Hi. I will like to be able to send a message that gets transcoded into the movie so that I can tell my users that will be shutting down the server. So if they are watching a movie, they see the message saying that the server will be shutting down for maintenance/upgrade at X time.

This would actually be really awesome, I always feel bad when somebody is watching something when I have to do server maintenance. Maybe a small banner in a corner can be overlayed with the plex logo and the text. Can even be a super lazy ‘dinners ready in 5 minutes!’ :smiley:

I am looking for this feature as well. I host almost 40 users to my PMS and trying to text call or text them is becoming quite a lengthy process now.

I would like to see this feature as well. I host about a dozen users and would like to be able to warn them if I need to shut down/restart the server. THANKS!!

That would be a cool feature +1

I also would like to send messages to either all users currently watching or I would like to send a message to one user and not all… this is a feature that alot of us would use.
