Here's a fun one. Without any other updates, the transition from .107 to alpha .111 now fails to start plex notify. I've tried deleting the programdata\Plex Notify folder and I still get the same error. I've confirmed that I have .net 4.5.2 installed via the registry and Sql Server CE is also installed. Every time I run the launcher I get this message.   ![omvYw4e.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/omvYw4e.jpg) With this error log [http://pastebin.com/3kRVfhqk](http://pastebin.com/3kRVfhqk) Also this happens in my default browser chrome ![JJRiy37.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/JJRiy37.jpg) Note the "does not fall within the expected range" Everything was working perfectly using .107. Don't know what happened but would like to figure it out. ---

For those using postman for beta 1 I will also update this when there is an API change. It will import all the Plex Notify API calls for you. Postman Collection: http://www.plexnotify.com/Releases/api/PlexNotify.json.postman\_collection.zip   Import this by opening postman and switching from the History tab to the Collections tab. Click the import button. ---

Anyone not have a plexpass account and has the latest PMS 0.9.11.4 Check if you can use Plex Notify. I think they changed the latest version to not require plexpass for accessing their now playing API. If someone could check that for me it would be great. ---
