Managing the Player History - How To Delete Entry (?) - Delete Full User History (?)

hello… i have plex media server setup on a windows platform.
i really like the player history, however, i would like to be able to manage this also… is this possible?
are we able to delete entries that have been played under an account or simply delete an entire users history and start over??

thanks

sorry there is not a function for that. You would need to go into database and delete things manually with an sqlite3 editor. not something I recommend unless you know your way around a database

@BigWheel
What would happen if the admin deleted the shared user altogether? Would that also purged that information?

And if not, would that information link back up to that particular user if you re-add then to your server?

And and, if not, then would that information now be orphaned?

Data remains in your server’s history. I’ve got a number of such records with users I created solely for testing purposes (e.g. never playing any media).
As for „and“ and „and and“ I’ll have to leave that to someone else :wink:

The history is not purged. If you share with that user account again yes it will be linked back up with that user.

The only time it would be “orphaned” I guess is if you delete a managed user since that will delete the managed account from Plex.tv. Even if you create a new managed user with the same username it would have a new user ID.

are there any plans at all to add even the most minimalistic management to this feature?.. anything, such as a checkbox next to a title/user and a delete drop down once all titles/users are selected? this idea is no different than using a simple sql editor… it makes no sense why there wouldn’t be when virtually any type of history feature is accompanied with a delete

but again… are there at least plans to implement some kind of history management… looking through the forum i see many others who would also like to see this added.

I can only suggest making a request in the feature suggestion area of forums if there is not already and vote on it.
