Clear/remove/reset my own watchlist

Feature Suggestions
1

I want a button where I can reset/clear/remove all the items in my watchlist so I can start all over again, there is too many items to do this manually and i don’t see the point in doing it manually when it can be automated.
That’s why we have computers :grin:

For those who doesn’t want to wait and can get access to a Linux computer, here is step by step to do it with code:

1. Install required Python tools

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv

2. Create an isolated Python environment

python3 -m venv ~/plexvenv
source ~/plexvenv/bin/activate

3. Install plexapi

pip install plexapi

4. Create the script file

cat > clear_watchlist.py << ‘EOF’
from plexapi.myplex import MyPlexAccount
import time

REPLACE WITH YOUR OWN PLEX TOKEN!

PLEX_TOKEN = “YOUR_TOKEN_HERE”

account = MyPlexAccount(token=PLEX_TOKEN)
watchlist = account.watchlist()

print(f"Total items in watchlist: {len(watchlist)}")

for i, item in enumerate(watchlist, 1):
try:
item.removeFromWatchlist()
print(f"[{i}/{len(watchlist)}] Removed: {item.title}“)
time.sleep(0.2)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e} - {item.title}”)

print(“:white_check_mark: Done. Watchlist is now empty.”)
EOF

5. Run the script

python clear_watchlist.py
