Stop Dead Sessions

[plittlefield 56]

I have 2 sessions running right now - both from the same User and he says he stopped watching it last night.

Emby Sessions: 2

Is there a way to kill these 'dead' sessions without restarting the server?

Currently no as there are several topics on this.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I thought I revisit this as it is still a real issue for those using Chromecast.

Last night, one of my friends started watching a movie using his iPhone casting to a Google Chromecast then stopped watching it 2 hours later.

I have a Pushover notification set up for any media which enters the 'stopped' state.

When I woke up this morning I had over 500 notifications - 1 a minute saying that 'Dave had stopped watching ...".

So yeah, t's still a problem.

I have had to block his access for now to stop my phone from going mental.

Yes, I am aware I could turn off the notifications but that would defeat the object of seeing if there is something wrong.

This happens to me if I pause any media as well - after exactly 1 minute I get a Pushover notification saying "Paul has stopped watching ..."

I will leave that with you.
