[BUG] Plex Watchlist not populating #55
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
The plex watchlist is not being retrieved due to a 404 HTTP response.
2025-12-20T14:58:47.444Z [error][Plex.TV Metadata API]: Failed to retrieve watchlist items{"errorMessage":"Request failed with status code 404"}
Apparently this was an issue on the main branch as well but has been fixed since.
Expected Behavior
Expected behaviour is to retrieve the list of items from the connected plex account and proceed accordingly (automatically request)
Steps To Reproduce
- Connect overseerr to your plex account
- Add items to your plex watchlist
- Go to you watchlist in overseerr and added items are missing
Environment
- OS: DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 5
- How docker service was installed: Container Manager
- Overseer version: 1.34.0CPU architecture
x86-64

@zlebkowski I had the same issue, updated to dev branch as a workaround for the time being, my understand is its due to the merge of Overseerr and Jellyseerr into this unified repository.
I'm currently running develop build b1c6e2fdbde49859a661767e9b414555aa7abc31 by changing the repo to "lscr.io/linuxserver/overseerr:develop" maybe this is a good work around for you as well.
