Would pushover support not make mobile notifications easy to implement? I'm using it with PlexWatch, works very well and not that hard to setup.
Certainly I found a great open source solution for this https://github.com/kobowi/pushover-dotnet. I can add this with no problems!
Is there/will there be any chance of your Android app to communicate with the PMS directly? That is, is there somesort of API that the app could use to cue commands to the PMS?

The current android application plan is for it to act like another install of Plex Notify. With all the features of the desktop software, that communicate with a centralized database. The app will not actively monitor Plex, but it will monitor the database.
What sort of features where you looking for in an android app?
This looks awesome and am really looking forward to trying it. Are there any plans for it to be available on the command line Linux? I currently have PMS on Unraid and Plexwatch on Raspberry Pi as it is so cheap to run. Thanks for putting the time into this

Thanks! This unfortunately will not be compatible with Linux. You can monitor your plex server from a remote windows machine with this, but not on the linux server itself.
you may be able to run it with Mono.
Thanks for the reply. No worries. Win(dows?) some you loose some. Excuse to setup a Windows VM.

It is windows only app. it works with the HTTP status page (plex pass required), and /or log files. If the log files are on another computer it can access them with a mapped drive or network share. Where this app with be aimed is Useability and Satistics/Data Anlysis and the Display of that data in a beautiful GUI. This will be a kind of different strokes for different folks application. Plex watch and plex watch web are great, I use them. This will be for dataphiles like myself who like to see numbers and tons of statistics on things.
I am going to have the project open source upon the first release. Along with database documentation.
I have servers where I will host the auto updates for the official Application. The application will come with an installer that out of the box will work with your local install of plex without any additional setup. (remote servers will have to be setup).
I can certainly write a good looking front end for plexWatch config.pl, id be happy to contribute =)
This looks amazing. It's a shame that it's Windows only. I'm also a dataphile and would love to see more in the way of numbers and stats.
We would all welcome your input on plexWatch (which is awesome!).
Very impressed - Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Im going to post another screenshot update later tonight (1 week in development mark). I wish I know linux and mac enough to make the app compatible for them too. Maybe after i'm done with this one I will move to make it on other platforms. The only reason I chose to make it a windows app is because its what I am most familiar with.
As far as PlexWatch goes, I have been using for a few months, and I love it. I have pushover on my phone that gets the notifications from PlexWatch (I have a linux install of Plex Media Server). My server is also Ubuntu server 12 so it has no GUI.
That being said, I started Plex notify as an alternate way for users to get these features without any technical knowledge. Plus as a desktop app vs. PlexWatch script, The features of this application can be more robust.
This app wont be for everyone because its not compatible with mac or linux. That's where PlexWatch/Web shine because they are compatible with all platforms via the web.

I know you're focusing on stats and information, and that's plenty awesome for now, but on the wishlist for the app there would be a couple of actions that I don't see the PMS/offical Plex App for Android supporting any soon, and I might as well blur them out here for consideration and possible future roadmap :)
Remotely killing and restarting the PMS
Remotely shutting down/restarting the host machine
Remotely killing live transcoding sessions (just killing the .exe would do)
Monitoring resource usage (CPU, RAM, HDD I/O)
Monitoring bandwidth usage (Upload stream would be enough)
Notifications when more then one stream is played per user/IP
Notifications when streaming is outside of certain IP range (to detect foreign traffic when users are abroad)
Notifications of multiple failed logins (Perhaps only visible on plex servers side?)
The ability to remotely kill shared access (possibly by editing/disabling FW rules, dont know if this is achievable)
The ability to send notifications via email through the App to users
.. and probably more to come.
But this is probably a project of it's own, or at least quite down the road.

This is definitely possible, I would have to look into the technical limitations but I can do it to windows boxes for sure. I have to look into Linux and mac. I will add them to github. Also anyone can feel free to add feature requests to there.
JB, are you doing this on your own? Cause there's a lot on your plate already.. Wondering how this is gonna work out...
(NOT volunteering btw ;) )

Yah I am the only one working on the desktop application. I have someone else doing the android app. As far as the desktop app is concerned there's tons of libraries to help move things along. I have a lot of the core stuff done. I actually spend a lot of time on UI and usability. I have been writing interfaces/a plugin core as I go too so people can easily make plugins. I'll be getting the basic statistics done this coming week and I should be on point for the milestones I set in github.
It's a lot of coding but I love doing it and I'm going to make the application as good as possible.
Please let me know if you need my help. I'm no coding/php/programming wizard, but I'm pretty strong in the networking/OS part.
I can also provide you with an external testing machine (VM) if there's any need for that. Or webhosting. And end-user testing offcourse! Stuff like that.
So, actually, I AM volunteering. I just love the sound of this project so much :)
Ok so originally I was only parsing the Status page for what I needed and i decided to just gather everything in case of future enhancements, users would have all the data so they could take advantage of the new features with data they have been gathering from the beginning. I am having a problem with RestSharp. I posted the problem here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21189767/restsharp-returning-myobject-as-null-when-deserializing-xml
If anyone has any idea what the heck could be going wrong with this the help is appreciated.

Solved. I was stuck on that. I ended up generating the status objects through xsd of status page and that worked.
Hey everyone here is a quick settings GUI update! Also all passwords saved are encrypted.
I have a stupid question.
I use Prowl for notifications on my iOS devices.
Will this work with this or Growl is a complete different thing?

https://www.prowlapp.com/installation.php looks like you might have to relay it Through a desktop. BUTTTTTTT
Pushover can directly to your phone. The API for Prowl is the same as Growl. All i have to add is a text box for your prowl key and some very minor back-end stuff. I will add it to growl settings =)
NICE!
Thank you so much
Apps like sickbeard and couchpotato have both as well. Really cool the option will be in this one as well.
