It is perplexing to me why "new devices" are given full access instead of some kind of default access. Guests are given the highest level of access, above other known and established users! It makes no sense, and goes directly against all security best practices. The only two options right now for new devices are either 1) full access to everything or 2) no access to anything.
I guess for now, I'll have to turn off allowing new devices access to Serviio, and enable them manually as needed. Otherwise, a reboot of the router might cause IP address reassignments and then suddenly an old device might be elevated to become a "new device" and have access to all sorts of things it shouldn't.
It is even more disheartening to hear that previous versions allowed defaults to be set correctly. It's a hassle if you have guests or friends over and want to show off your media (but not your private stuff). It kinda defeats the purpose of plug-n-play that DLNA is supposed to provide. And, it's even worse if you have a lot of devices.
