Using Plex.tv for geoip lookup is significantly easier for me to maintain. The code is simplifed by a lot. It also make it much easier for users without having to installing another 3rd party database. It also removes the need for me to provide additional support for people having issues with installing the GeoLite2 database.
There is no reason that your the geoip lookup has to be done through Tautulli. The script can query your local GeoLite2 database directly. Maybe that’s something @Blacktwin can look into for his script.
Hi! How would I go about setting up the geoip database? I signed up for an account and got my api key but when I got into tautulli there is no place to enter the data under 3rd party apis. All I have there is the information for cloudinary.
So just a heads up and maybe other people have the issue, I’m on android, one plus 6t, and anytime I click the libraries tab and go to movies or tv shows, the app force closes. Every single time. I’ve uninstalled the app, reinstalled the app, nothing works. Force close, clear cache, nada, can’t go any of the libraries on android.
Could you store, from plex.tv, a local lookup geoip db as remote users connect?
Most of @blacktwin JBOPS use Tautulli with no additional dependencies. (What few don’t also use plex directly)
I understand removing complexity for yourself, however, pushing it down the chain to another dev that relies on your API for some really great functionality seems a bit unnecessary.
Question. My dashboard isnt showing me accurate data regarding transcodes. eg. a user starts watching a movie and i know its transcoding because I am looking at it through the Varys app. The next day when I check my Tautulli dashboard and check on the graphs section is shows only direct plays were done. It tracked my users stream as a direct play. So either it was a direct play and the varys app was wrong or it wasnt and tautulli isnt correctly showing me the data. What can I do?
Sorry, reducing my time spent on providing support is a higher priority for me and removing the GeoLite2 database does that. I spent 2 weeks of my own Christmas holiday (probably more) fixing the code and dealing with people that couldn’t get it installed when MaxMind changed their licencing. I regret doing that and I should have changed geolookup to use Plex.tv at that point. I can’t base my decisions for Tautulli on external scripts. Simplifying the user experience and my own time come first.
The API hasn’t changed. It’s still the same API command and it still returns the same data (albeit it might take more time). I talk to @Blacktwin every day and I will help him integrate a local database into his script.
Trying to install Tautulli on Debian Buster. I have followed all the instructions, up to starting the service. Its telling me I cannot write to the data directory /opt/Tautulli but I did run the chown command: sudo chown tautulli:tautulli -R /opt/Tautulli. It came back with no errors.
Do I need to login as Tautulli to get this to work?
I tried looking through everything to see if there is a solution to this, so my apologies if I missed what has already been discussed.
Is there a way to set the data columns globally? I have no need to track user’s IP addresses at the moment and would like to remove that column globally. Right now it seems I have to go into each piece of content and remove that column. Thanks in advance!
