Warn administrators before deleting media that is currently being watched

[martian 7]

According to my experiece, it would be very useful if Emby could warn the server administrator when attempting to delete a media item that is currently being streamed by one or more users.

Would it be possible?

Thanks!

HI, yes it's a good idea, although I think in most cases that delete would fail anyway.

Thanks Luke.

This is only based on my personal experience.

Some times, after to finish a movie or TV show, I use the delete function in the client, if I am not interested in keeping a copy in the library.

But I don't like to do it if one o some of the users are watching it. And I have to check it manually, or at least I do not know if there is other way to do it. Fortunately I only have a couple of users in my server.

Regards.

Do you mean actively watching it or have, perhaps, partially watched it at some point but haven't finished?

I mean both, but the request is mainly referred to partially watched it at some point but haven't finished.

Before to create the request I have been checking the forum, to see if someone asked for the same and avoid duplicities.

I have found information about a plugin for detecting active streamings, but nothing related to this request, although I did not a deep search. 

Thanks!
