I just saw the notice about push notifications. I’m running Version 1.16.0.1226, but I’m not seeing the option to turn it on and try it out. Am I missing the option somewhere???

Restart your Plex server (the process, not the whole PC). I did that and the option showed up.

I’m a bit confused. What are these notifications for, or more importantly, who are they for? Seriously, no joke. Are they all for the admin of the server?

I suppose there are a couple of useful ones for server admins… Database Corruption and Database Backup (and possibly New Devices) New Content is probably more useful to Shared users than admins, although could be useful for those where content is automatically added. Not sure about On Deck notifi…

I like the corruption part but not the backup. I don’t need it to tell me that a backup was made because I know backups are made(every three days if I’m not mistaken). Though, failure to create a backup. That would be a useful notification! New content, maybe… Still… May not be all that useful if n…

So are these notifications settings exclusive to the server owner or is this a team effort. Meaning the owner must enable and shared users must enable. Cause looking at a few of these post saying 100 notifications is crazy. I sure wouldn’t want to spam my family and friends with dozens(or 100’s) of…

It has to be enabled on the server and then shared users must enable on their device and then select what notifications they want. Knowing my few shared users (and their somewhat limited tech capabilities) I have to doubt many (if any) of them will actually bother. And yep 100’s of notifications t…

[image] blim5001: It did it once when I first enabled notifications and then this morning I got another mass notification Can you tell us what type they were? Were they all about new content or was it all types from new content to users with new devices to others?? I also wonder if Plex wil…

I have deleted them now, so not sure, there were certainly new content notifications, but did not look in detail, so there could have been others. (although I have notifications for on deck and playback turned off) But I do recall seeing at least some were for content that was not ‘new’ And yes I …

[image] blim5001: over 600 notifications… Your family/friends will hate/block you, lol! Though… Now I wonder if notifications will be pushed if libraries are excluded of dashboard. In the case in point Plex for Roku 6.3.5.5679 HOME not working If the notifications are tied to libraries and …

[image] NewPlaza: notifications of new p.0.r.n content. :rofl: You can specify the libraries which to get notifications from on your device (and shared users can only select the libraries they have been granted access to) But all libraries (you have access to) are selected by default… I ca…

So I just tried adding 8 episodes of a show, and got 1 notification that 8 new Episodes had been added.

Probably, which is only a small fraction of the user base.
