Did you try going into settings and re-entering your plex account information?&nbsp;

I installed the program today and am struggling to get it up and running. I have it connected to My Plex and added my Plex server info but am not seeing any active movies in the statistics page while testing it out. My log shows that it added movies to "recently added" but nothing else. The one thing I noticed was that when I bring up the settings page my server info is no longer populated and have to select my server from the drop down menu. I'm not sure if this means it was already added and is blank for me to add a second server though. Am I glossing over a portion of the setup process?

Rock Star, This is working well for me great idea!

A couple of things : trying to use the Web UI (I have installed IIS Express) but it says unable to start IIS Express then Data is Invalid. I'm using x64.

also is there a specific way to run it as a service or should I just use firedaemon?

Thanks

Yeah that has been a long standing bug in alpha. It only enables RSS.

I am happy to announce that on December 25th 2014 I will release Beta 1 of Plex Notify.This will include a new Plex Notify website. The codeplex site will be brought down.

- Complete Redesign and rework of all code.
- The installer has the option of installing The Plex Notify Service and/or The Plex Notify Desktop UI.
- Removed Clickonce deployment for full installer and auto updates.

  
  
Beta 1 of Plex Notify aims to be more stable and to give users more control over their notifications. It also gives a easy to use API for both Web Developers and C#. The database for Plex Notify has changed to MongoDB.  
  
  
UI features are all the same of the previous UI with the addition of Email Configuration and Email editing.  
  
  
Service Features:
- Plex Notify now supports ALL media types from the plex server.
- Full API including the following
  - Plex Notify now functions as a framework. I use all the interfaces for all plugins that come with Plex Notify. There are no more “Built-In” plugins.
  - Full API documentation with examples will be provided on the new website. The plugins that come with Plex Notify can also be used as an example.
  - C# plugin:
    - Notification Provider - A notification provider is a service such as Pushover and Pushalot.
    - The Providers that come with Plex Notify are:
    - Growl
    - Prowl
    - Pushalot
    - Pushover
    - PushBullet
    - Email
    - Executable (you can specify a executable, batch or script file to run)
    - TCP Push
    - Websocket Push (Note: TCP and websocket push send XML messages of the notification)

  - Notification Rule - Notification rule is a rule that must be met in order for the Notification to be sent.
    - The Notification Rules that come with Plex Notify are:
    - Only Selected users
    - Progress %
    - Exclude Users
    - Time of Day
    - Media Name (episode name or movie name for example)
    - Parent name (for things such as episodes you can specify show name or for audio album name)

  - Notification Status - Serves as the trigger for the notification
    - The Notification Status that come with Plex Notify are:
    - Playing
    - Paused
    - Buffering
    - Stopped
    - Resume From Stop
    - Resume From Pause
    - Resume From Buffering
    - Progress %

- Web GET API:
  - Through the web API you can get scores of data and statistics. Here are some examples:
  - GetAllUsers
  - GetAllPlayers
  - GetForUser ([Movies, episodes, audio, photo], userName)
  - GetForPlayer ([Movies, episodes, audio, photo], playerID)
  - GetTop ([Movies, episodes, audio, photo], intX) (x can be 10 for top 10)
  - GetTotalTime ([Movies, episodes, audio], mediaName) - get the total time for that media type (a number of total time interfaces exist like overall total time and by user for example)
  - GetUser
  - GetVideo
  - GetAudio
  - GetPhoto
  - GetNowPlaying
  - GetTranscodeSession - transode session stores all status states that the media has been through ex. from playing to paused to playing to stopped. This includes their view offsets.
  - GetMediaTimeline - gets all media between 2 datetimes. (can focus user/player)

- TCP Push 
- Websocket Push

  
  
A couple months ago I put out a blog post the new Triggered Notifications. The old style of switches for enabling and disabling notifications are gone. Now there is a workflow for creating a notification.
- Pick your Trigger. (see notification status above)
- Set the rules of the notification.
- Set what providers to send the notification out on.

  
In addition you can set any triggered notifications to enabled or disabled and you can have any amount of triggered notifications.  
  
  
Right now I do not have a website included as I quickly found out, I am not a web developer. But I did include the API for someone to do it if they felt so inclined.  
  
Also, It will be a while after release before I have a tool ready to import The old Plex Notify database or Plex Watch.

Yep email will allow you to send to users.

That's really cool. Will you be able to select what information each email gets? and no option for a feed? I'm guessing as often my library updates to some people it would be considered spam.

Yes you can setup multiple triggers, one for each email. I will include a RSS feed.  
  
Also there is no webserver built in at the moment.

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on Plex Notify. &nbsp;It is a must have if you are running a Plex server. &nbsp;I donated a few bucks the other day, so thank you and keep up the good work!!

I do have one question about the upcoming Beta. &nbsp;You said you are moving the MongoDB. &nbsp;Will we lose existing stats upon installation or will they roll over into the new version?
