The Watchlist target made it to the bulk edit menu before either of the more basic menus. It’s missing from:

- Item context menus
- TV series pages in TV libraries

Can you please take a screenshot where you are not seeing it.

Keep in mind you cannot watchlist individual episodes, individual seasons, nor things that are not matched with the modern Plex Movie and Plex TV Series agents. Possibly I am misunderstanding where you mean.

TV show context menu

Go to an episode of the show without the watchlist button and click get info and then view xml. Do the guid values for the show, season and episodes start with `"plex://`? If not, it’s matched to a legacy agent.

I’m not talking about watchlist integration missing from any particular TV series.

I’m talking about the UI choosing to place add-to-watchlist buttons here but not there, there but not here.

Context menus for a series should provide the same options as the series page.

Context menus for a movie should provide the same options as the movie page.

Where is what I am asking, in my screenshots it is in the series context menu and on the series page. Provide some screenshots so we know where you are talking about.

It’ll also be interesting to see if those shows have `Match` or `Fix Match` listed in their context menu.  
Plex can only add items matched using the Plex TV Series agent to the universal watchlist.

For the third time, it has nothing to do with the particular video; The Watchlist button is present in the library tab but absent when clicking on ANY video. The UI engineers forgot to provide the same button in the per-video view. As well as dropdown action menus.
