Why did the ability to Watch Playlists Together go away?

In January and February I had curated some playlists and shared them with friends and we watched them together via Watch Together. There was previously an option to Grant Access to the playlist, and after granting access, you could click Watch Together and start a watch party.

However, sometime in the last few weeks this option has disappeared in playlists, and now I am restricted to granting access, but not being able to watch together.

Really the only people who have access to my server is my partner and three friends. This has been a huge bummer, because I was curating old shows complete with old commercials in between.

If anyone has info on why this changed, I’d love to have an understanding, because the change kind of blows…

I think you’ll be happy with the *arrs. They’re easy to set up, highly automated and a great way to collect media.
