A scenario where a household with 2 people both with plex on tablet plus a rasplex connected to the tv can generate a lot of frustration when both watch the same shows. If they share a single account, the “watched/unwatched” can be difficult to track, if they use different accounts it’s impossible. …

Have you looked at plex home? this should do what you want it to :slight_smile:

Really??? I didn’t realised it works like a joint account… I will sure have a look. Thanks Edit: unfortunately plex home is NOT what I need/want… In plex home individual users will see their own “seen” status for each episode/movie…

One way to solve this is for the preplay screen to have a section where it shows “Watched by:” and a list of people in your plex home who have watched it. However, users should need to opt in to that so privacy can be preserved if desired.

… and when logged in on the joint account and resuming a movie you would be presented with options to resume from either users or start fresh… That would be really awesome…
