@Tangogr just tested it and it works for me. I'm not sure what the hang up is on your end. PlexPy can be somewhat slow to update the stream information, so it may display that it's still playing for a minute. Also I believe this feature is for Plex Pass only. Though I would assume if you don't have a Plex Pass then it would error out.

Ohhh, ok, maybe is for plex pass users, and I am not... I´ll test again and will report, THANKS for your help!

@sbcrumb Please check the updated version of this script in my repo. If you have any problems please use the Issue section to report your problem. I don't get notifications from Gist comments.

I know this is not the current one, which I am using and is working great, but is there a way to kill a users 2nd stream even if it is on the same IP address? I ask because when I am watching something on my same network it doesn't kill the other stream cause it lists the same IP. Would be nice to just kill any stream past 1. Thanks!
