Title: Is there any way to track who is connected to your Media Server via Panel?
Post by: kwake on March 15, 2021, 04:47:28 pm

Is there somewhere you can see the number of currently connected users with their IP addresses? Perhaps the ability to kick any off that you aren't expecting?

Thanks,
Kwake

Set up authentication and restart the server.

Thanks Jim, so I need to set a password and give it to all expected users and then MC will be able to tell me who is currently connected at any one time? Where would I go to find that information in MC?

To be clear, I'm not concerned about security really, I only want to know who is currently connected to my server (I've sent the URL to friends and family only).

In the rare case that I don't recognize a particular connection, the ability to kick them, and even add to a block list, would be ideal - but not what I'm looking for in this question.

Regards,
Kwake

There is no way to do this atm (as far as I am aware). MC does not report this info anywhere.

At most, MC would be able to tell you the IP addresses of incoming connections and which shared file they're playing, but that's not implemented yet.

You can get the IPs of the current connections with a tool like this:
