Could plex implement some kind of editor for the Play History database? For example, I have friends who I no longer share any libraries with, but of course their play history still shows when I navigate through my Dashboard to Play History. I would like to be able to delete complete records of users like this please. ---

There is a third-party utility that has this capability: > **[Tautulli](https://tautulli.com/)** > > A Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server ---

Isn’t the history in Tautulli a separate database from plex? I agree, there should be more tools for editing metadata. However if its a one time thing and you have a dangerous side, you could dip into the database and do it manually? ---

Do I Have to be proficient (or even familiar) with python to be able to use it? ---

I don’t know if Tautulli maintains a separate db. I wouldn’t think there’s much point to even having an edit capability if it isn’t written to the Plex db. ---
