eleese do you have any idea when you will release this with myplex support on master git? cant wait for it :P
The next release is in testing now and it will support myPlex authentication along with a variety of other features. My anticipated dev branch release is hopefully 1-2 weeks. Master branch release will come out after we resolve all major bugs with the dev version but you will be able to use the dev version if you don't want to wait for the master update. I'll post here when the dev branch is ready for testing.
Sadly it’s probably my fault for the delay. I need to release an updated plexWatch before the dev branch can work. I think someone is being nice by not calling me out

Welcome screen modal with requirements quick test and briefing
Settings page. This eliminates the need to edit a config.php file in the root directory.
Grouping support for global history, user history, charts and stats
Friendly names and names+platform support. plexWatch/Web will automatically display any friendly names you have configured in plexWatch
Main menu navigation has changed to an icon only based menu with tooltip hover to offer better compatibility with mobile devices
myPlex authentication support for accessing plexWatch/Web from remote networks
User public IP address history with play counts, geo location and google map links
User platform play count stats
Global history statistic charts (hourly, daily, monthly)
Note to XAMPP users:
The default installation of XAMPP does not bundle any CA certs. Because of this, myPlex authentication will not work correctly without first fixing this issue. Please follow the directions on the plexWatch/Web wiki before installing this version of plexWatch/Web.
Works great on Windows. The global stats is a very nice feature to have. If you added duration in addition to plays in the global stats, then I'd have everything I need and you've only been working on this project a few weeks. That's very quick to go from nothing to a perfect solution.
I'm happy to hear the dev version is working for you guys.
Do you envision global duration times to be simple single values like on the user stats (today, yesterday, last week, last month, all time) or would it need to be more in-depth displaying (hourly, daily, weekly,monthly,annual) values like the charts?
Can you tell me what the image url link is for your missing gravatar icon? The code is written that if that field is empty it should populate it with the default icon so I'm curious what yours is linking to.
Thanks for providing that image link. There is a new commit now available that should fix this so that it displays the default avatar image. Give it a try.
What is the easiest way to switch from main branch to dev? what's the command to switch it and pull it cause git branch dev and then pull doesnt seem to do it?
Love the new dev version however, you might want to put a user/password (myplex?) on the settings page, so only those that login can view the plexwatchweb? Handy if you host it elsewhere.

I will make note of offering a user authentication framework as a possible future enhancement. In the meantime, you can setup password protection on the server level using htpasswd and .htaccess files. There is a small how-to for XAMPP users on the wiki.
Up and running with the new dev release on Windows, and it's working as advertised. Great job on this, eleese, and ljunkie. It fills a huge void in having statistics on the server. Thanks!
If I may make a humble suggestion for a little more info. It strikes me that there is a lot of unused room on the default User page. I was wondering if you'd consider adding some overall User statistics to that page? Perhaps a graph or two comparing all Users on the system, and how many plays and/or hours they each have to give the Server Operator a way to easily glance on who is, and isn't using the server? Maybe group these through a Dropdown selection that would offer up the Server Operator's choice of Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly, and all-time stats (actually it would be nice to have an option like that for your current Charts too, if possible)? Anyway, just a thought I had, and figured it couldn't hurt to make the suggestion. :)
But regardless of all that, I love the system just the way it is. Thanks so much for all your time and effort in creating this, and making it available to all of us to use! It is very much appreciated! :)

Thank you! It's great to hear all the positive feedback from dev branch users for this release. :D
The users page is more of a placeholder right now. There have been a couple suggestions like yours to include some type of activity and stats overview. I'm still in the design stage for this enhancement so it won't make it into this version of plexWatch/Web but will hopefully be included in v1.5.

Either one will work well for me. If you do it in-depth even better but depends on the amount of development work it takes you. Having a second row in the history page of 3 charts doing the same but with duration (or ability to switch dataset on the current charts) would work well.
Hi and request for help...I am a Linux newbie, but learning!
I had the master version of plexWatchWeb up and running and decided that the dev version looked very cool! So I ventured into installing the requirements and it appears that all of those items are working (I think!).
I also have been a long time user and supporter of plexWatch. That appears to be working fine as well. See history text file attached.
Unfortunately I am not seeing much information on the dev version of plexWatchWeb - see screenshots attached.
Home screen: I see the Plex Status area and the User Activity Area (if there aren't any users on I also see recently added posters)
History: I see the titles, but no data
Users: blank screen
Charts: blank screen
Settings: Clicking on any of the items doesn't work. I was able to initially set-up the config when installing plexWatchWeb
I am not sure where to look to try and solve this myself, and any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
The basic details:
PMS 0.9.8.10 on unRaid
PlexPass user
plexWatch 0.1.6 on Linux Mint 15 box
plexWatchWeb "1.0.4.7 dev" on same Linux Mint 15 box

I don't see any mention of a sqlite3 extension in your PHP details. During the first run of plexWatch/Web you should have seen a welcome modal. What version of SQLite did it say you had? If you don't remember, delete your current config.php file in /config/ and refresh plexWatch/Web.
