Hi, I wan't to ask for a guest function. I can connect to DMS per DNS address and so I can use the live TV function on my phone and tablet.

Now I gave the address to my parents that they're able to watch local live TV in another country.

But for this a guest function is useful.
A guest function should block recordings and timer functions. So only live TV is available for the guest.

The DMS is also supporting a guest login.

can't you just use the guest login?

Sure, but the guest is seeing my recordings timer and so on. A guest should be only be able to watch live TV.

If the guest has permissions to see your timers the PVR will also list them. I haven't checked what guest permission in DMS context actually means but the PVR won't hide any information the account has privileges for.

Fixed with 3.4.6. Timers are hidden (although DMS API allows to list them). Recordings can only be played.

Sorry for the late reply!
How I can define the guest account?
Can't be the guest login identified by the addon?
I tried it and have seen all timers of the DMS.

The permissions are fetched during initial connect. You should also see a onetime notification about running with guest permissions only.

Not working on Android Redmi phone, Leia RC.
I don't understand how guest account gets detected. Just a Test If you are root user!?:

XMLUtils::GetString(root, "rights", rights);

I get the same timers and recordings if logged in as normal or guest user. I talk about the username & password for the dvbviewer connection.

checks /status/rights from http://.../api/status2.html

Ok, I think the problem is the web browser. I logged in as admin in chrome. If I use than the guest account in kodi I see everything.
Than I logged in as guest in chrome and the timers where gone in kodi. The recordings are still shown - even after a pvr data reset in kodi.

The status2.html shows me "full" for admin and "read" for the guest account.

Guests do have the ability to see and play records. Recording deletion + timers in general are prohibited.
