[REQ] Exclude Content Available on Specific Platforms

[Mallone2000]

Description

Add functionality to SuggestArr that allows users to exclude movies or TV shows available on specific streaming platforms (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime) from being automatically requested. This feature would ensure that content already accessible to users through their existing subscriptions is not redundantly added to their media libraries.

Proposed Functionality

Platform Exclusion Setting

• Add a configuration option in the settings (web interface or configuration file) for users to specify a list of excluded platforms (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Disney+).

API Integration for Content Availability

Integrate an API like:

• JustWatch API: Provides detailed information about streaming availability.
• TMDb Watch Provider: Supports querying streaming services where a title is available.

Workflow Changes

Before sending a content request:

1. SuggestArr queries the availability API for each recommended title.
2. If the title is found on an excluded platform, it skips the request.
3. Log entries are generated for skipped requests with the reason (e.g., "Available on Netflix").

Optional Manual Override

• Allow users to manually request titles that were skipped if desired, with a warning about availability.
