Limit the amount of devices of shared library

Share your library with friends and family is a great but it would be nice if we can control the amount of devices that person can watch your content. I don’t like the fact that a friend can give their account info to other friends with access to your library. Like if Plex can recognized their IP address and limit to that specific ip.

Maybe Tautulli is for you.
If you notice misuse with this, stop sharing with that “friend”.

In addition to Otto’s response.
There’s also an existing suggestion asking for an option to manage / limit friends and their devices. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

Thanks for sharing. I placed my vote.

I can’t use that program since my Plex is install on a server outside my home. I’m limited to what I can do.

It can be used with remote servers as well.

I will look into it. Thanks
