Is there a way to see what your Friends are watching via logs?

Curious if there is a log kept that I can open to see what date, time, and content my approved “Friends” are leeching from my server?

Try using PlexPy. It’s what most of us use to log viewing history now. Great program by some nice guys.

I second plexPY. You can setup notifications as well. I have mine email me then through my phone and gmail app I set it to give me notifications when I get one of those emails. So I get an audible alert on my phone when someone is watching something from my pms. Works quite well. And it logs it all. You can even track by IP address.

Just curious: why would you want to know what your friends are watching?

If you see people are always watching the same stuff, it could be useful to pre-optimize once and have them all stream that version. Takes load off your CPU.

For me it’s just kinda cool. I like seeing when people are watching stuff. And it also adds a layer of security. It’s not the end all of security but it can help and provides you another set of logs to look through.

I like seeing what people are watching, so I can add more of that type of show or music.

I see. Makes sense.

I realize it’s been several months, but I just wanted to chime in and thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers!
