First-watch movie alerts for a Plex home server
A better habit may need an automatic alert when a movie is watched for the first time. The current home media setup uses Plex, Radarr, and Tautulli. Possible alert targets include Discord and Pushover.
Tautulli already has notification agents, but there is no obvious condition for sending an alert only on a first watch. The real problem is detecting a new Plex watch event while out repeat watches.
