[Minor] Plex watchlist not viewable when using Jellyseerr watchlist

[shark2k]

Description

I am currently using Jellyseerr with Plex. I have some movies/series added to my Plex watchlist and having come across a feature request that mentioned the Jellyseerr watchlist, I wanted to check it out. Before adding anything to the Jellyseerr watchlist, I was able to see my Plex watchlist. Once I added something to the Jellyseerr watchlist, the only thing I was able to see was the media from the Jellyseerr watchlist. I deleted the movie I added from the Jellyseerr watchlist and was then able to see the Plex watchlist again.

Version

2.3.0 (Stable) [Docker]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a Plex server connected to Jellyseerr
2. Have media added to your Plex watchlist
3. Be able to view Plex watchlist in Jellyseerr (should be default for the admin)
4. Add media (only needs to be one) to your Jellyseerr watchlist
5. See that you can no longer see the items from the Plex watchlist
6. Remove media from your Jellyseerr watchlist and see your Plex watchlist become visible again

Additional Context

I do not know if this is the intended behavior, but what I was expecting was for the watchlist to be combined. I admit I do not know how the 2 watchlists are handled in the backend so this could be intended. If this is the intended behavior I can open a feature request, but I would think either there could be 2 watchlist sections or probably better have it combined but have a label to show what is from Plex and what is from Jellyseerr.

Code of Conduct

Jellyseerr watchlist is not supposed to be used when using plex. It was an oversight/regression (as i do remember watchlist being contextual. Might be misremembering, but i vaguely remember local watchlist being allowed only for jellyfin/emby and plex watchlist for plex). Jellyseerr watchlist is a replacement for jellyfin/emby as they don't have watchlist function.

However having a combined watchlist could be a nice feature but that might require some refactoring. But yeah the original intended behavior was to only allow jellyfin/emby users to use the local watchlist function as it was a replacement for the plex watchlist.

Thanks for confirming that. Do you want me to put in a feature request based on suggesting of having a combined watchlist? I think it could be nice as I run all 3, but only share Plex with my users, to have ready in case Plex makes a decision that makes me want to stop using their software completely.

Thanks again for the confirmation and also for forking Overseerr so that improvements keep coming!
