Don't allow request if movie hasn't released yet

28 votes

Ombi displays movies that haven't been released either Theatrically or digitally, which is nice as we can see what's coming. But, if it hasn't been released digitally, there's likely no way to get a high quality version of it, and therefore, I don't want it on my server yet.
Can we have a way to either hide movies that aren't released yet, or make the request button hidden/changed to "Not released yet" to prevent cluttering the request queue?

cant you decide the quality of the movie or whatever on Sonarr/ Radarr?
you want to request the movie before it is released and forget about it until it is released.
otherwise you can forget about it.

This should be handled in Sonar and Radarr.

I agree. Properly set up release profiles and this won't be an issue. Try using your tags to eliminate possible poor quality releases.

At the root of this request it makes sense to be able to "hide" movies that haven't been released yet from the requests view. This would help filter "potentially obtainable" movies into view and only have the request appear when it's ready to grab.

As Sonarr and Radarr aren't perfect regarding grabbing media, this view would be very helpful to find ones that hadn't yet been marked as Available automatically although they are released.

Being able to add a request for upcoming movies etc. Is a great thing in my opinion.....as long as it searches automatically for it when it becomes available. Making sure your radarr quality profile is setup properly is a must.

Agreed — adding an item when it's announced ensures I don't have to remember when it's released. Sonarr/Radarr should be set up to only search for available/released media.
