BTW, I do not mean it should/must work on beta. Was just an update.

Thanks again

Just tested the plugin.
It seems to work fine here when on the latest Emby Beta.

Can you please supply me with a debug log from Emby.

Looks like it is working now. Thanks again!

I fixed a problem where it didn't read the time limits set in some cases and it all works on my end as it should.
See if it fixed it for you.

Timeout still doesn't block watching on Emby web - 1.6.4.0

Is the code on github anywhere, happy to take a look to help track this down.

Must admit i have purposely ignored doing anything to this plugin because i regret ever coming up with the idea for it.
Almost every time i see it mentioned it's by people using it for their streaming shares (pirate Netflix servers) where they now (thanks to this plugin) now sell watching hours.

I will look into this problem and after that i will delete everything to do with the plugin and hope the developers make something better and less beneficial for the pirates.
This is nobody's fault other than those people using it for piracy!!

Sorry you got to be the target of the rant, just had to get it off my chest.

It's sad when people take what should be a good thing and abuse it. I loved the notifications for direct play vs. transcoding, because it helped me to know when I need to adjust something, or why I may be having an issue.

Maybe the emby devs can roll that into the core server.
