Request,

I have 3 monitors in extended desktop, the center monitor is my main display, i have plex notify on my HTPC as the master and on this PC, (my gaming PC ). Is it possible to change the screen with which the notification appears, as it only appears currently on my main display which is the monitor i play games on. Therefore i miss the notifications.

An option to have it appear in a different display would be nice.

Notifications are not being pushed to Pushover. Nor do I see any data when viewing statistics. Some assistance please. Attached is my Plex Notify log.&nbsp; A test push works fine.

I had to switch my Windows 7 theme from Windows clasic to Windows 7 aero to play nice with your GUI. I was unable to adjust the tick box on the users tab for notifcations or email. It would not display the check mark without theme adjustment. It's still not pushing alerts however. I assume it's supposed to be instant? The only statistic I see incrementing is most concurrent streams.

Thanks for the tip. I initially had .33 installed prior to updating to the latest build. Never got around to installing pushover to test. When I finally downloaded pushover to test I noticed it not working. Uninstalled and deleted Plex Notify folder and all appears well. Thanks.

Offhand I see two potential problems:

1: Many use PlexBMC without myPlex login, which makes usage reporting impossible.

2: PlexBMC by itself doesn't handle usage reports. You also need the 'PlexBMC Helper' addon.

There are currently some issues being worked on by the PlexBMC developers.

So depending on your XBMC version and possible 'CloudSync' sections you may need to try different versions for best effect.

I use PlexBMC v3.4.3 together with 'PlexBMC Helper' v3.4.1, and an Amber skin that makes XBMC act like a real Plex client.

For 'Frodo' XBMC I use Amber v1.3.2, and for 'Gotham' XBMC I use Amber v1.5.8

(But some reports say that the latest 'Gotham' releases give trouble for PlexBMC)

If you have any 'CloudSync' sections you'll probably need to use PlexBMC v3.4.5 or later.

Thanks for your answer&nbsp;

&nbsp;

My Plexserver is not on the local LAN. So I am always logged into the Plex.TV.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

As XBMC I still use the last office OpenELEC Frodo version.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Which versions that I have when Plexbmc and the Helper I'll check tomorrow.&nbsp;

Cloudsync I do not use.

Hi,

I just installed PlexNotify and it works out of the box. Good job and thanks alot!

I wondered if I can use it to control my philips hue, because I would love to do some magic stuff like dimming the light down on playback start/resume, dimming it up on stop/pause and so on. So is there any chance that you will provide hue-support in the near future? I can help you if you have any questions about the hue-system. I have started a hue library on my own (but didn't finished) so I'm a little bit into it.

Cheers,

SoMeGuY

Awesome news, I have been checking in daily to keep a track, the current setup is working great but will be superb when the web interface is complete.

Keep up the excellent work&nbsp; :D
