same issue. Everything is running in docker.

Same issue - develop version

[patrickschaper]

same as #4224 I guess
and will therefore be fixed with #4220

Swapping to develop will fix this?
And why is it not pushed to latest?

[blixten85]

Nope. Same shit 2025-10-01T13:22:17.398Z [error][Plex.TV Metadata API]: Failed to retrieve watchlist items{"errorMessage":"Request failed with status code 404"}

@blixten85 Did you restart the container?

@blixten85 Did you restart the container?

Yes ofc, twice. Also shut it down, pruned and pulled it again.
I think the fix is either not pushed to develop and latest. And plex also had a breach 1-2? weeks ago
Maybe that plays its role too?

[sleighton]

@blixten85 Or you are using a non-fixed container. There are multiple versions, sctx, linuxserver and binhex and not all develop tags are updated for the fix. That bit me a month ago, I finally just did the sed fix to the image to fix it all locally.

@sleighton
I use proxmox lxc version from community-scripts. But urls are correct

[blixten85]

I’m using this one. From this repository

image: sctx/overseerr:develop

[sleighton]

@MattXcz There's a special way to fix that one. Try searching the issues for proxmox and see if you can find it.

Try this link #4230 (comment)

[sleighton]

@blixten85 I use that one, I had to manually patch mine to get it to work.

docker exec -u 0 <container_name> sh -c "sed -i 's/metadata.provider.plex.tv/discover.provider.plex.tv/g' /app/dist/api/plextv.js"

Also note that if you haven't relogged into Overseerr and refreshed the server token since the recent plex password fiasco, you need to do so to eliminate all errors.

Is there no maintainer of this program?
