The ability to select a monthly email - which (auto) populates changes made to the media server. New movies added this month, new tv shows this month and the ability to send it via an email to any user accounts with an assigned email. (A checkbox would be in the user settings to receive the update, and the library settings would have a checkbox to be included in the email)
AND/OR a pop up screen which happens when a user logins - until you select don’t show notification again on each user account selected to receive server updates. Showing the same thing as the email. I would probably prefer this more than an email - with buttons [OK][ACKNOWLEDGE] - ok showing next time, and acknowledge not showing.
This is so all users on the media server can see the updated shows and movies - the admin has put on! Sort of like Whats New for Friends and Family… I visualise a form of web page - but very basic, no or little links with some pictures and a little text what a movie is about. Limited to maybe 3 popular movies and 10 in each library. So its not excessive information but shows large juicy updates!
What would be really cool to add on to this would be the ability - to add a custom banner whilst still keeping PLEX branding but a custom banner for the media server would be so cool!! It could also be used on the interface dash as well as the email/notifications (in the paragraphs above).
I think this would be an easier thing to implement as PLEX already has something similar and even on the home screen via a web browser - it has recently added script.
Also…
please stick with 1 suggestion per thread to allow others to vote for those. Mixing up different suggestions will make it harder to find support (or force others to vote for stuff they don’t care about in order to promote a single element of your suggestion).
As for those individual items… there’s existing suggestions for many of these:
Send server messages → duplicate (in-app notifications/announcements; the OP is quite open but the subsequent thread includes various use cases including some like yours).
In addition: you can already create a collection with the items you want to emphasize on your shared user’s home screen. This can also be a smart collection e.g. based on Date Added (within the last 1, 2, 3 months) and Critic Rating or Audience Rating (> 85%) – or anything you like it to be.
I suggest you comment/vote in those threads in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes (the suggestions are appreciated though). Based on that I suppose we should close this thread as a duplicate.
Wow Tom
Here’s some unwelcome advice for you too - maybe you could mind your own business, your examples are not what I’m proposing and they are mine are all part of same thing for the PLEX team. So how about it, try minding your own business and try not being a dick on other peoples posts.
You get people who are helpful on here (they have epic suggestions and recommendations for plugins etc), then you get people like you.
So do me a favour and as your clearly have nothing good or constructive for my personal post, go bring a downer on another life sucking leech like yourself.
Look guys if your going to bombarding my post with negativity - either leave it as it is and mind your own business and stop commenting as it’s not welcome. I won’t be responding to you dragging it down again.
My request is made genuinely for the PLEX team and for others to like the idea or vote.
Or act like moderators are remove the post and I won’t bother using this again because of the moderators. I’m not obviously fused - I just go away thinking this is managed by idiots. Either do one or the other; stop commenting and drowning my request/suggestion for a feature as a PLEX user.
Closing this as a duplicate.
There’s nothing personal about it nor an intention to “drag things down”. All suggestions are welcome – we’re just doing some basic housekeeping to avoid redundant suggestions where each individual one won’t get any attention (therefore encouraging everybody to search before posting duplicate suggestions)
