Hey, guys. PlexWatch has been working great for me ever since I installed it; I use Growl, or Prowl, or whatever it's called, to get my notifications on my phone.
Last night, plex.tv went down, and my gut tells me they changed something, because PlexWatch stopped working after plex.tv came back up. Any thoughts?

tycho, I noticed plex.tv down last night as well but have not noticed PlexWatch stop updating the database. It still posts recently watched content, and added to twitter and plexWatchWeb.
I use CronVisual 7 for my incremental updates.
Yeah, never mind - a couple of reboots of my server box and everything's working normally again. Thanks...

I schedual to run plexwatch every 1 min, but it not running correctly, I am not sure how to enable the script to run in windows task.
any help!
Thanks
After task ran I am getting this error “** missing file ./config.pl. Did you move edit config.pl-dist and copy to config.pl?” when I run plexwatch.exe from the folder it running fine, but not able to run it via schaual task
This is usually caused by not setting the "start folder" when creating the task. Try and edit your task and set the start folder to your installation directory
Automatically notify/log watching/watched content: ( You must enable this script for plexWatch to work )
* schedule a task (every minute) to execute c:\plexWatch\plexWatchNotify.vbs ( specify the start in folder as c:\plexWatch\ )

Thank you Ijunkie you fixed my problem
I've having some issues with this. I've followed the instructions and still can't get this to work under windows. It tells me how many files i have in each category but won't show me what is or has been playing
I'm getting the same as this. The script is running every 5 mins and the web page loads, but only shows me the number of items I have, nothing else. I feel like I'm missing a config somewhere.
I was wondering if there was hope of getting the most up to date version of plexwatch recomplied for the windows branch? I was really hoping to get Pushbullet to work with it.
i hope someday this plewatch feature be included on stable version of plex server
We really need a fix for the trailers being recorded as movies... :(
It's fixed in the linux branch. A windows branch will be coming soon.

Awesome thanks ljunkie!
I posted in the Web forum I'm not sure its a web issue. I'm using the Web front end but it times out when I try to pull user detail by IP address. I have 7000 play from at 12 clients that I know about. Any thoughts? Everything else looks and works great!
Hi!
I just discovered the awesomeness of plexWatch and plexWatchWeb and I'm really grateful for the hard work being put into this!
Two questions:
1. When having installed plexWatch on Windows, do I need to keep executing the EXE regularly (for instance with a scheduler), or does it sit in the background expanding the database?
2. Is there any way to import old data? It seems only to have picked up what's been watched since I installed the script - but my logs are filled with data that would be useful statistics for me (though the logs seem to be automatically rotated by Plex itself?).
Cheers, and thanks again!
Thanks for the kind words!

1. Yes, you must run it on a schedule, it runs and exits.
(I'm mobile, so hopefully that copied and pasted right. It's in the first post though)
2. No old data can be salvaged. Logs are rotated for one, and two, plexWatch doesn't really utilize the logs for much except IP address of the client.
Ah, ok, thanks!
Hi ljunkie,
Any estimate on when we may be able to get pushbullet support in the Windows branch?
Thanks for all of your awesome work here! This is an awesome utility.
