hi,  
  
I recently shared content of my account with friends, but I soon realized they shared their account with many other people.  
  
If I put up a filter by IP,&nbsp; it puts a limit at Plex services. (dynamic ip for smartphone, tablet etc ...)

So it would be interesting to implement a new feature:

&nbsp;

**"devices limit per user account on Multi-User features"**

&nbsp;

These are asking for much the same thing and have already gotten some support.&nbsp; (the second one has over 500 votes in it.)&nbsp; If you know who the bad user is, take them off the list, or share a small library with a single "You screwed up" video on it.
