Kill Plex Streams without Plex Pass

README.md

Inspiration

Inspiration from kill_stream.py but wihtout the need of Plex Pass.
Kill any transconding stream or paused for a long time.

Cons:

• Client IP blocked for 2 minutes
• Plex App could hang or crash
• Can't send messagens to user
• Requires root or sudo privileges

Dependencies

• dsniff
• root or sudo privilege user with NOPASSWD

Sudo setup
IMPORTANT: Only use this if you are NOT running Tautulil as root
Edit /etc/sudoers.d/tautulli.conf

tautulli ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/tcpkill  
tautulli ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/timeout  

Replace tautulli with service username.
Find systemd service user:
$ grep 'User=' /etc/systemd/system/tautulli.service

Install

$ wget -O kill_stream.sh https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Generator/9da560853ce7001e188fcfb30ea673ca/raw/kill_stream.sh

• Playback Pause
• Playback Resume

• Playback Resume: -r

Usage

-H IP           - Kill selected IP  
-i dev          - Custom Network device
-G gateway      - Custom Router gateway [ exclude gateway ]
-t time         - Paused time [default 20 minutes]
-p              - Kill paused stream
-r              - Resumed stream
-h | --help     - Help

Hey, am I the only one who's getting an error for every execution?

Any idea what's I'm missing here ?
