ok, I'm in the process of really testing PlexWatch (coming from PN) and have questions, but first, I wanted to make sure it,s super stable.
Everything seems to work with notifications to PushOver but I always get those on my Windows 2008 R2 server:
Any idea?
Thanks, after I'll jump in PlexWatch/Web to test ;)
Normally this indicates bad code.
Have you accidentally modified the vbs incorrectly?
I would be tempted to re-download and set up again.

just the vbs? (no BTW, did touch them...)
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\InstalledPrograms\plexWatch\plexWatch.exe --notify --exclude_user=USERNAME1 --exclude_user=USERNAME2", 0, True
Set WshShell = Nothing
This is the contents of mine, looks like I edited it at some point.

Looks OK...
plexWatch v0.3.2 Released (2014-11-20)
Requirements:* PMS 0.9.8.x +* PlexPass subscription ( everything but recently added content )* PMS logs ( with debug enabled ) if you want IP logging* Clients that support Now Playing i.e. user must show up in now playing on plex/Webnote: PMC does not work - use PHT* Recently added notifications will work with any current version (non PlexPass ok)no perl modules needed - it's just a single .exe and a config file
Things known not to work
* --start= , --stop= options on the cli: not a huge deal and can possible be fixed later
Downloads: plexWatch.exe and config.pl-dist-win32 ( I will be adding a windows directory for binaries for the final release )
* VBS scripts: plexWatchNotify.vbs & plexWatchRecentlyAdded.vbs
Are you using the plexwatch.exe and config.pl-dist-win32 downloaded seperatly from the main repo?
I'd suggest downloading a fresh copy, unmodified, and try that as a baseline. I think it's possible to introduce encoding issues depending on the editor used. I usually try and stick with notepad++ with windows.

I basically used those links to get all 4 files...

This is only about the two vbs files right?
Yes

Yes
ok, redownload them, them issue...
Thats me out of ideas then, looking through my set up, I downloaded...
Renamed config.pl-dist-win32 to config.pl
edited config.pl with notepad++ to specify....
$data_dir
$server_log
$user_display
$alert_format
'pushover' => {
Then I opened a CMD window and ran
plexWatch.exe --notify
by hand (any errors at this point??)
Then I set up a scheduled task to run plexWatchNotify.vbs regularly.
the recentlyadded one seems to be the issue, the notify one seems fine...
No reason it shouldn't work. Its a pretty simple vbs written to the same format as the other one. have you modified it at all?

nope (even just tried a fresh copy...)
Besides this, the notify one works pretty well so far (tried PushOver and Email). Easy to setup so far and seem light to run too...
PlexWatchWeb on the other hand, I'm lost lol (I posted on correct thread requiring assistance)
Just need this recentlyadded vbs to work... Could it be something in my PMS config (home users, setup, etc...)?
nope (even just tried a fresh copy...)
Tried writing it yourself? Just incase there is a hidden character somewhere in the repo?
Its pretty short, shouldn't take long.

didn't check it in detail but plexWatchRecentlyAdded.vbs seems pretty long (compared to recentlyadded)
plexWatchRecentlyAdded.vbs
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\InstalledPrograms\plexWatch\plexWatch.exe --recently_added=tv,movie", 0, True
Set WshShell = Nothing
Not that long.
