Bug with fetching Watchlist #1541
Description
Error fetching items: (404) not_found; https://metadata.provider.plex.tv/library/sections/watchlist/all?includeCollections=1&includeExternalMedia=1 <Error error="Not Found" message="Section 'watchlist' not found!" statusCode="404"/>
Getting this error lately. Seems like we aren't the only one either as several other apps in our community are getting this too. Switching from self.METADATA to self.DISCOVER is the fix that Overseerr went with. It seems to be working for them.
Thanks

Root cause: Plex moved watchlist to discover.provider.plex.tv. One-line fix in PR #1544 switches METADATA → DISCOVER. Verified with unit test and downstream overlay (PlexTraktSync).
change metadata.provider.plex.tv to discover.provider.plex.tv
