[Feature]: Inactivity / continuous-play “are you still watching?” rule

[Ba11in0nABudget]

Describe the feature

Add a monitoring rule that tracks a user’s continuous streaming duration. If a user streams continuously past a configurable threshold, trigger a message/kill the stream. If they are there, they can simply restart the stream, if not then it successfully stopped them wasting bandwidth for those of us with data caps.

Examples or references

Not really sure if any other apps do this to provide and example.

Platform

• Web Dashboard
• Mobile App

There is a mod in Jellyframe called Are you still watching? by grimmdev. That does what you want

I'm not a Jellyfin user (atleast not as my primary) so this wouldn't work for me. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Oh I see.
Well I want a similar feature, maybe both could be done in parallel.. I want to add a session duration filter in rules, to only penalize transcoding after some minimum time-

Another vote for this feature.

I've got several "fell asleep in front of the TV" and "kids left it on" users.

I found a plugin for this. However, I still would like a rule in Tracearr to warn and show in the Tracearr dashboard that a user has been watching for hours on end too many times, maybe with an integration for this plugin or something.

This is nice to have on paper, but a very large subset of JF clients do not support stream killing or messages. I will look to adding it to the SSE plugin if feasible, but if not there are no plans to add it if it does not globally work as that delivers a poor experience

This feels ai generated which is ignored here - but regardless those are not things we will ever implement.

Please find another place to spend your tokens, they are not of any value here.
