Admin: Clients

The Clients page lists every device that has connected to this server, who signed in on it, and what it can play.

---

The Table

Each row is one device:

• Client - the name the device gives itself, with the kind of client it is (a browser and operating system, a Roku model, the Sovereign app) and its device identifier beneath.
• Version - the build of the client that device is running, the same string its error reports carry. It’s reported when the device registers, which happens once per launch or sign-in, so it can be older than Last Seen. A device that hasn’t reported a version shows a dash.
• Users - the accounts that have signed in on that device. Hover the icon to see them.
• IP Address - where the device connected from.
• Video Codecs - the video formats the device told the server it can decode. This is what playback negotiation works from, so a device missing a codec here will be transcoded to something it does support.
• Errors - how many problems that device has reported. Click the count to open Client Errors already filtered to that device.
• First Seen / Last Seen - when the device first connected and when it was last active.

Expand a row to see the device’s full reported capabilities: its display size, connection type and downlink, whether it plays HLS natively or through MSE, its platform, model and user agent, and the full list of formats it supports.

A device that hasn’t connected for 90 days is removed from the list. Set Sovereign__ClientDevices__RetentionDays to change that, or to 0 to keep every device.

Note

If every device shows the same IP address, your reverse proxy is being recorded instead of the real client. Set Sovereign__Network__TrustedProxyNetwork__0 to your proxy’s address or CIDR range. See the Configuration reference.
