Maybe this exists, but thought to ask-  
When signed in the plex server it would be handy to have a log screen where I could see current and past activity by user/device. I would like to have a handle on activity from my plex server.  
I think it already has a ‘now playing’ screen but would like to see that extended to show current and recent history by user/device.  
Good idea?  
Regards,  
John

PlexPy does all of that. Do a search for PlexPy and you’ll find the thread on it.

Ok. But the implementation sounds complicated. Is there a reason this not a feature built into the plex server?

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (3rd party options, Plex server dashboard, playback history)
