Hey JBurlison, I'm having trouble getting the application to lauch. It installs fine but when I open the program shortcut from the desktop or start menu it comes up with a box saying "verifying application requirements" which goes away after a few seconds and nothing else happens. I've checked task manager & it's not running in the background. I'm running Windows 8.1, Have .net 4.5 as it's installed with win 8.1 and PMS 0.9.9.12,  Any suggestions? Thanks! **Update: It's ok I got it working after repairing the windows store and re-installing .net 3.5. Thanks for all your hard work. It's exactly what I was looking for!** ---

Hello there,    I use PlexNotify complement EvenGhost to manage Home automation scripts via notifications to Growl.    Everything works fine except that I noticed a difference in syntax between the Growl notification sent, but I do not know how to explain. (is what it is linked to the user name or nickname that can be assigned)    Exemple : Main.GrowlForwarder.PlexNotify.Playing (u"On regarde Les Aventures de Tintin - S01, E01: Le Crabe aux Pinces d'Or (1941).", u"On is watching Les Aventures de Tintin - S01, E01: Le Crabe aux Pinces d'Or (1941) on server Local PMS.")   Main.GrowlForwarder.PlexNotify.Resumed\_FromStop (u'On regarde Arrow - S01, E01: Le Naufrag\xe9.', u'On has resumed from stop Arrow - S01, E01: Le Naufrag\xe9 on server Local PMS. (0.21% finished)')     But suddenly scripts works half the time because I can not test it in a variable (a trick?) the " or '    Think you can help me? ---

Any chance of adding formatting options to the notifications? I'm looking for something like a single option to switch to 'HTPC style notifications' so I can get that 10ft interface.  I cropped down the notifications so they just read: {UserName} is watching {Video} {UserName} has stopped watching {Video} ({Progress}% finished) Between the two images (show poster and user image) I get all the info I really need, but then I'm left with a big box with some tiny text. It's far from a high priority, but would be nice to have. In any case, thanks for the cool app. ---

In any case, thanks for the cool app. Hi sorry for the late response. I havent been able to work on Plex notify for a couple weeks. You can do this by putting (carriage return, new line) in for example: {UserName} is watching {Video} or {UserName} has stopped watching {Video} ({Progress}% finished) ---

Paid mobile apps are a good way to help fund the project. Best of luck! ---

Well spotted.. I have been toggling trailers on and off. A trailer plays and Plex Notify crashes... Disable trailers and Plex Notify stays running. Tried this several times with same results.
