Hello there, I’m trying to find a way to get notified (myself) when a new episode of a tv show has been aired. So not internally, not the users that get a message, but just a notice, “[TV SHOW] has been aired yesterday”, to myself. Or maybe, and this would be very cool, to have blured episodes of those you don’t yet have. Anybody any ideas? ---

That would be a COOL feature in Plex, which should be do-able with a PlexPass! I vote for this too! ---

I’m using Serist app for that, there is an option to get e-mail notification on the show you follow as soon as it aired… Pretty handy. ---

I use an app on my phone called TV Time…gives me notifications of what is coming up or has aired. That way I can check to ensure my DVR catches it. ---

Those are all nice applications/websites, but it would be more handy if it would be integrated 😉 I’m currently checking out [https://next-episode.net/](https://next-episode.net/) and maybe if I can make an api call or something, I could get it to work, but I would need help from plex to integrate 😛 ---
