Issue using 0.71 unable to see webserver rss feed on WIndows 8.1 I have configured Plex-\> web to enabled and 8082 - status is 'running'. Navigating to [http://localhost:8082/rss/](http://localhost:8082/rss/) gives 'this page can't be displayed'. System Tray has no webserver icon - just plex notify.. ProgtamData/WebServer/WWW/rss has a index.xml file populated with info. No errors in either windows event logs not PlexNotify xml log. No obvious web server task running in task manager. What is wrong? ---

~~for people having trouble with their webserver the default web binding is ":8082:localhost" note the colon in front of the port. It is required. Also delete your  WebServer directory in C:\ProgramData\Plex Notify if it say its missing a file when you start it (alpha 72 and higher).~~ EDIT scratch that. theres a problem. ---

Thanks for all the hard work JBurlison After trying to run the server to gain the rss feed i was getting "unhandled exception" and other errors. I am using windows 7 and the iss service was turned off by default, after enabling them (programs and features / Turn windows features on or off) everything works fine, just posting in case anyone else as the same problem.

I have a slightly different error (running Windows 8), I have installed IIS as suggested but the error I receive is "The system cannot find the path specified" - "For more information about the error, run iisexpress.exe with the tracing switch enabled (/trace:error)" So seems to be a problem loading the .exe as even why I try and launch via CMD with the trace switch as suggested it just throws an error! ---

PlexNotify has stopped working on my computer. It seems it happend during the last autoupdate. Should I just delete all the files and install everything again? But will that make me lose all my stats? What files should I backup before deleting and reinstalling? I found some files in C:ProgramData, but there didn't seem to be all the files. And what happens when PlexNotify isn't running and someone watches a video from my server? Will PlexNotify go through the logs from Plex when I start it again and realize what has been watched while PlexNotify was off? Or are these stats gone?
