i just had my first near heart attack of the year (lasting over an hour long.)
so i wake up this morning to import new files, well last night i was playing with JRiver's user account. Well i had forgotten to click back to administrator. When I was tagging i noticed files were not in my library (client), I logged into Server, and looked at JRiver Server (where all household files are stored...File smissing up the waaaazoo, i did an auto import/files still missing) I searched my drives, everything looked fine, but in my library it was stating i had only 22,349 files, when i should have 755,520 total files.
I then remembered that on the server i had added a user account for testing by going to view/user, and sure enough i was logged in as blahblah. not administrator.
possible suggestions for the future for us noobs/forgetful folk.
1. maybe move user selection to file\library? this is where we switch libraries, shouldnt user be there as well?
2. maybe display somewhere which user is logged in on all JRiver interfaces? (Standard view/Theaterview) perhaps next to where it states which library is loaded?
and a question/major concern
1. if server has a user loaded, why do all clients switch to that user? shouldn't clients either after an amount of inactivity auto log off, OR at the very least stay connected to the Library/user it originally connected with...how i knew something was wrong with my library was actually on a client, (on that client most of my files were gone). REASON BEING... as mentioned i had changed server to blah blah with just 22,349 files... My MAJOR concern what if some of us have adult files in the main library (administrator) and we want to watch/view all our files as adults. the way it sits now... we have to walk to server, change user to administrator (or adult users) and then all clients will have that library/user loaded, meaning when the kids go to their devices being it auto loads new users, the kids are seeing are filthy stinking pron (files inappropriate for children (R, NC-17 etc)!
I'm glad i found this out on a day/week my son is at his mothers. As it sits now it seems as if this isnt fully implemented...I'm now removing users completely until verification this has been worked out/changed...
Perhaps others should be made aware of this (maybe an edit on post 1) as to prevent some potentially big mistakes/fights (wife" why are these files available for bobby, i came home from work, and he was watching Basic Instinct's Sharon Stone interrogation scene on repeat!?"
