[ Feature Request ] Advanced Alerts, "Now Playing" Details, & Watch History (i.e. a na

Hi --

 

I'd like to request a native solution to "PlexWatch" and "PlexWatchWeb" that's built directly into the standard Plex Web.  Right now, we can only see what our users are playing right now.  I noticed that I *cannot* see what other "Friends" (who I invited to share my libraries with) are watching at all.

 

For those unfamiliar with PlexWatch, I'd ideally love to see the following features (in preference order):

  1. Ability to see what invited friends are watching
  2. History of watched media by all users and invited friends
  3. Statistical breakdowns of peak watch times and most watched media (which can later be used as suggestions to other users)

 

I'm not sure the logistics behind the implementation, but I suspect that you can probably just directly integrate the PlexWeb code into all Plex Media Servers by default and release an update.  

 

Would definitely love to see this happen, though.  Please let me know if there's any way I can help out more!

Check out these other requests and like the first posts, if you would like to see them.

There are a few other request for the same things, so rather than scatter it all around, trying to consolidate them to a single post.

Notice the second one is more about kicking someone, but it's going to rely on knowing someone is on that needs kicking, so along the same lines as your request, just on a tangent.
