Watchlist update and Credits

Yes, I do. The first thing I checked was clicking on the show to see if my watch history was synced. From what I can see is that all of the data is synced correctly and it shows the episodes as “Watched”, they just don’t show under “Continue Watching” :man_shrugging:t3:

I must I’ve missed that, I watched all the plex week videos too, can you remember which video it was?

Two things.

I hope that the Watchlist will eventually get a home screen hub that can be turned on or off and that any custom local artwork will override the default internet artwork.

For actor information, can you start indexing the guest star information for TV episodes so if we click on William Shatner, for instance, it will show the episodes of Mission Impossible and the Twilight Zone that he was in, if those are in the library.

What is the actual point of this new watchlist pinned to my bar? The only thing I can do with the shows on my watchlist is to mark as played now, is it just for that? before my server was showing and I could watch a show, now it is just a bunch of shows that I can mark as played and that’s it.

The only one I watched/read was the text article on metadata:

Thanks for the link! HYPE hahaha

I’m curious as to how this will work with end / mid credit scenes :thinking:

It’s the same watch list that was at the top of the home screen previously. We moved it to the side bar so folks could unpin it if they wanted. The way you asked I’m not sure if you knew the watchlist was already a thing so here is some more info about it. https://support.plex.tv/articles/universal-watchlist/

Basically, it is to add shows or movies that you might want to watch in the future. You can add thing to the watchlist even if you don’t have it on your server yet. if you share your server with friends they can be reminded when that they want to watch is available on your server or other streaming service they use.

Lifetime Plex member here.

The feature doesn’t work for me on the web app.

Just for proof, the iOS app does show all the films he’s in I have on my server.

The web app does not.

Doesn’t work on NVidia Shield app, either.

Is your movie library still using the old metadata agents? Is it set to include adult content? That iOS screen shot is not he credits page so I am assuming it likely does not work there either

  1. What’s an “old meta data agent”

  2. I do not have the adult content checkbox checked.

iOS is showing the movies in my library the actor is in, it’s working as it always has.

Web app and Shield app are showing the new bio feature, but it doesn’t show any media the actor is in that I own.

Plex Movie is the current metadata agent. All the rest are old legacy agents.

It seems this only works in android for me, Windows and the Web App doesn’t show where to watch, the only option is to mark as played, Plex for Windows Version 1.56.2.3345-2a4c0924, Plex Web Version 4.93.3

You should be able to get to the bio feature by searching for the actor and selecting them in the “people” section of search results. when you get to that bio page I am guessing your library content will not show up in a row there either. It is only guess you are using the legacy agents

Can you please take a screenshot of what you are seeing with only that option. Just clicking on the poster should take you to the details page for it.

I just updated the iOS app and it works there. Kudos.

Still doesn’t work on web app or Shield app.

OK I signed out of Shield app and Web app and signed back in.

It works.

Thank you so much. This is insanely helpful to me as a film student.

Clicked the show from my WatchList

This is from my WatchList, from the continue watching row

Watch from these locations does show on Android, missing from the Plex for Windows and the Web for me

Odd. Can you confirm the app version numbers you are using. Also may want to try just signing out, and back into those two apps.

Should look like this
