Hi all,

I would like to set my MediaBrowser to Limited access, but I only see internal IP's of my devices and none of them seam to belong to the MediaBrowser.
Is it just not possible to to restict it, or how can I do that?

Thanks!

Not possible at the moment.

I wonder if you could control access using a .htaccess file. I will try it on mine. It is an apache control file.

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess5.shtml

Is there a pesky person perpetrating pain upon you? Stalking your site from the vastness of the electron void? Blockem! In your htaccess file, add the following code--changing the IPs to suit your needs--each command on one line each:

order allow,deny deny from 123.45.6.7 deny from 012.34.5. allow from all

You can deny access based upon IP address or an IP block. The above blocks access to the site from 123.45.6.7, and from any sub domain under the IP block 012.34.5. (012.34.5.1, 012.34.5.2, 012.34.5.3, etc.) I have yet to find a useful application of this, maybe if there is a site scraping your content you can block them, who knows.

He meant Serviio's access groups feature, which as zip said isn't supported via the CDS API (MediaBrowser, ServiiGo) at the moment.

Yes, but there might be other ways to do it.

For the .htaccess file to work you'd have to access MB via the Apache proxy, not directly.

Any news about this request ? I got some issue with this, can't limit access to some kind of content over media browser.
