dbowles1975 25 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was using Pushover to send notifications when users would stop or start video. It worked fine from the web or from mobile devices. It would NOT work from a Fire Stick or Fire TV. I thought it might be Pushover so I removed it and installed Pushbullet. It does the EXACT same thing. Here's what I've done (with Pushbullet and Pushover): 1. Started a video from my phone - immediate notification. 2. Started a video from Chrome - immediate notification. 3. Started a video from the Fire TV in the living room - no notification. 4. Started a video from the Fire TV in the bedroom - no notification. 5. Had a family member start a video from their Fire Stick - no notification. I was logged in as the same user for all five tests. I also tried logging in manually and through Connect. Didn't matter. Can anyone confirm they are receiving playback notifications through Pushover or Pushbullet on a Fire device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14919 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yes I do. Then it almost has to be something with the plug-in. Are there any options in it to limit the devices or apps it watches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. @@dbowles1975, have you tried bouncing the box? When my notifications stop working, a server restart fixes it. Granted, I do this when notifications aren't working at all, but might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37091 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Unfortunately we can't verify you've setup those plugins correctly so other users should not take much stock in it until that has happened. For example, the email plugin has certain restrictions with the kinds of domains that it will work with. Or rather, it will work with just about anything, but certain domains will require additional steps in order to work. Things of that nature.

If one of your users starts playing media from a Fire TV device you receive a notification? Pushover? Pushbullet? Email? Notify My Android? I have set up all four and I get no notifications for media playback. I do get these notifications if I play media from the web app or from my phone. With NuVue I do get notifications when media is played from Fire TV devices. All four plug-ins work just fine for all other notifications and playback sessions so show up in the dashboard.

dbowles1975 25 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Something doesn't make sense. Notifications work if I start an episode from my phone. This tells me that both the server and the Pushover plug-in are configured correctly. There are no settings specific to the Fire TV. You tell the server which service to use for which notifications and for which users then you tell the plug-in your Pushover auth key and user key (and device if you want notifications sent only to certain devices). That's it. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
