Sorry but for me it does not work.  
  
The new version displays notifications but many loop while I launch a single film. It displays notification for stop and pause that do not exist.  
  
How did you set your notifications?

I did a fresh install. I'm notify when Pause, Resumed from Pause, Resumed from Stop, Stop and play.

I set the refresh to 5 seconds. The previous release worked very well with these parameters.

Any idea ?

I'm now using version 0.0.0.87, and as far as I can see everything now works fine, just the way I wanted it. :)

Thanks a lot for the quick and positive response. Your level of support for this application is quite impressive.

I'm on 0.0.0.87 but I'm still having issues. Now whenever anything is played the activity log is filled up with has stopped watching , even though I've actually started it. And hence I don't get a notification either.

I am liking what you have coming in beta 1. I have a question/request. I have a few users that use the same account on multiple devices, such as me and several others. But they have multiple emails. Would it be possible to have the ability to add more than one email account so the email notifications can go to someone without a Plex account?  
  
  
Are you going to add the ability to see deeper into some of the stats? Such as the data behind max users connected. I would love to know; who, when, what were they watching, how long did they all remain connected, etc.   
  
  
I plan on running. Stress test on my server and want to have this data. Right now I have hit 7 users but want to see what it can really handle

There is going to be a timeline graph coming soon that will display each video watch on a time line to you can see all the overlapping watches.  
  
Also I can certainly add support for multiple emails.

OK sounds good. I see there was a new release of pms. It has “secret” API changes. I will investigate.

Found a way to get the IP address of the client without the log file. I will implement the change in the next patch. Also, I can tell who is browsing your server. I am going to remove the log parsing.
