Awesome. &nbsp;Is it possible to have:

1. Rules based on Sections. &nbsp;In cases where I only want to notify people about new movies and not new tv shows etc.
2. Rules based on matching titles. &nbsp;In case I want to only notify certain users when their favorite movie in theater is available on Plex. &nbsp;or when a new episode of their favorite TV show is available.

Thanks so much. &nbsp;

In the meantime just clear your database and you can start collecting data with Plex Notify if you want and when I release the next update, you can import it then

I have the offline check for PMS enabled, so I get notifications whenever PMS becomes unreachable. It would be great to implement a "PMS is back online" notification as well. At the moment I´m relying on other monitoring services to tell me wether the PMS is reachable but that's only from the WAN side.&nbsp;

You might have already answered this but would like to ask again. Do you have a time table on when you believe this app will launch? I need to purchase the Pushover app to continue receiving notifications. Would rather spend my money on a native app if not too far out. I appreciate all your efforts. Thanks.

I would use Pushbullet. It has no limit on number of notifications.&nbsp;

Its pretty far. a few months a least.

First let me say "Great App" wish it ran on Linux, but besides that very cool.

I am on 0.104 and having an issue that was reported back around page 72. &nbsp; If I have one server that I monitor it appears that the logs work great. &nbsp; However if I add more than one server I keep getting multiple play and stop messages in my log. &nbsp; This appears to only happen with more than one server. &nbsp;

Here is a screenshot. &nbsp;I have only started watching this. &nbsp;Never paused or stopped during this:

Running on Windows 2012 server and the web server won't start. &nbsp; Just thought I would report the resolution so the docs could be updated, and people could search :).

Error messages: &nbsp;

Failed to Register URL .... Error description: Access is denied (0x80070005)

Unable to start iisexpress

In order to add the IISExpress setting for the web port you have to have elevated permissions. &nbsp;The error and the success are below in the screen shot.

Here is the command you need to run from an administrative CMD prompt.

netsh http add urlacl url=http://\*:8082/ user=everyone

&nbsp;

After this you can enable Web from the plex notify client.

&nbsp;

Here is the screen shot:

Thanks for the report. The notification system is currently being completely overhauled I will take this into consideration and do more testing on multiple PMS.&nbsp;

> Dumb question, how do i set the window location of notifications on multiple screens again?

I have the code for this in that release but it crashes plex notify. It is on my ToDo list to finish it and fix the bugs with it.

If you need someone to test I can throw a pre release copy up somewhere. &nbsp; &nbsp;Just let me know.

RSS Feed options. &nbsp; So I have the RSS feed working now, however it doesn't add an entry for new items. &nbsp; Is there anyway to get this support? &nbsp;&nbsp;

Also it would be great to be able to have multiple RSS feeds. &nbsp;One just for additions (What about deletions? &nbsp;Anyway to get notified on that?) &nbsp; And another for the watched info...
