Plex Notify

benplace · May 23, 2014, 8:48pm

I have been using your app basically to get alerts on my home plex server when users play something. Now I want to use it remotely and have it send alerts to pushover. I tried first turning on the webserver and I am getting the system cannot find the path specified error. I setup pushover and hit test and I get the remote server returned an error bad request 400.

I found these issues both posted here recently with no resolution. Any ideas?

Ensure you have no special characters in your notification messages and verify your API key is correct.

I copied and pasted the key several times, and my notification message is {UserName} is watching {Video} on server {PMS}.

OK here is what I am actually trying to do, maybe there is a easier way.

I have the Phillips Hue system and I want the lights to auto dim when I start playing anything on plex. When I pause I want the lights to come back on and resume dim again.

I think I can do this with Pushover and an ifttt recipe if I could get pushover to work.

Alpha v0.0.0.80

- Added Pushbullet

- Fixed crash where informational messages could be clicked.

- Fixed crash where closing some notifications would cause Plex Notify to crash.

I just added Pushbullet: https://ifttt.com/pushbullet

Hello,
A big thank you for your application, I would like to know if it will be possible to get a notification when new media is added.
I would also like to know if it was possible to send a http request for each pause or playback media for a specific user (in order to incorporate it into my home automation)
Thank you for your answers!

I will have recently added done tomorrow.

At the moment there is nothing planned for pause or resume playback. All ideas are welcome though.

Excellent!

For a http request, just a field available in the application to a specific user. But I am aware that my application is very specific. Or can be used a notification service already available and articulate it with a http request .. I need to think about.

An integration with Twitter is it also possible?

I love this app!

Got it working again. I went into programs and features to uninstall and re-install, and it gave me an option to restore the application to its previous state.
Not sure what it did, but it's up and running.

First off, awesome work on this. It's exactly what I was looking for!

I haven't read this entire thread, so I apologize if this has been answered, but is the web server working? I get the following error when trying to access the web interface:
