My main issue with Google TV as a whole is the inability to link Google profiles to app profiles like Plex in order to see content from their own profiles.
Continue watching is just filled with the profile that was last active in each app.
If you could crack launcher profile links to app profiles you'll have done google's job for them.

This is a feature I've been hoping for a long time. Multiple profiles in a launcher is genius.

Are features still being worked on? I love the launcher but having a family of 6, each with different content, it's a must to easily be able to change between users. I'm using the stock launcher right now but this is the only thing holding me back.

Definitely need to be able to EXCLUDE content from selected profiles. It seems every time I use a different profile in Plex, all of the content from that profile shows up in continue watching. The only way to "fix" it, is to wipe it out and start over (delete data/cache from app) and ONLY use the profile in Plex that you want to use with Continue Watching. This feels like a bug, but profile selection and switching should resolve it, so rather than ask the developer to spend cycles looking into a "potential" defect, I'd rather see this new feature be implemented.
BTW, thanks for the awesome software.

I’m a software engineer who’s had dispatch for over a year. I’d be willing to donate hours to help get this once across the finish line. I have small children and the default profile being theirs, and mine and my wife’s being protected with a pin (plex’s or stand alone pin) would be perfect)

Any news on this? If this would come out as a Beta or something I would really like to try it. I have wanted something like this for decades.

Will this include auto logins to plex profiles? Currently, I have to use my PIN to login to my plex profile every time I select a show from the launcher

Stephen Finch you can turn on automatic login in via settings in Plex. This wi bypass the need for your pin.
