Get current watching user IP address

Is there any easy way to get the IP address of a remote client? I'm aware I could just run lsof or netstat but that's not exactly what I was looking for.  I'm looking for a way to associate a user who could be found in the http://plex:32400/status/sessions with the intention of using it to create a map of users, using geoip to determine their location.  I also thought about using the IP to add an iptables firewall rule to block specific clients temporarily if need be.

 

I was hoping there was an easier way that i've overlooked, because only LAN clients show up under http://plex:32400/clients, and it would be nice to have http://plex:32400/remote-clients .... if that makes sense ...

 

I did find in the Plex Media Server.log files when DEBUG is enabled (for Plex Media Server) it will show a GET request, and it looks like that could be associated with <Player machineIdentifier="13C25X005067">

I´m using Pushover notifications to monitor who's watching what, on what platform/device and from what IP. Also able to see that same information in the awesome PlexWatchWeb interface.
