maybe 4 or 5 versions back i used to be able to see what users viewed what movie and when now that’s all gone. anyway of adding a filter to the log back so i can see what movies/libraries have been viewed by my users?
Don’t bother with the event messages.
There is a much way better way for what you want to do: PlexPy
Thanks for the link Otto however both step #1 (easy) and #2 (preferred) fall apart when launching the App itself on my windows platform. for sake of resolving lets talk about the “easy step#1” - please look at my comment next to "double click plex.py below:
•Method 1 (easy):
◦Download PlexPy from GitHub: https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy/zipball/master
◦Extract the ZIP file.
◦Double click PlexPy.py . (THIS Step will not work as the extension of “gy” has no registration in Windows)
◦PlexPy will be loaded in your browser or listening @ http://localhost:8181.
◦Create a shortcut to PlexPy.py and copy that to your startup folder ( C:\Documents and Settings<Username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup ) to startup PlexPy when Windows starts.
As per the instructions they think it should launch a browser but there is no association nor a program installed for Git so I wonder how this would ever work without some sort of installer to be run?

You haven’t read carefully.
This guide assume you have Python 2.7 installed already. Python 3.x is not supported.
Since this is a Python app, you need to install Python itself first. After you’ve done that, .py scripts are associated with Python and the guide will work.
I am using it myself, even set up as a Windows System service.
yes you are correct didn’t see the python install prefix. Now that i got set up and after a couple reboots the plexPy has been updating Library ID’s for over 24 hours now… no data on any of the tabs for my users and i know last night was a busy night according to my syslog server collecting traffic patterns from my firewall.
any ideas on what step was missed to get this running?
I can’t help you with that. All support for PlexPy is done in this thread https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/169591/plexpy-another-plex-monitoring-program#latest
thanks i’ll check that out Otto
