A feature to enable limits on the number of plays per user or max time per day per user. I think this would be a great feature. Also, cut down if someone keeps a movie paused for hours. Maybe create a temporary revoke without having to reinvite the user. If anyone has any thoughts or know of a cur…

We all have that friend that thinks you are (Plex)flix, but they are still a good friend. You want to give them access but subtle hints at being gentle on the server really don’t work. “The server did it” is a lot less confrontational way of handling it. “I’m sorry man, the server set a watch time …

This would be great! I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t have a lot more votes.

Until such time Plex even considers adding the feature, I’d recommend researching Tautulli monitoring combined with BlackTwin’s JBOPS , an excellent set of custom scripts, most intended for Tautulli, that can limit various aspects. I use a custom script to kill any 3rd stream opened by the same use…

I would really like this feature, as well. As a parent, it’s challenging to moderate a child’s use of technology. Obviously, I don’t want to ban some particular piece of tech entirely, but sometimes children need to know hard limits exist to encourage them to go do more productive things (like chore…

Got my vote as this is still not part of plex. I think server admins should get more control over the clients. Currently the clients are much too powerful. We need to rebalance the power!

Just added my vote. A feature like this would be fantastic. I access Plex via Home Users on two Xbox Consoles. I have a Home User set up for my children and one for my wife & I. My 4 year old son has thus far managed to memorise all the pin codes I have tried on their Home User login. I’m up to I th…

Alex, I couldn’t agree more that this could use some ‘Dev Love’. This would also help limit how many episodes people can auto-play in a row. I’ve seen logs in the morning with 12 episodes in a row played and then the person goes back 9 episodes and starts watching again the next day because they ra…

Agreed, this is a much needed feature and would be SO helpful.

Anything and everything to help server maintainers in locations with mediocre internet.

It doesn’t care where, but it could adjust for that too if ever wanted.
