I would like to know how I can have PLEX send an automated email to my shared users when I add a new TV show or movie to my plex server. This seems like it would be easy to implement in a new update. Is this possible now by another means?
Tautulli can do that.
Ok, I installed it and tried to configure the notification settings in notification agents. I would prefer to use my hotmail, but I couldn’t get it to work as they use STRATTLS and couldn’t find guidance. So I went to GMAIL because I saw a post in the Tautulli wiki that had all the server info…below is what I have and cannot get it to work. I keep getting an error “Tautulli Notifiers :: Email notification failed: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions”
here are my settings
from: myemail@gmail.com
TO: tofriends@gmail.com
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
SMTP user: myemail@gmail.com
SMTP Password: mypassword
TLS: Checked
Triggers I have notify plex remote down: Checked
I can’t seem to get this email to work for hotmail/gmail
I cannot help you with Tautulli. Please go here https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/307821/tautulli-monitor-your-plex-media-server/p1#top and ask the developer directly.
