I've read the documentation

Your Feature Request

In short, I would like to be able to connect Jellyfin to more then one Tube Archivist instance.

Longer: I know adding multi user support is a very big task that is still a bit away. The main reason I am even diving into this is so that I can have a curated set of channels and videos for my 8 year old. I would like to migrate my videos as well. I don't want him to have access or be cluttered with my videos. So I was going to have 2 Tube Archivist instances so that they would be separate libraries.

If there is a better way to solve my problem I am open to it.

Your help is needed!

  • Yes I will work on this in the next few days or weeks.

I don't think I will work on that feature in the near future, but if you want to work on this just do it, contribution are always appreciated 😄

I have the same usecase - one jellyfin library for kids, and another for everyone else. im running two tubearchivist instances, due to limitation there, so i have two api keys.
