Multiple Account sign in for Roku and other devices

[Kaliaila]

With the unfortunate demise of Ultraviolet due to the money grab that is Movies Anywhere making it impossible to share libraries anymore. It would be nice if there was a way for people to at least be able to log into more than one account on the same device and just toggle back and forth to watch the content. When you have family members with separate accounts or worse yet roommate all using the same device it is frustrating as ?. when you have to log out of one account and onto another one to watch your shows.

Vudu needs to do something like this, or just introduce their own family sharing mechanism. Google and Apple do it, don't see why Vudu cannot.

Not ideal for you most likely but I merged all the UV accounts into one account and then just used that one main account across boxes.

In your circumstance it's probably just easier to just use the cheap streaming sticks and switch between them with the different account on each box.In the scope of things the sticks are pretty dirt cheap and you don't have to share payment info, everyone can still keep their own account, and you don't have to deal with the fact that Vudu is not going to store multiple accounts with passwords and easy logon; most streaming services don't do this anyway.

Super easy to share a MA library on a Roku.

Do tell.

Do tell.

1) Have friend/family member install MA app on Roku.
2) Have friend

/family member

give you the activation code.
3) Enter activation code on your account.
4) Friend

/family member

now has access to your MA library via the app.

Bonus points: MA supports multiple profiles so you can create profiles for your friend

/family member so their watch queue doesn't mess with yours.

MA supports multiple profiles and multiple playback streams. This isn't a workaround. This is a supported feature.

I agree with this. Profiles on the account for family members in the house using registered devices would be great, like Netflix, MA and Hulu. Better yet, Profiles with an option to filter by adult or kids. There are 2 adults, 1 teen and an 8 year old in the house. Do not want the 8 year old to be able to see the entire title list or be able to watch everything in the library.
