Add page where admins can view current downloads and past downloads

Would be amazing if there was a page in the settings to monitor current and past downloads from users.

Hi, have you checked out the downloads section on the server?

This only shows me which downloads I have saved myself. I’m looking for a feature that shows what my users have downloaded and are currently downloading.

This only applies to active/scheduled downloads to an installable client (ie; emby theater or emby for android/ios) and only if that client/user hasn't deleted the media/removed the download task afterwards.

 

It does not track downloads to web app clients, and items can be removed from that 'history' by the users that downloaded the items.

 

 

It would be good to have an actual history/log page that's usable to the admin (not just lines burried in the standard embyserver.log).

Correct. The manual downloads should show up in the activity log.

They do, but quickly get burried in general server activities.

If you're not explicitly looking for and noting each download as it happens; viewing the history of downloads beyond the last day or two is impossible.

Totally agreed. I find the activity log to be kind of a mess — SO much information is crammed in there with no visual differentiation. It’s begging to be reorganized.
