Plex Event Handler - Kick off users who pause or play from multiple devices

Been running my plex server for a number of years, a lot of my friends, family and randoms tend to pause content for longer then necessary, along with sharing their accounts with other friends and so forth, so I decided to write this nodejs app, to kill their stream if they pause or play from the same user account simultaneously. Some have been banned for this, but I thought I could do this to do all the work for me.

Here you go Plex Event Handler

Runs on windows, osx and linux, pretty much anything that runs nodejs.

Feel free to contribute with PR’s and issues.

Thanks.

This is really cool. I like that you can create custom messages. Does it populate the message in the same place as it does in PMS if you kill a stream?

@MeatBall it absolutely does!! and for all devices too!!

But you can only send messages on killing the stream, not sure if you can send random messages at will.

That’s very cool. I’m going to get that setup tonight.

I’ve run into the same thing, where friends passed around their logins a little too liberally. I’d love to have an automated response when that happens. Thanks a lot for sharing, I’ll circle back once I have it rolling.

Haha, no worries, let me know if you have any issues.
