Doubt plexWatchWeb dev is ready. But try going to the settings page and re-saving. That might fix this missing function.

Edit: If you were using the dev version, you should try and revert to the previous copy. The new web dev is not ready.

Previous comment is still correct as the DEV channel is being worked on, however I made some more commits tonight. This might fix some of your errors. Remember though, this is a dev version or plexWatch/Web

You can try my branch until this gets merged into the main repo: [https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatchweb/tree/ljunkie-friendly-names](https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatchweb/tree/ljunkie-friendly-names)

pull another new version: &nbsp;[https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatchweb/tree/ljunkie-friendly-names](https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatchweb/tree/ljunkie-friendly-names)

It should fix those warnings, however I was unable to replicate the the issue with grouping. I am wondering if your plexWatch.db is missing required table. It should be automatically added with the new version of plexWatch. I will verify the windows version is adding that table. &nbsp;

**EDIT:** verified the windows plexWatch v0.1.6 is adding the required table for plexWatchWeb to work with grouping. Please verify you are running the plexWatch v0.1.6 version and report back.&nbsp;

Just downloaded and installed the latest version and its working great except for the .vbs script to run every minute. From a command prompt running plexWatch.exe it sends and email perfectly however with the script it seems to never send. Is this correct for the .vbs script?

```
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\plexWatch\plexWatch.exe --notify", 0, True

Set WshShell = Nothing
```

Thanks for the help

Right, but you should test it with grouping on -- that works fine for me. Can you test with grouping on?

Yes.

\* You must set the start dir to c:\plexWatch in the scheduled job

\* you can test the script by running the vbs after you " cd c:\plexwatch"

If you need to debug it more, you can run this VBS instead: It will show you the cmd prompt popup and wait for your input after it runs"

```
Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)  
WshShell.Run “%comspec% /k ““C:\plexWatch\plexWatch.exe --notify”””, 1, True  
Set WshShell = Nothing
```
