[Feature Request] Add Plex Watchlist Support to Posterr

[gamer85]

Hi team,
Would it be possible to add support for Plex’s Watchlist feature in Posterr?
The Watchlist is a key part of how I curate what’s worth watching—especially across platforms like Apple TV, Android boxes, and browsers. I often rely on it to track both movies and TV shows I’ve flagged for later, but I find myself forgetting what’s in the queue. Having those Watchlist items visually represented in Posterr would be a game-changer.
Being able to see posters from my Watchlist directly in Posterr would serve as a powerful visual reminder of the content I’ve already earmarked. It would also help me better utilize both Plex and Posterr together, making the experience more seamless and intentional.
Since Watchlist is already a native Plex feature, integrating it into Posterr feels like a natural and highly additive enhancement.
Thanks for considering this!
Best,
Happy Posterr User

Thanks for the request, @gamer85

Posterr does not currently require any specifics for named users, but instead uses the the Plex-X-Token to access all media on the server. In it's current state, this rules out recommendations, watchlist, and watched status, as these are all user-centric datasets.

Whilst it should be possible to include a watchlist feature, I have to consider keeping the settings simple, along with application consistency. (I am currently adding Jellyfin support, which does not have a watchlist feature.)

For these reasons, I won't add this to the enhancemnet roadmap. That said, if you can get 20 likes for this request, I will add it.

I'll keep this request open for 3 months to see what happens.

Thank you again for your interest and request.

Matt
