Tracearr is a monitoring platform for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media servers. It provides a unified dashboard to track sessions in real time, analyze playback behavior, and detect suspicious account sharing across one or many servers.

Key Features

Multi-server dashboard for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby in a single interface
Real-time session monitoring with complete history (user, device, IP/geolocation, time)
Playback analytics including direct play vs transcode, bandwidth usage, codecs, resolutions, and quality metrics
Stream map view to visualize where streams originate, with filtering by user/server/time
Account-sharing detection rules (impossible travel, simultaneous locations, device velocity, concurrent streams, geo restrictions)
User trust scoring based on rule violations
Real-time alerts and notifications, including webhook-based integrations
Import historical data from Tautulli and Jellystat

Use Cases

Home media server admins monitoring usage across Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby
Detecting and responding to credential sharing or suspicious streaming behavior
Understanding transcoding load, bandwidth patterns, and client device compatibility

Limitations and Considerations

Long retention and large histories are best supported with TimescaleDB; plain PostgreSQL may degrade over time for heavy analytics workloads
Real-time session detection differs by platform (Plex can use server-sent events, while others may rely on polling)

Tracearr is well-suited for administrators who want unified visibility across multiple media servers, with both operational analytics and security-oriented sharing detection. It combines real-time monitoring with historical reporting to help keep streaming performance and access behavior under control.
