maybe a github delay. It's there for me.
I'm not seeing PushAlot in the config.pl file, Am I just not seeing it?

ah, ok, I see it now, you're right... I did it too fast ;)
Is there a way to change the 'alert_format' for the recently added notification or is that not exposed to the config.pl?
Recently added does not have that option. It’s been on my list for a while… so expect it someday

ljunkie....Again thank you so much for this. Pushalot is working great and I'm really stunned at how fast you pushed out the update. Im sure it will keep a small band of fellow WP users very happy. :)
sfnetwork...Thanks again for the easy install guide, without it I would probably have struggled. :)
I've searched the thread but couldn't see if I can only get notifications for certain users? I'm on the Windows version using Pushover.
Thanks for any hints :)

There's a commandline option for excluding certain users
'--notify --exclude_user=user1 --exclude_user=user2'
EDIT: figured this out this afternoon.
On windows you edit the plexwatchnotify.vbs file and add the --exclude_user=user1 in there. Notifications will not be sent for this user but they will still appear in the stats for PleWatchWeb and other utilities.. which is perfect!
@ljunkie I created a pull request that pulled all of this together, which is working at least on my personal install. Feel free to close it if you already have all of this work done on your own (just push it up already :P ).
@eleese I could not replicate your issues, even before incorporating the new error checking code. In any case the new check that @ljunkie posted is incorporated in the pull request.
For anyone interested this can be found here: https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatch/pull/80
Hopefully this helps somebody!
Thanks for the great work everyone. Pushing to Channels is working great.
Can multiple destinations support for pushbullet be added please? I am currently running 2 instances for Plexwatch to allow me to send my recently added notifications to a channel and the other for granular notification to my pushbullet devices.
I just found this awesome app. Thank you so much!
Would you possibly consider adding a generic URL input as a push destination?
What I mean is have the same system as the other pushes with very basic inputs like so... and then it just shoots out to the URL provided.
'urlpost' => {
'enabled' => 0,
'push_recentlyadded' => 0,
'push_watched' => 0,
'push_watching' => 0,
'push_paused' => 0,
'push_resumed' => 0,

When I try this I get an error message about unexpected command - where in the plexwatchnotify.vbs did you add the line and what was the syntax of the username?
Thanks!

This is exactly the content of my plexwatchnotify.vbs
Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.Run “C:\plexWatch\plexWatch.exe --notify --exclude_user=jdbrookes”, 0, TrueSet WshShell = Nothing
You can see I only added the "--exclude_user=jdbrookes" bit after --notify
The username is exactly my username as it appears in PlexWatch notifications
Hey all. Im a recent convert over from PlexNotify and really love it.
However I share my server with a few friends and always found the buffering notification really helpful on PN.
I did search here and also google. Google brings up the link to here and the GitHub page and in the search results. On the results page summary it says
"The Notification Status that come with Plex Notify are: Playing; Paused; Buffering; Stopped; Resume From Stop; Resume From Pause; Resume"
However actually clicking the link and going to the GitHub page I then see no mention of buffering at all..Is this possible in PlexWatch? :)

+1 Rather than a notification it would be pretty nifty to have buffering issues integrated into the stats on PlexWatchWeb. One of the great things about PWW is being able to see if my users are getting to 100% when watching media (if movies are being abandoned at less than 50% it might mean connection or quality issues). If you could see number of buffering incidences for individual plays then you could (a) determine issues with your own setup (perhaps upload or CPU issues) or (b) identify issues for a specific user (perhaps they have their quality settings higher than their connection can manage).
Can any of you help a PlexWatch noob?
I have followed the instructions here (https://forums.plex.tv/topic/155326-plexwatch-and-plexwatchweb-installation-and-configuration-procedure-for-dummies-windows/)
I seem to have succeeded somewhat and am glad to say that running plexwatch.exe results in no error.
the log is populating with my vbs's every minute as expected.
My issue is that the plexwatch.db seems to not be connectable from plexwatch web.
It is showing the total movies, tv episodes, and my kids section but beside that i have the error Failed to access plexWatch database. Please check your settings.
Now i have put into the configuration
c:/PlexWatch/plexWatch.db
c:\PlexWatch\plexWatch.db
but it still refuses to connect to it.
I am useing the XAMPP install as recommended and am unsure if there is something I have to do to enable the db portion? am i missing an obvious step here?
please help!
PS:
PMS, PlexWatch and XAMPP all off the same Server 2008R2
- plexWatch/Web Version: v1.5.4.2
- plexWatch Version: v0.3.3-DEV

First, I would try disabling UAC, Firewall and antivirus to try isolating. If you can browse to c:/plexwatch/plexWatch.db, it could just be an access issue (just shooting in the dark here.)

Wow.
Thank you... *feels stupid*
The local network windows Firewall blocked its own traffic. Disabled that and bam everything is working.
Thanks again.
is it possible to use a shared plexwatch database? if i set the database onto a fileshare location that both my servers can see and write to and then alter the .pl file to reflect this will plexwatchweb then be able to process the data from both server?
im assuming i'll have to tweak the scheduled tasks so they both dont try writing to the db file at the same time if it is possible, I know some features of plexwatchweb rely upon data from a single server, but at least all the stats would be in one place.
No, that’s not supported. You’ll definitely run into issues.

ljunkie. Could you please clarify regarding buffering as i mentioned above.I'm thinking that as it mentions buffering in google search that it was indeed included at one point? Was it removed or did it never actually appear in PN.?
Thanks again for a great plug-in. :)
