plexSentry (20160511 Update)

Huh, that’s weird considering that I’m a Android user and I put in the orphan streams feature because of Apple devices. If you had to configure things directly in the database, it probably means that it’s not grabbing info automatically and that’s causing issues later. I’ll put together a version with a log file option this weekend and we’ll get to the bottom of this.

Any Progress on a logging version to find out why no one can play unless local?

Jesus, there’s alot of activity in here. @Jskala, is the database actually retaining all of the previous streams for you?

Yes I can see the list of users with starts no finishes. see screen shot.

The one with 9 finishes that is my local account. The 34 starts is my own android device.

@jskala , log added, run a couple of tests and then send the log to me

Here you go two log files. played on my android and killed.

@jskala , Any chance you want to use Teamviewer portable and I’ll walk through your setup?

Sure what info you need?

sent you a PM, what server version are you using?

Well i uninstalled everything then started again and now it’s working (using sqllite), thanks very much for this @random.server & thank you for your help yesterday @sbcrumb . Only issue i seem to have is with the thumbnail image but i can certainly live with that.

Make sure any reference to your ip internal or external is http://ip:32400 without http my thumbs didn’t work.

I’ll give that a try @jskala .
Thank you

@jskala I was think of ways to help out your situation. While I can’t kill direct plays, I could have it send out a warning email when the direct play bit rate is above a limit, and i’m looking at the alllll the various server XMLs again to see if i can somehow back into a transcode bit rate without writing a log parser.

@random.server is there any way to not kill channels? I have a tablo which i stream local OTA tv from and it kills that stream on me.

@smckay79 I don’t know, it’s probably seeing it as a orphan child, I’ll do some testing and see what comes up in media sessions versus transcode sessions

@smckay79 pushed through an update addressing your issue (now monitors shared channels) and updated the orphan job watcher for sync and optimizer jobs.

Awesome, gonna try it out here!
