I’m running Plex for Android 9.1.0.31834-beta on the Nvidia Shield Pro.
It’s happening with all BBC iPlayer shows that I’ve tried.

Where is the sidebar link to my ‘Vudu’ library?

When using the plex web player, can someone point out where the “Add to Watchlist” option is supposed to show up? It’s not appearing in the context menu:
The action should be in the context menu when you access an item from the library view. On a movie’s details page you’ll get to see an icon/button that adds that movie to the watchlist.
That being said… as the options don’t show on your setup:
- make sure you’re using the hosted version of Plex Web (https://app.plex.tv/desktop)
- make sure your library uses the
Plex Movieagent (best with library metadata refreshed)

Is your movie library using the new native agents?
And if so, did you refresh your metadata afterwards?

Thanks Tom and Dane for this help. I was on the new Plex agents so once I did the metadata refresh, the watchlist icon appeared in the movie details page on the samsung tv app but still didn’t appear on the plex web app on my PC.
It seems if I use the web app at at the 127.0.0.1 address they wont show up. But using the hosted web app at https://app.plex.tv/desktop, then the icon shows up. So I’ll use that link from now on, thanks again.

Turned this on and absolutely loving it. Some questions though…
I am in Australia and it has identified some of the local Television networks streaming services (Nine Now etc) - but I am seeing nothing come through from them at all. Is this waiting on some supporting software update from them?
When I was watching a video on this, it mentioned being able to add free streaming services. Is there a way, short of adding and waiting for it to say, “no you need to subscribe” to work out what is free. Also, are the free services geo-restricted? I don’t see a large number of services, so suspect that this might be the case.
I have the same issue in New Zealand. ThreeNow is identified but no content comes up on Plex.
If you mean things like “Trending on Your services” row then we might not get trending data for them.
or do you mean you know of a particular movie/series they have and when you search it does not show as available there
Nothing at all, no reference to free to air channels in Australia whether its specific content, search or recommendations.
Thank you for posting this!
This!
Or, better yet, just enable all services for all regions, default to showing the filter for the region the user is in, but with the option to widen/vary the filter according to preference. My Server is in Australia, but I’d love to use this feature for when I’m travelling (I’m often in NZ, the US, Malaysia and Japan).
Right now, there are three groupings: My services, popular services, all services. It might just be easier, in the meantime, to add a fourth, and change the titles to: My services, Popular services in Region, All services in Region, All services Global (filter)

Yeah, the services list should just be one global list. The user knows what regional services they have available.
Would love to try this feature out!
OK, where is this option in the menu structure…
Although I am having trouble getting to all menus - I did an optimize database, and it’s been going for a couple of hours now, (about 1100 movies) and seems to have me locked out of some menu options. (is there away to stop this, or do I just have to wait till completion)
I also not that per @BigWheel response - Understand the trending data, but investigating the second, I can see things in those services in the search, but selecting them, just takes me to that services website, - do I need to set login credentials for them somewhere…
That is what it is supposed to do if you are using the web browser. if you were using our TV or mobile app it should close Plex and open the associated app.
We can’t play other services content in our app without deals and such being struck with those services. Netflix wants you to use their app for example. They have no reason to allow it to play in our app.
The discover feature is meant to help your find where a thing maybe available without having to search multiple apps to initially find it. If the service requires an account log in then you would need to log into that streaming service when you get to their site or app
I may be misunderstanding what you were expecting though.

ThreeNow definitely has content. 7 days for example shows up (although the seasons don’t match up) as does New Zealand Today for example. However, it seems a lot more hit and miss with non-NZ stuff.

We definitely need an option to track what we are watching, it is hard to keep the list up to date.

Does Youtube Premium work for anyone ? On the Apple TV it gives me the generic message ‘unable to connect to service’
It works only via the web browser
