Change user in PKC

[Kybeer]

Hello,
Is there any smart way to switch Plex user in PKC? I'm talking about the "local" Plex profiles, not the main online Plex-accrount (that controls your license etc)

I have three users in my home, and the only way I have found to switch user is to reboot the device (a Raspberry Pi) where Kodi+PKC is running.

There's the PKC setting logging you out: navigate to Add-ons -> Video Add-ons -> PlexKodiConnect -> "Log out user XYZ". Maybe you can bind that to a key or something?

[Kybeer]

Yes, but as soon as I try to bind that to a menu item, it actually just logs me off (takes me to the initial login screen) - instead of letting me configure it.

If there's anyway to prevent that behavior, it would be the perfect solution.

[croneter]

No, that's by design. It will log you off and you will need to manually select the new Plex user. There's no way to directly switch to an explicit other Plex user

Thanks for the clarification @croneter . Binding it to a key is perhaps not so easy then.

Fairly simple: You can create a menu/favourite/shortcut and switch user with ease, use this custom string/command:
ActivateWindow(10025,"plugin://plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/?mode=switchuser",return)

Example (edit in userdata/favourites.xml)

<favourites>
    <favourite name="Log-out Plex user" thumb="special://home/addons/plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/icon.png">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;plugin://plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/?mode=switchuser&quot;,return)</favourite>
</favourites>

I have it working on all my devices like that now (Kodi 19.3 + PKC 3.6.14)
