plexivity - similar to plexWatch & plexWatchWeb

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Up front, I am not the developer.  I was just really surprised I have never heard of this before, and thought I'd share.  (I searched the forums but I only saw a few non-English threads and one thread that had a reference to it buried pretty deep).

 

It is an app very similar to plexWatch and plexWatchWeb (in fact, from the screenshots, it almost looks like the design was borrowed as well).  It has a dependency upon flask, which I've never used, so I haven't tried installing it yet.  Was curious if anyone here has tried it!

It seems exactly the same as plewwatch.

Do you understand differencies?

It's Python based. PlexWatchWeb uses PHP.

But for end user, do you think there is any difference?

Python apps are generally easier to deploy as there is no need to install web servers, php, etc.

Ah, ok.

So, if i already setted up plexwatch, i don't need to use this?

It looks like a port of the web interface.

Everytime i close putty down, plexivity is closing down and I can´t use the webinterface anymore. How do i get plexivity to keep running in python?

What platform?  If Ubuntu, you could use upstart.

It´s Ubuntu. I see if I can find a guide for using upstart, but if you like, you can guide me;-) Thank you.

I run into the same thing with PuTTY sessions and Maraschino.  Use a terminal window like from WinSCP instead.  WinSCP will report an error after it times out, but the .py script continues to run afterwards.

PuTTY will actually close the execution of the script when the session closes.

Something like this should be helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17747605/daemon-vs-upstart-for-python-script

The other option is to run a 'screen' session.  Disconnect from the session when you end your putty session, and it will continue within screen.

@Mike

I did like you said and it works. Even when I close WinSCP, it continues to run the script. Thank you very much. :)

use:

python manage.py runserver -p 12345 -h 0.0.0.0 &

note the & 

this will start it in the background.

Anyone else here having issues with plexivity after the newest version 0.9.5-5 from https://cytec.us/spk/ ?

I get the following error when trying to open the webpage/url (http://IP:6060/): 

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

It was working without issues, when running version 0.9.4.3 (please see this thread for reference).

I have attached some log files from plexivity.

Any help is much appreciated :)

P.S. Does anyone know what name the creator of this awesome application uses in the Plex forums, so I could "ping" him?

Thank you.

looks nice!

Just a FYI

I tried updating to DSM5.2 and afterwards to plexivity 0.9.5-6.

I get the same error as mentioned before(and in logs) :(

Anyone managed to get this working on CentOS 7 with systemd? I tried, but it keeps crashing for me.

I tried something like this:

[Unit]

Description=Plexivity
After=network.target
 
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/plexivity
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /opt/plexivity/manage.py runserver -p 12345 -h 0.0.0.0 &
GuessMainPID=no
Type=forking

[Install]

Just found this website, perhaps it will help.

Had no problems getting it up and running on my DS1513+ but it seems to record many entries each time I play something:

Anybody have this problem, or is it supposed to do that?
