jluce50 118 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Okay, this is a tricky issue to describe, so bear with me. This seems to have started after I selected "Remember Me" on the login screen. What happens is the login screen loads and then a few seconds later it reloads again (there is a brief transition effect where the user icons "slide" in when the screen is loaded). It happens every time now whether or not I select "Remember Me". If I click on a user the username/password inputs come up and then the screen reloads and I have to click the user again. On a related note, "Remember Me" doesn't work. I get presented with the login screen every time, no matter what. Has anyone else experienced either issue? Any recommendations? Edit: Forgot to add, I'm on v. 3.0.5361.21758. Log attached. theater-63546662708.txt Edited September 22, 2014 by jluce50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naudski 0 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I have exactly the same issue. Regards, Naudski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 IMO "Remember me" should not exist in a true HTPC client. It makes sense in a mobile environment where the device is almost certainly used by one person. But, in a living room app, where the device is almost certainly shared, the "Remember Me" workflow does not make sense as it leaves the last person who logged on as on every time. This won't work for anyone with any need for parental control. That is a bit of a tangent, but maybe the logic is in the process of being re-written and this is why it isn't working quite right.

I have two user accounts on my HTPC, one for me and one for everyone else. When I use MBT under my account I'd like it to stay logged in as my MB user. Under the other account I want the login screen every time.

If so, then you have two different installs of MBT and they can both have different settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was that "Remember Me" was broken under my Windows account (didn't test with the other account as I don't want that functionality there).
