Tautulli

Tautulli addresses the shortcomings in Plex's built-in analytics by offering the detailed statistics and monitoring crucial for media server administrators. While Plex only displays basic "Now Playing" information, Tautulli keeps comprehensive historical records, produces detailed reports, and dispatches customizable notifications regarding server activity. For anyone operating a Plex server for family or friends, Tautulli provides clear insight into how the library is being utilized.

Common Use Cases

Plex administrators monitor real-time streaming activity to ascertain that server resources can manage simultaneous users, pinpointing instances where transcoding load affects performance. Library curators analyze viewing statistics to understand which content is popular and what goes unwatched, guiding decisions regarding future content additions. Server operators set up notifications for new user registrations, playback starts, or server issues to remain updated without the need for continuous dashboard monitoring. Users mindful of bandwidth track data consumption patterns to fine-tune quality settings or plan intensive usage during off-peak periods. Household users share viewing history with family members and monitor watch progress across various devices within the home.
