Add option to show only available media

[Wilk-22]

Description

It would be nice to be able to filter out every media that's not already downloaded, with this option being in an easily accessible spot, as sometimes I or any of the other users (who are not as comfortable with tech) want to watch what's already downloaded instead of browsing the infinite library of movies.

Desired Behavior

A switch beside a search bar to show only movies and shows that are already downloaded

Additional Context

An example of what i mean

We will be adding this filter into discoverMovies tab for movies and discoverShows tab for shows as a filter you can select (available, partially available, requested, processing)

@Fallenbagel is this already in progress? I'd love to take a stab at it otherwise.

I just implemented a very crude version by misappropriating the LibraryItem toggle, which obviously doesn't allow for the same amount of granularity, but it was a good first issue for me :)

Open a pr and we will review it :D

Hi so I took a deeper look at this, I am stumbling across one problem:
The way the api call is implemented on the backend currently, the request (with filters) essentially just gets piped to themoviedb, which returns movies sorted by popularity. TMDB obviously has no clue about the availability state locally though.

So I'd have to fetch available media from the db first, enrich it with data from TMDB and then return that as a result. But since TMDB doesn't currently offer a batch fetch endpoint (trello request), I'd have to fetch every movie detail individually, which will suck both for performance and for rate limiting.

How should I proceed?

Looks like it's something being done on upstream: sct/overseerr#3899

hello! 👋

I think my PR in overseerr doesn't really satisfy this particular feature request. Mine is simply removing items from the tmdb discover api that are already available in the db. If we were to use my implementation to do the inverse (only return items from the discover api that the plex/jellyfin server has available), there will probably be very few items.

I think @myselfolli probably has the better approach, but I think we both reached the same conclusion of it would require hammering the TMDB api 😆

Hi, sorry for the mix-up 😅
Yes, until TMDB implements the batch request endpoint that's probably not a good idea.
