FreeBSD Users

There is a port for plexWatchWeb and can be added with pkg

pkg install plexwatchweb

This will also install plexWatch, copy the default config and edit it as needed

cp /usr/local/etc/plexWatch/config.pl-dist /usr/local/etc/plexWatch/config.pl

Test and verify everything is working, run it twice, just to be sure

/usr/local/sbin/plexWatch.pl

By default the database will be created at /usr/local/share/plexWatch/plexWatch.db change user/group

chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/local/share/plexWatch

Create a cron, I suggest using a service account, however in this case, we will use nobody like above (second one optional)

* * * * * nobody /usr/local/sbin/plexWatch.pl
*/15 * * * * nobody /usr/local/sbin/plexWatch.pl --recently_added=movie,show
