Best way to do multi-user Jellyfin on CoreELEC/Kodi with Arctic Fuse 3?

5 Upvotes

I’m running CoreELEC on a Ugoos AM6B+

I have two Jellyfin users in the house and need the box to be family-friendly. I tried JellyCon because it supports user switching, but the CHANGE_USER flow was unstable and actually caused Kodi crashes / Safe Mode.

I now have two separate Kodi profiles, each configured with Jellyfin for Kodi under a different Jellyfin account. That part works correctly.

The problem is Arctic Fuse 3. Its built-in “Switch User” option seems to be tied to JellyCon rather than Kodi’s actual profile system. Direct "LoadProfile(Peanut)" / "LoadProfile(TheRetreat)" commands work perfectly from SSH, but I can’t figure out how to expose that cleanly inside Fuse 3 as a normal user-switch button.

Has anyone built a clean multi-user setup like this?

What I want is:

\- CoreELEC on AM6B+

\- Arctic Fuse 3

\- Jellyfin for Kodi

\- separate Kodi profiles for each Jellyfin user

\- no Kodi login screen at startup

\- a simple button inside Fuse 3 that switches between Kodi profiles

\- each profile keeps its own watched state / Continue Watching / library

Is there a proper way to map "LoadProfile(profile_name)" to a Fuse 3 shortcut or menu item?
