Filter

Filters allow you to specify which users and clients should scrobble to your trakt.tv account, they are usually required when you share your server with other people. Without any filters activity from all connected users (local + remote) will be scrobbled to your trakt.tv account.

Filters are designed as an "allowed" list, so you specify the usernames, client names you would like to scrobble, multiple values can be separated with commas.

Filter - myPlex users

Plex account usernames to allow scrobbling from

  • Requires you to be logged on each client
  • This filter may not function correctly for users without PlexPass

Filter - Clients

Client names to allow scrobbling from

Easiest way to find your clients name is opening http://localhost:32400/clients in your browser and looking for an entry that looks like <Server name="<your client name>".

Filter - Sections

Plex sections/libraries to scrobble

Specify the names of sections/libraries, for example movies, tv shows, etc...

Filter - IP Networks

IP Addresses or networks to allow scrobbling from

Allows you to define specific addresses (192.168.1.100) or an entire network (192.168.1.0/24) to allow scrobbling from.

Note - requires Plex Media Server v0.9.9.7 or later for this to work.
