What is the current/easiest way to view user history?

[unrais 14]

Hi all, I'm new to Emby having moved from Plex as a Plex pass lifetime account holder, but I've not been enjoying the way they've been developing lately etc

 

Currently I really like Emby, I'm using it in Kodi with Emby for Kodi and it definitely feels quicker than the Plex version.

 

Anyway, I share my server with some family and friends. Is there a way for me to see their play history? I know you can see in the dashboard what they're watching while they're watching it, but is there anywhere to see the history of what they've watched? If so, how do you access this?

 

Cheers!

Have a look at the "Playback reporting" plugin

once loaded will give you what you need

its not retrospective

I use 2 plugins for this. the first is playback reporting, which has a lot of cool info on what your users are playing, breakdown of playing times, etc. (there is a lot more than that). The other plugin I use is the statistics plugin, which allows me to see the watch progress for my users for TV shows. It doesn't show watch process for Movies, which I wish it had, but that's ok.

Thanks both :), playback reporting looks to be what I'm mostly looking for so will start with that and add the stats plugin in future if a feel something is missing

I'm also currently looking for a way to see what videos a user has watched - And get paths or links to them as well. I just installed Watch history, but does it actually provide a link or path to the files being played? The closest it gives me is the ItemName, which is not the most useful when trying to track down a video file.

I find that if I just have Mr. Peabody fire up the "Wayback Machine" and then I can find any history about any user I want.
