I’m searching for things I know are in Netflix and in the More to Watch part of the search the items never show Netflix as a valid place to watch.
Ie Arrested Development which I know is on Netflix doesn’t have it as a choice.
There are a lot of Netflix things that are missing. It’s not every show, but quite a lot.
Arrested Development doesn’t show in their DB as being Netflix.
Apollo 10.5 does.
Red Notice does not.
Trying to embrace the Discover feature but need to have an up to date database to deliver recommendations.
I have the same problem. I have Netflix set as a streaming service and some titles that I know are available to me in my country (New Zealand) are found by Plex but don’t have Netflix listed as a place to watch. With one of my local streaming services (ThreeNow) some titles aren’t found by Plex at all.
Please mention a few examples.
If you have the time, provide a link to the movie or show as it appears on https://watch.plex.tv/
Here are some screenshots from app.plex.tv. I have Netflix selected as a streaming service (1). Screenshots from my Netflix account show Bridgerton (2), Jimmy Savile (2), Taboo (3), and Heartland (4) are available to me in my country. However, Plex doesn’t show Bridgerton (5) or Jimmy Savile (6) as available on Netflix, but it shows Taboo (7) as available on Netflix, and Heartland (8) as available on Prime Video but not Netflix. I wasn’t sure it was necessary that the links come from watch.plex.tv so here is a a screenshot of Bridgerton (9) for comparison - I haven’t provided screenshots for the others but I did check them and the results are the same as app.plex.tv. I also included a screenshot of Bridgerton (10) on app.plex.tv via a VPN connnected to USA where it shows as available on Netflix.

My examples mirror divideby0 examples above. All examples shown there with links mimic what I am seeing as far as Netflix links go.
Here’s a link to Russian Doll that says it can’t find this show anywhere. Season 2 just appeared on Netflix and Season 1 has been there a while.
So I’ve provided more information as requested. Will I receive any further response form you?
Thank you both for your detailed informations!
These are invaluable in tracking down the issue.
I have relayed all the infos to the right team.

Thanks, I really hope they sort this. Discover is useless to me the way it is at the moment.
Hi same here I am in UK. Example:-

I am in the US and have 2 shows that do not show any streaming services. Lust is on Hbomax and Shining Vale is on Starz. Shining vale shows directtv but show does not show starz (where show originated). Lust does not show any services.
Just following up here. All the same issues remain with streaming services not showing as options as expected. Links above.
So at this point it feels like discover is another not well thought out Plex feature with limited to no support. Many Netflix shows don’t show up as streamable. The watchlist is basically just a list of shows and movies with no ties to anything (no next episode no ties to watch status in local libraries).
At least fix the links to services? The more ways to watch search is basically useless without this.
Otto, any news on this?
The problem persists; here is a screenshot of a show that is on my Netflix watchlist, but an option for Netflix is not available in Discover:
Please advise and thanks.
Yes, I’d like to know, too 
Just checked this morning and Netflix shows appear to be linked now. I tried Arrested Development, Russian Doll, Breaking Bad all showed Netflix as a valid source.
I’m in NE USA since region seems to play a part.
Is work still being done to get this right? Things are getting better but still not working properly. As per my post above with all the screenshots - Bridgerton and Jimmy Savile are now showing as available to me on Neflix but Heartland still only shows Prime Video.
And what’s with the annoying popup asking if I want to add a title to my watchlist every single time I click a provider? There’s already an “Add to Watchlist” button on the title’s page so this is just annoying overkill.
Numerous titles in my Plex Watchlist are accurately reflected as being available on Netflix. However, a significant number are not. I confirmed they are on Netflix, and also note that JustWatch lists them as such, but Plex indicates “No streaming services available”.
- Black Island
- Good on Paper
- Kate (2021)
- Kitty Love: An Homage to Cats
- My Octopus Teacher
- Outlaw King
- The Battered Bastards of Baseball
- The Boys in the Band (2020)
- Untold: Malice at the Palace
- We Steal Secrets
I think the watchlist is a fantastic addition to Plex, and hope that minor issues like these can be ironed out!
