Updated from a

[animosity022]

Describe the issue
I recently rebuilt and a machine and since updated versions of PlexAPI.

I used to use:

VERSION = '3.6.0'

and now the latest:

VERSION = '4.2.0'

Code snipppets
I use a pretty simple item to mark things watched based on label that's been running for quite a number of months:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import os
import subprocess
import sys
os.environ['PLEXAPI_CONFIG_PATH'] = "/home/felix/scripts/plexapi.ini"

from plexapi.server import PlexServer
plex = PlexServer()

tv = plex.library.section('TV Shows')
for shows in tv.search(label='AutoWatch'):
    for episode in shows.unwatched():
        episode.markWatched()

It generates an error as label doesn't seem to be there anymore:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./plex-mark-watched", line 12, in <module>
    for shows in tv.search(label='AutoWatch'):
  File "/home/felix/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/plexapi/library.py", line 669, in search
    args[category] = self._cleanSearchFilter(category, value, libtype)
  File "/home/felix/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/plexapi/library.py", line 717, in _cleanSearchFilter
    raise BadRequest('Unknown filter category: %s' % category)
plexapi.exceptions.BadRequest: Unknown filter category: label

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Enviroment (please complete the following information):
Ubuntu 20.04
Python3 / other versions noted above.

Is there something in the later version that should be updated to point to instead?

Confirming issue. The proper filter name is show.label but that also will not return results as the the query is of show.label is incorrect. I think I can fix in #598 by adding a check for a libtype when a . separator exists and to drop the libtype. but that may not always be the case.

This is a duplicate issue, though first and following the template, there is more discussion in #623 . Closing, please use #623 going forward.
