Last updated 7 months ago

Emby has a licensing model that limits the number of devices a user can log in to, whether or not those devices are actively in use (25 for a free server and up to 75 with a Premiere subscription). To prevent users from logging into too many devices and consuming all available licenses on your Emby server, Streams Manager allows you to limit the number of devices each user can access.

The Devices screen displays Emby devices, along with the media server each device is tied to, and the user who last used it.

Streams Manager enables you to specify the maximum number of Emby devices a user can log in to per plan. Leaving the value empty will disable device limits.

By default, Streams Manager will enforce the number of devices users are allowed to use every 5 minutes. As long as a users has used/logged in on less devices than their plan allows, Streams Manager will enable Allow All Devices Emby setting for that user so they can login on additional devices.

Once a user reaches the number of allowed devices specified on their plan, Allow All Devices setting will be disabled in Emby and user will be able to use only existing devices. This will prevent users from logging in on any new device.

If a user exceeds the number of allowed devices, Streams Manager will delete their oldest devices to bring the number of devices in compliance and disable Allow All Devices Emby setting. Once a user again drops below the device limit, Allow All Devices setting will be enabled again.

These checks and updates are made every 5 minutes.
