I have been using your app basically to get alerts on my home plex server when users play something.  Now I want to use it remotely and have it send alerts to pushover.  I tried first turning on the webserver and I am getting the system cannot find the path specified error.  I setup pushover and hit test and I get the remote server returned an error bad request 400. I found these issues both posted here recently with no resolution.  Any ideas? ---

OK here is what I am actually trying to do, maybe there is a easier way. I have the Phillips Hue system and I want the lights to auto dim when I start playing anything on plex. When I pause I want the lights to come back on and resume dim again. I think I can do this with Pushover and an ifttt recipe if I could get pushover to work. ---

Alpha v0.0.0.80  - Added Pushbullet  - Fixed crash where informational messages could be clicked.  - Fixed crash where closing some notifications would cause Plex Notify to crash. ---

Hello, A big thank you for your application, I would like to know if it will be possible to get a notification when new media is added. I would also like to know if it was possible to send a http request for each pause or playback media for a specific user (in order to incorporate it into my home automation) Thank you for your answers! ---

Excellent!    For a http request, just a field available in the application to a specific user. But I am aware that my application is very specific. Or can be used a notification service already available and articulate it with a http request .. I need to think about.    An integration with Twitter is it also possible?    I love this app! ---
