Plexamp: How to disable notification popup when player advances to a new track - Windows 7

Plex Labs

I did not know that Plexamp existed until a nice little marketing email from Plex hit my inbox this past weekend. I must have missed the initial release of this Plex Labs release last year. I, too, used to use Winamp exclusively back in the day. At some point, I switched to Media Monkey. But this little guy - Plexamp - I LOVE IT!!!

I’m running it on Windows 10 without any problems, but when I installed it on Windows 7 (my work environment) it’s a little different. Nothing huge, but every time a new track is played/advanced, an annoying Windows notification pops up (see attached). I’ve tried to remove the notification in Windows, but to no avail. And I did not see any setting in Plexamp that would curtail this annoying little flyout. Is there any way to get rid of this annoyance?

Getting a flyout/notification every track gets old really quick.

Hey @emw107, thanks so much!

It’s easy to disable, find the config.json file and make sure there’s an entry like:

"ui": {
    "notifications": false
   ...
}

Sorry there’s no way in the UI for now :sweat_smile:

Elan,

You are awesome. Thanks so much for that QUICK feedback. Adding that entry to the config.json worked like a charm. Now back to the music - without notifications between tracks!

I have an AppImage of PlexAmp on Linux and don’t seem to have a config.json. Do I need to make one in my home directory? If so, where? Is there another way to turn off notifications with the AppImage version of PlexAmp?

The config.json file is located in ~/.config/Plexamp/
