A popup message that could be shown before every movie, or just at logon, would be great.
I love this idea, In the very least add the ability to post a āwelcome messageā. I would like to be able to say: āThe server will go down for maintenance on 1/1/2020ā or āIf there are errors in the listings please email me @ā or " Check out our new videos" etc.
Iām new to Plex and I AM a premium customer. I donāt know if this is possible already. If it is please tell me how

Itās not. We are still waiting for such a feature. What I do sometimes is create a library and call it [Maintenance on xx/xx/xxxx] and share with all family and friends. This is not idea but I donāt want to have to email dozens of people to let them know.
We are all flogging a dead horse hereā¦
No??
LOL

Oh yeahā¦
This would be awesome! I have 15 friends that stream from my server and 6 in house clients. It would be nice to put out a note and say āat xx:xx time, I will be rebooting the Plex server for serviceā and so on.

I hope it isnāt bad form to plug a third-party solution for this that already exists (mods, feel free to delete this post if it is), but my Android companion app, nuVue, just added this functionality about a month ago. In addition to new media notifications, which is what it was originally created for, you can send messages to both users that you share you libraries with and server owners that share their libraries with you. If they also use nuVue, the message will be delivered in-app. If they donāt, it will be sent via email to the address used to register their Plex account. You can check out the app here: http://nuvueapp.com, and read more about the new shared library features here: http://nuvueapp.com/blog/wait-no-more/. Iām all for this being implemented in Plex-proper. But in the meantime, see a need, fill a need.Itās been nearly two years since I plugged my companion appās implementation of this feature, so I think itās safe to do it again without feeling like Iām taking advantage of this thread. If Plex wonāt add this, then consider supporting your friendly neighborhood indie app developer to get the messaging you crave. (Yes, itās still Android-only. Sorry iOS users.)
[end shameless promotion]
And another year has gone by without this being implemented in Plex-proper. Time for me to drop another mention that Android users have an option to get this and more with nuVue.

Then again, a waist less app to be installed to consume even more space on a device, letās stop for a moment and ask why canāt we just text our fellow Plex Mobile phones then instead of asking plex over 7 yrs to implement this already.
Sry, didnāt want to come out rude if I was but comān. Screw both android n iOS n think people. Just a txt of a phone.
Ps. Or Skype group for Plex users, Iāve been in 5 way group conversations all the time.
Psps, just stating my opinion on the matter and nothing else.
i canāt even. Going searching for the unsubscribe button, this poor thread is just thrashing on the floorā¦
+1 for me tooā¦ it would be nice a on screen message to let user know of either an emergency maintenance is requiredā¦ like either a reboot to the server, or due to router issues like mentioned earlierā¦ This would be really a nice feature.
I would also like to see something like this. Should be a mechanism to send some sort of on-screen notification.

Would love to let my users know that I have added a requests channel.
Ok, throwing my hope on this. I donāt have a lot of people accessing, but do have 3 kids who access it from their places and my brother does too. I would love to be able to send all users a maintenance message that Iām going to work on the server and/or reboot it. The other thing is one of the biggest things I miss about Kodi/OpenElec is that I had it so it would pop up a message when something is fetched or downloaded.
best idea!!
Release this feature please!
How has this still not been implemented yet? Insane.
@Wazza85
I agree with you. This post was started in 2012, It has a WHOPPING 1396 likes and its 19 pages long and it has not been added as of Feb 2018? WOW. Is this a case that Apple says we donāt need it so we donāt get it no matter how many want it??

This would be great for servers with users accessing outside the local network. Fantastic idea.
