Stop User Stream - Plex Pass Feature?

General Discussions

Hi,
I’m sure I read that it was possible to stop a user’s stream from the Plex Web Console but after just googling it I literally can’t find anything on it so thought maybe it’s part of Plex Pass but nothing mentioned in the features there.
Anyone know if this is actually possible? In Development? Plex Pass feature?
Thanks,
Andy

Don’t think it’s plex pass only, but, I don’t know.
While a user is streaming using a Plex client, go to your server Plex web, select “Status” heartbeat/wave icon at upper right, then “Now Playing” - hold mouse over user you want to stop. Click big X, and it should prompt for a reason.

EDIT 0 Also, it’s pretty clearly described in the Plex Wiki.

It doesn’t mention needing Plex Pass.

Has to be a plex pass option cause I dont get the option to stop the video when i checked and im not a plex pass member anymore

Wish it was an option for non members its been something that has been wanted for years now.

You can’t have everything for free I’m afraid :wink:

I’ve never seen the option to Stop Playback, just done a google and it looks like it was introduced around February 2017. So it’s either a Plex Pass option or there is a bug that’s stopping it.
I created a new jail and install the Plex Plugin again but it is missing the same feature so doesn’t look like a bug

Yes, the ability to stop a stream from web is a Plex pass feature.

Thanks MovieFan.Plex, might be worth putting that under the Plex Pass feature list
