How to disable stats reported to plex.com?

I notice in recent updates it now shows a bunch of statistical information on streams, bandwidth use, ect.
How do we disable this dogshit?
I have no interest in sharing any information with a service that collects data on it’s own accord.
If I want to know that kind of info, I’d write something or use a 3rd party tool locally.

When you use Plex, you go by the following:

If that’s not what you want, then stop using Plex!

You’ll find no help up here to bypass Plex !

It appears some of the stats collection can be disabled.

Time for some wireshark/tcpdump & some other tools.

I would not supply any free testing results to any companies supplying nothing in return & no source code access.

If you’re referring to the new Dashboard, I believe that information is kept entirely on your server. Can’t remember the thread that I read it on but it’s out there.

Here’s the rub. Feeds within firewall packages like pfBlockerNG are automatically blocking anything viewed as malicious or a violation of privacy by their authors. It’s very difficult to know what you expect us to unblock without that same information.

correct that is all stuff saved in your servers database.
