Plex Activity displays playback sessions reported by a Tautulli server on the desktop. It combines user information, stream quality, transcoding status and progress bars in a configurable panel. Background opacity, update timing and the number of listed streams can be adjusted through the skin's variables file.

## What this skin includes

- Reads playback activity from Tautulli.
- Shows user details, stream quality, transcoding status and progress bars.
- Requires a Tautulli address and API key.
- BgColor controls background color and opacity.
- MaxStreams defaults to five, with an overflow message when the list is truncated.
- Includes connection-error reporting.

## Setup and limits

Download the latest .rmskin from Releases and double-click it to install. Load Skins -> Tautulli -> PlexActivity.ini. Right-click and choose Edit skin, or open @Resources/variables.inc, then set PlexPyAddress and APIKey for your Tautulli server. Save configuration changes and refresh the skin.

A reachable Tautulli server and valid API key are required. The documented meters support at most 20 streams without regeneration; larger lists require running the supplied Node script and replacing meters.inc.
