This looks really really amazing. I can't believe the volume of work you already did (via the screenshots) and the documentation in codeplex and you haven't even released the alpha yet. You sir are a perfectionist, and I would be more than happy to donate for this goal! Create a PayPal donation link ASAP!
Quick question, and I'm sorry if you covered this. Would it be possible to receive a notification when a shared item has been played via a friend?

Haha thanks! if you go to https://plexnotify.codeplex.com/ there is a donate button on that page, I really appreciate it, considering you dont have the software yet lol. My goal is to have the code fully documented for release so people can create plugins if they would like. The plugin API is going to get big, and it will be able to do a lot with it once final release comes around.
A question about your question, A. is "a friend" someone who is a friend on Plex.tv? or B. would it be defined in the application, so you can select the users you want to receive notifications about?
I don't know is A is possible, but B definitely is.

Thanks! I updated code plex with the final settings screen. There may be a few more changes.
I am adding a plugins page in the settings that will hold the settings for plugins. The database will house plugin settings. I also have to add the ability to change the primary plex notify install in the advanced settings. I already have the helper methods for this I just have to implement it into the gui.
Thank you guys for your support. I'm happy to hear that people are excited for what I'm doing. I can't wait to share Plex Notify with you guys and get input on it to make it a good as possible. I hope to make Plex Notify a huge success and support it as long as it's viable.
I wish it didn't. But if you look at https://plex.tv/subscription/about the "Multi-user control" feature is needed. It opens the sessions page Web api on your plex media server so Plex Notify can see what's being viewed.
I have plans to do this through the log files in the future so plex pass is not required. There is no eta on this though.
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I can’t thank you enough for creating this. I’m a general contractor and have very little experience with this kind of stuff (I was unsuccessful installing plex watch) but I really enjoy being able to share content with my family.
Sharing content with your family is already in place through the main Plex branche. Specifically, MyPlex. This has nothing to do with that.. Or did you mean something else?
Just another thought, JB;
How about migrating from PlexWatch? ;) That doesn't have to be implemented just yet, but it would be nice (if this product proves to be better then PlexWatch) that we could import a PlexWatch database into this :)
I finalized the Statistics interface and its working swimmingly. I have to add a few helper pages for viewing movie details and the users audit trails on a video (will display all stop/pause/resume events)
All statistic plugins will show up on the left side. The plugin will be passed the videos filtered by the date selectors on this page (by default the last 30 days). The Database Helper class also has tons of helper methods to get video/user information. The class is Undocumented at the moment, but in the source code. See https://plexnotify.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest
I am using the interface to build all stats pages that are included in Plex Notify. I started with these basic stats. The source for this page is checked in as of now.
Edit: I should also mention that all statistics pages get updated LIVE. The nubers will update as Plex Notify sees them. No refreshing required.

My database has the ability to re-create the entire watch event from plex, but looking at the source of PlexWatch it does not look like it keeps enough to re-create the entire thing. Here is an example of the XML that Plex displays http://pastebin.com/3zi43Gha. I deserialize that (see https://plexnotify.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Code) and store enough information in my database to re-create the entire thing and pass it around plex notify. Also, in my deserialized version I have the audit trail in the database also will all of the play/stop/pause/resume events on every movie played.
Sorry guys no plans for a mac version. There are a lot of factors that keep me from doing this. Like I don't own a mac and I have never developed on a mac. It would be very expensive and difficult to recreate on a mac. If mac has a compatability layer like Linux's wine you might be able to run it.
