Overview

MediaPortal 2 has a basic user management service for storing settings and user specific metadata about media items.

Current State

Details

MP2-Server provides a service that stores user specific information, either "globally" (per user) or per MediaItem. It's accessible via the IUserManagementService (http://src-doc.team-mediaportal.com/...anagement.html) that uses the UPnPUserProfileDataManagementServiceProxy  (http://src-doc.team-mediaportal.com/...ice_proxy.html) for server communication.

What is an "user" ?

While the UserProfileDataManagementService provides methods to create users and store arbitary informations for them, at the moment there is only a "pseudo user" per client system.

This means the resume information is currently stored per client.

What needs to be done?

To share the same user on different systems, a kind of user management needs to be implemented:

• Creating users
• Setting user properties (needs to be defined), can be used for password store
• Creating a login model to set the current user
