Just upgraded to Tautulli from PlexPy. One thing that’s different is when I look at the History in Tautulli, every user listed in the first column (“User”) is identified as “Local.” In PlexPy, the users in this column were identified by their name. Can anyone tell me a setting that would grab the User’s name and identify them that way? Thanks.

Please go here and repost, since that’s where the dev hangs out

Thank you for your reply, but I was still having the same problem. I uninstalled everything and did a fresh re-install. Problem solved.
