Media watched by which users

[bobaldis 24]

Hi,

I've searched the KB but couldn't see any related, but if I've missed something please feel free to direct me to it.

I want to clear some space on my server, what I would like if possible to get a list of all media watched by all the users on my server that way I can start with these 1st.

Appreciate any help with this.

Regards,

Bob

Try the Playback Reporting plug-in.

Note the plugin runs its own database so it only tracks from the time of installation.

Thanks, yes noticed this, looks interesting, but would like a more media centric view ie list the media viewed by the number of users, so those viewed by all users could be removed to preserve disk space.

Playback Reporting Plugin only knows about media that has been played so it cant give you a count for all media.

The play state of media is per user and you could build a report with the information that is in the standard Emby system but it would tale a long time, you would need to query for each user in the system and each media item and compile a report. This would take time.

@Luke Unless there is an API that allows you to query an item with all users watched stats?

The Breakdown view of the plug-in gets close to that showing you media sorted by plays and time. You can click on the media items in the same view to list who watched them and when.

The tricky part of getting a list of media watched by all users is that all means ALL. The more users you have the less likely you are to get a hit unless you start looking for a subset of users. For example, if you have an Admin account you may or may not want to include it.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that section, I only have a few family members so it won't be too bad.

As mentioned only drawback is it is reading its own database so you are limited to when it started tracking.

But I suspect you not looking for a one by one query.
