I have done a search but can not figure out how to add films/tv that are not listed on the plex database. When I searched I only came up with how to add your own films and change the metadata so that they can be found. However, I am NOT adding a media server, I am just trying to add films to my watch list. How does one do this? Thanks.
You can only add items that have been matched with the current-generation Plex agents (Plex Movie, Plex TV Series).
If you find the movie in question when you use the search feature on http://watch.plex.tv/ then you can also add it to the Watchlist.
Anything else cannot be added, unfortunately.
It is unfortunate the database is not more up-to-date. I often try to add things (the way you mention above) and they are not listed.
Can you share a few examples?
Oh boy, I can’t recall them all since I add films/tv as they come up or are recommended. In the future, if I remember, I will add them here.
At the moment, all I can think of are the following:
Pistol (2022)
Le Otto Montagne (The Eight Mountains)
Blue Island (2022)
Aftersun (2022)
Those all exist in Plex’s database. The discover search just doesn’t seem to find them. I converted the TMDB IDs to the Plex Guids.
Pistol (2022):

I have no idea how you did that but thank you so much!
