Add to Watchlist from Library and show remaining episode count

There should be an option to add things from your Plex library to the Watchlist from the show/movie selection instead of having to search each one manually and add it from the main search results.[mod-edit: this feature is available if the library is using the current-generation Plex agents]

There should also be a remaining episodes count on the watchlist tab for tv shows similar to the way it shows in the actual tv show list from your server.

That’s already possible.

I don’t see that option unless I search for a show/movie and select it. If I go to my library and click on the show/movie I just see this…

Which app is that?
Make sure to use the hosted web app and/or update Plex for Windows/Mac to the latest release.

That’s the website in Google Chrome. It looks the same in the most up to date iOS app though.

Which website?
Please click on my orange link above.

I did. It’s exactly the same. Loaded your orange link in Safari and took a new screenshot.

Do you happen to have any web browser add-ins?
Or some kind of internet filtering software in your local network or on your computer?

Disable any browser add-ins, disable any filters, clear the browser cache then try again.

The only browser extension I have on Chrome is 1Password and I had already cleared all browser cookies & cache prior to replying. I tried in both Chrome & Safari on my laptop and for an extra isolation proof this is what it looks like on my iOS App.

Could you try and disable the 1password add-in (temporarily) and try again after a reload?

Unfortunately I don’t have the iOS app for comparison here.
Is there nothing under the ellipsis, either?

Disabled 1Password on Chrome and reloaded, no change. No change on Safari either. Correct, no options under ellipsis and no preferences I can see anywhere in any of the settings that would enable/disable the option.

Are these media actually located on your own server or are they on a shared server?
Add to Watchlist can only work, if the server owner has converted the libraries to use the new, native metadata agents. If they are still on the old agents, this won’t work.

That’s probably it. I’ll have to double check those have been done. Thanks!
