I have a user who has watched Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler 13 times in a month and I am starting to get concerned. I try to mind my own business with what people watch but when the stats say that it is the most watched movie and there is only one user that watched it, you start to get curious.

I have played Pixar’s Cars, Cars 2, and Cars 3 multiple times every single day for a month. Don’t have kids.

I used to use Star Trek (2009) as white noise to fall asleep.

I keep falling asleep trying to catch up on episodes of Bob’s Burgers.

My point being: they’re probably not mainlining Adam Sandler.

I had a buddy that realized rogue one put him in deep sleep in under ten minutes. He played it during the night on repeat for three months. His roommate was going nuts lol.

I wonder if he is capable of watching the movie now without falling asleep?

I will never get used to the idea of people using content to fall asleep. It just seems odd to me.

I can do Bob’s or American Dad! to fall asleep to. My wife, on the other hand, prefers the original run of Futurama.

For whatever reason, I’ll binge Gravity Falls if I’m stuck in bed sick.

You misunderstand, it is my friend but I try not to keep track of what my users are watching because it is kinda creepy. That being said, it is odd enough to be noticeable. So I could say something, but I don’t want to be weird for knowing what they watch.

While I enjoy ribbing a friend as much as anyone, a lot of people see it as an invasion of privacy, because it is.

Hasn’t really occurred to me to tell people unless they asked or it became necessary because they can’t get their transcode settings correctly.

This is the only relevant response to OP. Everyone else replied with the most logical answer: someone in their household is watching a show over and over.

OP shares his server out and is snooping on someone. Either let them do what they want on your server or remove their access.

It doesn’t bother me in that I want them to stop, I just find it very strange and somewhat humorous.

I have a few people I don’t know on my Plex.

They are friends with my partner, but I’ve never met them, so I wouldn’t have a way to ask them such things either.

I mean I guess I could send them an email, but meh.

It’s me I’m that user. I’ve used the office as background noise for as long as I’ve been using Plex.

My daughter has probably watched the entirety of Bluey a dozen times.

My dog likes Bluey! And she watches some movies over and over. The person sharing the server knows though.

I had to teach my toddlers how to rewind their Barney VCR tape because I got tired of doing it myself. I am quite sure they wore that tape out. Kids do things like that. If there’s only an adult in this house, they might be using it as background noise. I also know someone who leaves the tv on so their pets aren’t sitting in silence all day long and have something to hear. One does it because if she doesn’t have something going with noise her dog hears noises outside a thinks he needs to bark at them.

OP, you could just screen shot something and ask the person in a joking manner. Just show them the stats and ask to see their shrine to Adam Sandler…

I have a playlist of several series I put on to sleep to. Have for years. My play count of those shows/eps is in the thousands.

The idea of sleep streamers conflicts with my desire to provide a good service to my friends but also not waste bandwidth.
