Play History

Some users I share Plex with shows as watching media but nothing shows up in their play history?

Play history only records completely watched items.

If you mean the new user-based history, users can opt not to show it to others.

Oh I see, so if they have not fully watched it will not show up?

Nope.

ok, so what does it mean when the same item shows up in history 2-3 times?

Maybe it was watched 2-3 times.
(There were also some bugs in the past which resulted in multiple watched event being recorded in the history.)

Which history are you referring to? There are 2 very distinct ones.

Similar to this, but was back in April, so maybe it is fixed now

I see that this is the old history in the server dashboard.
It is not the most reliable and has some quirks.
If you want a more reliable one,consider using Tautulli.

So has this issue been fixed in Plex since April 2024?
I get my daughter texting me all the time to download new movies, I am at a stage saying to her you are not watching them and she says she does but doesn’t show up in her history.
do you have a link to download Tautulli? and I will have a play with it.
Cheers

Tautulli

Thanks
