I have a number of “Friends” (Users) who access my Plex Server and I’m trying to keep track of what they have watched and when. I can find that information in the Status: Alerts page, but it is difficult to find just this information when there are so many “Alerts” related to scanning and processing of video files and updating libraries. I currently have 31 pages of Alerts and I was able to see that my nephew watched a show last night, but that alert was on page 28, which means that I had to search through 27 pages of Alerts for scanning and processing of video files before I could find the information I was looking for (I have the server set to “Update My Library Periodically”). Plus, it only lets me see information for about the past 24 hours. Is there a way to just see who has watched what and when? I don’t really need all the details related to scanning and processing, so that is really just “noise” to me. I apologize if someone has already requested this. I searched but did not find anything similar. Thanks.
You want PlexPy

Wow, thank you. PlexPy does exactly what I was looking for and a lot more. Problem solved. Thanks again!!!
This really needs to be integrated into the Web App and not a 3rd party app. I know @drzoidberg33 and @JonnyWong16 have done a lot of work on the app, and @ljunkie on PlexWatch, but the fact that these apps were made shows a big hole in Plex’s reporting and historical information collection.
I hope we can get this integrated before the end of 2016.
Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (server dashboard, playback history)
