[BUG] Plex Watchlist not populating

[zlebkowski]

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

1. Connect overseerr to your plex account
2. Add items to your plex watchlist
3. 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: 1.34.0

CPU architecture
