Library type: TV Shows
Scanner: Plex TV Series
Agent: Plex TV Series

I currently have two documentaries in this library that show up fine in Plex.
I just added this documentary that seems to be labeled as a movie in TVDB. It is not showing up in the library.

What are my options?

Plex has made it pretty clear that they can’t mix movies and TV in a single library. Your option is to create a movie-type library for that documentary.

After doing so, you can create collections in each library using the same collection name.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

It makes perfect sense that you can’t mix different types in a single library but I didn’t know how to handle this case.

Using collections is a nice way to handle it! I haven’t looked at collections in details until now. Thank you for this great solution.
