Find where you can stream a movie or TV show, regardless of the streaming service (or from your personal Plex Media Server). Add a TV show to your universal Watchlist, whether it’s on your server, available though Plex’s free Movies & Shows streaming, on Netflix, or not even released yet. See details and more in our blog post about the new “Discover” feature and expanded capabilities of the “Watchlist”:

Sounds promising!

Is the watchlist synced / saved via the Plex account or on my Plex server?
Does the server have to be on beta channel to test it?

It is not US only. We are waiting on the Android release of 9.0.2. Your server libraries must use the Plex Movie or Plex TV series agents. You might need to restart app but we are releasing it slowly so you might need to wait like an hour or so

It is saved via your Plex account.

My Libraries are using Plex Movie and Plex TV agents

Server is 1.25.9.5673

Your server version does not really matter ( web app version needs to be the newest) but might need to wait like an hour as we ramp up back end things.

I am also getting this error.

@blackzwe You can unpin Discover from home screen but can’t turn it off. I would try doing a force/hard reload of browser.

12

Done and done, still getting the error, cannot access anything after getting this error until you do a hard reload then error is back.

13

Same experience for me. I have even tried rebooting my server.

14

@blackzwe Which browser is that? You are just going to https://app.plex.tv or using the bundled one?

15

@BigWheel Happens in FireFox and Chrome for me. I am accessing app.plex.tv.
Using bundled (IP:Plex port) works.

16

Tried chrome, edge and safari, seems once you opt into the beta all browsers are affected, just going to the app.plex.tv

Lets say i"ll put a TV Show on the Watchlist…does it mark the episodes as played when i watch it on f.e. Netflix? Do we get notifications when a new seasons arrives or something similar?

Can we pin the Watchlist on the sidebar?

Will you guys also allow account linking so watched state and watchlists from these services get synced as well?

@Wunderwally we don’t share or receive data from Netflix so we won’t know if you watched it there. For now since the watchlist is saved to your account we do not save your server data there either for your privacy but possibly in the future as an opt in thing. The watchlist cannot be pinned.

Possibly in the future but we don’t send or receive watch state from external services due to privacy policies. I’m not sure what external service privacy policies are.
