A five year old thread asking for this feature? Iā€™m guessing weā€™ll never see it at this point but Iā€™ll add my vote.

You can always hope :slight_smile:

Has anyone seen the latest updates for plex web. If you stop a playback you can send a message to who ever is playing.

265

would love for this feature to be added to PLEX. I share my library with several friends, and I want to be able to setup a notification or Message Of The Day (MOTD) that is displayed for users when they access my library to let them know about scheduled maintenance that I have setup to run(Unraid Parity check that is scheduled to happen starting at 1 AM every Sunday morning). I donā€™t know if running that causes any issues, but wanted to warn about it just to be safe.

This would be an awesome feature. I share my server with a ton of family, would be nice to let them know when I bring it down for maintenance.

267

Agreed, sending a short text message from the server to clients would be a useful capability.

268

I know this is an OLD request and I guess its not high on anyoneā€™s listā€¦ However from an OLD lifetime subscriber
of PLEX. I have wanted this from the beginning . I would really like to be able to send a quick 1 line message letting the
person watching that an update is about to happen, or that repairs are being done and the server will be up soon.

Crossing the fingersā€¦ :smiley:
Loving the Plex for many years

270

271

This can already be done by the kill off a connection messages, you can send a message to the user that way.

272

please we need to send message to usersā€¦

273

Yes, please add this feature ASAPā€¦

274

If they can do this feature in MythTV surely to god its simple to add to Plex?

+1 from me in the hope of sensibility adding this feature!

275

To keep it going.

276

Count me in!

277

Yes. Itā€™d be a great tool.

278

+1 ā€“ theyā€™ve got the backend, now expose the implementation without having to cancel out streams~

279

Need this badly. Internet went out for a week and want to pop clients a message that itā€™s back up. Many more use cases that I love this for any as well.
