
Sign in the box
At sign-in, the TV shows a code. Approve it in Jellyfin on a device that is already signed in.
Sign in another device
In Settings, Account, type the code shown by the other device, then choose Authorize.
A PIN code per profile
A PIN code protects a profile on the box. Frinkfin keeps only its hash. After five wrong codes, the profile must sign in again. Account limits (ratings, access hours) stay those of your server.
