Agree, sad thing is the code already exist to do this, since when you kill a stream you can send a message, no reason why we shouldnt be able to just send a message to a “streamId” w/out killing it. I would think it would me a minor enhancement to make the api endpoint.

Would also like to see this. I’d be ok with just a static message of the day, but custom push notifications also seems like a great idea.
For the MOTD, I recently disabled video transcoding (thanks for adding it) and like the idea of a MOTD to alert users to it and act as a reminder until everyone’s used changing their settings. When I have planned outages, being able to show people a message would also be great.

This function has MY vote.
Being able to communicate downtime, maintenance, new libraries. I could announce my seasonal libraries, like a Halloween collection, or Christmas collections… or even ask for donations for more HD space would be nice.
Just sayin’…
Make it happen, Plex… quit pissin’ around.

Excellente idée ! Pourquoi n’est elle toujours pas mis en place ?
On peut voir la chose autrement : Une sorte de “message du jour” sur l’accueil de Plex pour les utilisateurs. S’affiche au dessus de la liste des films.

i add myself to the request, it would be very nice to send a message through plex instead to take a phone and message all the ppl online etc… please implement it.
Thanks

Wow this feature was requested almost 8 years ago and has 506 comments and 604 votes. Surely this very simple functionality could be implemented by the very talented Plex dev team in no time?!

Every so often I come to look to see where this thread is…seems like a fairly easy thing to add to the banner of the home page, just like we see with new updates. It would be of so much use so my family gets a heads up easy when I want to schedule things instead of having to use a different external to the server process.

I agree, why stop play to give a message , just send an alert message that one can read then dismiss off the screen once read.

Idea perfecta, aparte de comunicar los mantenimientos estaría bueno para recomendar peliculas series etc etc, es decir tener un apego mayor a los usuarios administrados +1

I love Plex, the dev team does a great job overall, but I’m a bit astonished that this hasn’t been implemented when it’s been heavily requested for 8 years!
Pleaseeeeee, give us this! 🙏🏻

Even just a bar that shows up on the home screen of all server users that the sever admin could update anytime they want.
