After the latest update Plex Notify does not launch.
Says;
Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.

Awesome job JBurlison!

Thanks, that worked.
Also, I never did get the Mysql DB to work on my media server. I was however able to get it working connected to my PC, So I think it may be a WHS 2011 issue maybe.

I got the update today and now the program crashes after about 1 minute. I tried uninstalling completely and reinstalling from the website to no avail. This has worked for me in the past, but no luck this time :( I am quite sad and missing out! It really is an addiction lol.

Your database is probably out of date. There have been multiple changes in updtes to it. So you have to drename your old one. Its under c:/programdata/plex Notify. rename that directory.

Actually delete your log file in that directory first.

I tried just deleting the log file, and then I renamed the database. The log file did not fix the issue. Renaming the database and making it create a new one seems to have fixed the problem. I will keep you apprised if problems continue. Thanks for the help!

Feature request:
Would it be possible to have detailed notification settings per user? ie. John only shows some notifications after 25% but Steve shows all notifications.

I emailed into Zapier today and will post any comments I receive back as I am curious if @Plex Dev @Elan - have you looked into being an 'official trigger app' of [https://zapier.com](https://zapier.com) or IFTTT?
I apologize in advance if this impossible due to Plex or Zapier or IFTTT technical limitations or it complicates matters further, but to me it seems a great way to easily give Plex users ultimate control and flexibility without too much dev for Plex.
Cheers!

FYI - Zapier said it does look like an integration should be possible and that there's a couple ways new services get added to Zapier and here's a link with more info on that process: [https://zapier.com/help/getting-new-service-zapier](https://zapier.com/help/getting-new-service-zapier).
Will point out that Zapier requires (as of today) that Plex must have an API and that API must be [REST](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) or [XML-RPC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC) based and 'simple apps with simple apis' don't even require any coding.

This is true. It keeps the info cached. This way in the future you can still see the "watched" information on the video. Keeps the stats accurate.

So all is on track to release the initial web server stuff, Email and RSS within the next week. The plugin interfaces will also be updated to reflect the new changes.
