Notifying Plex - Error Message

Help & Support
1

For some reason, when testing the Plex notification, I get the following error message;

Failed to get response from: http://localhost:32400/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(Notification(Test Notification, Success! Notifications are setup correctly)) The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Any ideas where I’ve gone wrong?

Use the XBMC notification and change the port (not sure which is the correct port for it), plex changed the way the notifications with with their newer front end.

This is something we’ll be looking at correcting in the future though: https://trello.com/c/kpV0UgNS/649-plex-home-theatre-notifications

Thanks for the pointer. I gave it a try and got a similar message;

Failed to get response from: http://localhost:32400/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(Notification(Test Notification, Success! Notifications are setup correctly)) The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Thoughts?

Looks like you’re using the wrong port: http://forums.nzbdrone.com/t/plex-home-theater-client-not-receiving-nzbdrone-notifications/847

Unless he’s trying to use the notification to trigger a library update with PMS (what I do), then 32400 is definitely the port (as long as it is on localhost), as it can only be changed externally IIRC. Could also try 0.0.0.0 as the local IP, no?

0.0.0.0 is a binding IP, which allows the server to bind to all IPs. You use localhost or 127.0.0.1 to connect to something running on localhost.

Port 32400 is no longer used in Plex Home Theatre, the correct port is now 3005. If 32400 is working for you its because you’re on the old client.

Sorry if I didn’t explain fully… I’m not using the notification for Plex Home Theater. I’m using it for Plex Media Center to update my library, and it works quite well. I didn’t know if the OP was trying to do the same thing, or doing Plex Home Theater.

Ended up being a bit of a school boy error :frowning: I was settling PHT rather than PMS. Now set as the correct one, it’s working perfectly.

Apologies for any time wasted, but thanks for all the help! :smiley:
