Add it to your Watchlist. We'll do the rest.
Your Plex Watchlist isn't just a reminder. Anything you put on it gets downloaded to our server automatically, usually within a few minutes, then appears in Plex, ready to watch.
One-time step: sign in to Seerr first. Your Watchlist is only picked up once you've signed in to Seerr with your Plex account, just once, ever. Show me how.
Three taps, on any device
Already signed in to Seerr once? Then this is all it takes.
Search for the title
Use the search in the Plex app. Plex shows every movie and show that exists, including ones we don't have yet.
Open it
Not on our server yet? You'll see where else it's streaming, and no Play button. That's fine.
Tap "+ Watchlist"
The bookmark button next to Play. That's it: your request is in.
From tap to play
You don't need to do anything. Just come back a bit later.
- Right away
Your wish is noted
The title sits on your Watchlist, on every device where you use Plex.
- A few minutes later
It's picked up and requested
Our system checks Watchlists every few minutes and requests anything new, in the best quality it can find. No approval needed.
- Then
It downloads
A movie usually takes a few minutes to an hour. A whole series can take longer, and new episodes keep arriving by themselves as they air.
- Done
It's in Plex
It appears under Movies or TV Shows, and the Play button lights up on the title.
Little tips
- Same Watchlist everywhereAdd it on your phone at lunch, watch it on the TV tonight.
- Not out yet?Add upcoming movies anyway. They'll be fetched as soon as a good copy is available.
- Nothing happening?Check you've signed in to Seerr once, with the same Plex account you add titles with.
- Want updates?Follow your request in Seerr, which can also notify you when it's ready.
Still not there after a day? Some titles are rare and take a while to find. Check its status in Seerr, or see the help page.
