ljunkie can you add to the stopped notifications the Duration? For example: User stopped watching: title on platform after 1 hour 2 minutes.
It would be great for troubleshooting. I'll be able to easily tell if a user is keeps getting cut off from their stream.
Thanks again!
This is already part of prowl. I will see about adding it into the pushover notifications for the next update.
Long term I am going to change and hopefully make it easier to tailor the alert to the way anyone wants it. The idea is to have a default alert for all and allow anyone to change the format of the alert per providers.
I.E. default would be
%u = user
%t = title
watching: '%u watching %t'
stopped: '%u stopped %s'
There would of course be many more options like:
%d: duration
%se: season+episode
%s: season
%e: episode
etc...
The format would be per start/stop and provider.

--format_options : list all available formats for notifications and cli output--format_start="…" : modify start notification
--format_stop="…" : modify stop nottification
--format_watched="…" : modify cli output for --watched
--format_watching="…" : modify cli output for --watching
$alert_format = {
'start' => '{user} watching {title} on {platform}',
'stop' => '{user} watched {title} on {platform} for {duration}',
'watched' => '{user} watched {title} on {platform} for {duration}',
'watching' => '{user} watching {title} on {platform}'
};
Gonna test this new release and let you know. Thanks!
I noticed when i disable start notifications and but leave stop notifications enabled I get this error:
config file missing data
I noticed when i disable start notifications and but leave stop notifications enabled I get this error:
config file missing data
fixed. I need to make those checks a little more useful, but you can now disable either.
I also left the notifications a little plain for defaults.
This is what I currently use in the config.pl as I like to see the year and rating.
$alert_format = {'start' => '{user} watching {title} [{year}] [{rating}] on {platform}',
'stop' => '{user} watched {title} [{year}] [{rating}] on {platform} for {duration}',
'watched' => '{user} watched {title} [{year}] [{rating}] on {platform} for {duration}',
'watching' => '{user} watching {title} [{year}] [{rating}] on {platform}'
};
Let me know if there are more that seem useful and I will look into it. I plan on adding more, I just haven't researched what other data really seems useful in an alert or while viewing history.
Working well for me. Many thanks ljunkie.
One request: this build doesn't include Growl notidication mod rcork shared, as an OS X user having the script also support Growl would be a nice +.

You are welcome. I am glad it's working! I definitely plan on adding growl. I just didn't have the time to add it in this release. Next one will include it! I am leaving on vacation until 7/12.. so I probably won't have any updates to this until after.
The modification from rcork should still work if you plug it into the right places.

ljunkie, many thanks have a nice holiday.
I've already patched the latest version to include rcork's Growl mod. All working nicely.
Good stuff

awesome job, i was thinking of banging up a shell script to monitor people using my PMS and i figured i'd check if someone had done something similar and look what i found!
running it on CentOS 5.8 x64 and it works like a charm, thanks!

It always makes me happy to see that it 'just' works :)
I am going to push another update pretty soon. Might be later tonight or tomorrow.
New Features coming
* Twitter added as a provider
* Recently Added notifications for movies and shows
* Notification providers have a flag now in the config.pl to enable/disable push alerts based alert type: 'watching' , 'watched' and the new 'recently added' notification (you can still enable/disable the provider globally with 'enabled' => 0|1 )
I mainly added twitter for the 'recently added' notifications so a group could be notified when new shows or movies were added. I extended the recently added notifications all ALL providers (growl, prowl, etc) so one does not need to use Twitter. If twitter is used though, it sadly does requires some more perl modules.
well, "just works" is true after spending 30 minutes getting the Perl re-reqs installed but that is not an issue from your end, other than that yeah - it works out of the box.It always makes me happy to see that it 'just' works :)

i haven't had a chance to actually sit down and check the code itself in detail but do you have a way to filter out certain users for notifications?, say i don't want to get notifications from user X. i took a peek at the help/git/wiki and didn't see any mentions of this (but then again, i didn't check that hard)
I have thought about it, but no one has really asked for it yet, so I haven't looked into it. It *shouldn't be much work to make that happen and I will see if I can add it in the next release.
that would be awesome, i could just throw it in but i figured someone else might want it as a "feature", thus i mentioned it.I have thought about it, but no one has really asked for it yet, so I haven't looked into it.

* --exclude_user= will be an option with the next release. Will probably be tomorrow as I will be testing this version tonight.that would be awesome, i could just throw it in but i figured someone else might want it as a "feature", thus i mentioned it.
