[Feature Request] Jellyfin style admin management with per session client limit message/rules.

[lozengelover]

Apollo/sunshine/vibepollo are great for private, personal use.

But i have a gaming pc i rarely make use of and think it would be a great idea to use it as a host server similar to how a jellyfin server functions so any friends/family can play a AAA game from it whenever they want via moonlight right on their TVs/tablets/whatever via the internet.

The idea would mostly hinge upon quite a small change in apollo to function like this. An admin client/account with full permission to override/disable any connected stream session either via the dashboard or by connecting themselves (vibepollo might already implement this with the trusted client) . Then a 1 (or customizable if server is using duostream) user limit per session for non-admin clients so multiple people aren't able to try and connect to the virtual display at once. Then an error message that pops up in moonlight when the 2nd person attempts to connect to an already in-use session, telling them the server is in use by another user. Apollo as i understand it doesn't really have any hierarchy or rules regarding connections currently and whoever connects next kicks off whoever was streaming previously. Even just the change in rule to connections and error message would make the program more viable for hosting multiple people using the server.

There are more, larger scope ideas that could feed from this that aren't part of this request but cool expansions of the functionality. like a move away from the client/pin system to optional user accounts/passwords (security risk i know), a full jellyfin style dashboard showing which users are streaming and what bitrate/client they are running, customization/integration with something like duostream to allow multiple games to be streamed at once with per-game permissions so heavy hardware intensive games cant be streamed simultaneously.

I believe this falls outside the current scope of Vibepollo. However, I’ve previously implemented a similar workflow using Aster PRO, which supports multiple concurrent Windows sessions (licensed per user). For remote connectivity, Parsec is a great addition as it bypasses the need for manual port forwarding. Is this something you've considered?

Thank you. Using a combo of Aster + parsec or Aster + Apollo does seem like a needlessly complicated workaround imo to something that could be integrated as an option in Vibeapollo relatively easy in terms of the basic functionality (optional one client limit stopping non-trusted clients overriding ones already streaming + error message).

That is the scope of the request everything else i mention is just springboard ideas.
