I have a user who has watched Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler 13 times in a month and I am starting to get concerned. I try to mind my own business with what people watch but when the stats say that it is the most watched movie and there is only one user that watched it, you start to get curious.

      You misunderstand, it is my friend but I try not to keep track of what my users are watching because it is kinda creepy. That being said, it is odd enough to be noticeable. So I could say something, but I don’t want to be weird for knowing what they watch.

      While I enjoy ribbing a friend as much as anyone, a lot of people see it as an invasion of privacy, because it is.

          Hasn’t really occurred to me to tell people unless they asked or it became necessary because they can’t get their transcode settings correctly.

              Ignorance is often confused for malicious intent. This person knows the user wants privacy, but it never occurred to them to tell the user where their privacy ends.

              He could write a EULA, but this is a private Plex server; why would he need one until privacy becomes a concern?

                It is one of those things you don’t really think about until it pops up.

      This is the only relevant response to OP. Everyone else replied with the most logical answer: someone in their household is watching a show over and over.

      OP shares his server out and is snooping on someone. Either let them do what they want on your server or remove their access.

        It doesn’t bother me in that I want them to stop, I just find it very strange and somewhat humorous.

      I have a few people I don’t know on my Plex.

      They are friends with my partner, but I’ve never met them, so I wouldn’t have a way to ask them such things either.

      I mean I guess I could send them an email, but meh.
