Well that explains why it’s not working for you. I will have to check why it’s not giving v0.1.6 for download later tonight. Can you try?

I am not sure what's going on with your download. I have downloaded that file and when I run ``` plexWatch.exe --version ```  Version: 0.1.6 Are you moving the downloaded file to c:\plexWatch\ and overwriting the old copy? I can't figure out why you'd see an old version. Maybe try removing the exe completely so you know you have removed it and moved in a new copy.  ---

Yeah its really weird. i only show no results with grouping on. and it must see the db or else it would get a db error. So is the db not pulling the grouping info? ---

I guess something weird happened and it was not running the exe file anymore. which is weird because it would show now playing properly but, running it manually fixed the issue. i apologize for wasting your time :) ---

Hopefully you can get the exe running again or you won't get any updates. Glad we figured it out. I was hoping it wasn't me :) ---

Rock Star, I truly appreciate your dedication to the Plex community, and I would love to use PlexWatch, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it to work. I'm running PMS on my Windows 7 machine, and I _think_ I'm installing everything properly, but I keep getting an "Unable to open script source: No such file or directory" error. I extracted the contents of the ZIP to my plexwatch folder, moved the proper .exe and config.pl files to that location, edited config.pl to my liking, and I'm at a dead end. I've been building computers for twenty years now, and I work with them extensively every day, so I know I'm comfortable around them and how they think, but maybe this is an area where I have zero competence. Is there something I haven't installed? Am I glossing over something completely? I would truly appreciate your help, because I desperately want PlexWatch's functionality for notifying me who's connected and watching what. Thanks! ---

Did you enable notifications? if so which 1? Did you point the config to your serverlog? Did you create the task to run the exe? ---

It is at this point where I get the "Unable to open script" error. I thought that maybe my syntax for the log folder was incorrect, so I tried it a bunch of different ways to no effect. I tried entering the actual filename (Plex Media Server.log), but that didn't work either. I hate to admit it, but I haven't felt this newbie in a long time. ---
