usually either the library “Explicit content” enabled or the item was not matched with modern Plx Movie agent.

I just spent an hour dealing with this, and this has been an issue for over a year? There are more than a few threads opened about this on the forums.

> Server Version#: Version 1.41.2.9200 Player Version#: Version 4.142.1 The button to add movies to the watchlist disappeared. There’s no menu option neither, so now it’s impossible to add new movies to the watchlist. I read online and the only solution is to change the agent to the Plex Movie agent, and then refresh the metadata. However, I’m already using the Plex Movie agent. The watchlist worked perfectly before, only noticed the bug today but never changed…

For future readers, you are looking for the “Allow matching to explicit content” option in the Library advanced settings. This needs to be unchecked and then you have to re-scan the library, reload client in the browser or restart the desktop client.
