2 years ago This would be great. I constantly get people requesting things that are either already on plex, or are in sonarr/radarr waiting to download. So in addition to knowing what media plex has, it would also be a great extra bonus to know what sonarr/radarr are already watching.

If something is already on Plex Petio should be finding it. Petio not finding it could be an issue depending on how you name your items.

Petio will never retroactively scan Sonarr or Radarr to check what media already existed. Once you request something that's already in either of the *arrs it will start tracking it. There's very little benefit to doing it any other way.

Maybe I wasn't clear, say a movie is already on plex add in radarr manually. A user is lazy and doesn't look, then they go ask for it petio just takes it instead of saying this item is already present. Petio does find media on plex added through petio. If that makes sense. And I understand the not hooking into the arrs.

2 years ago Petio should indicate if something is already in Plex. However, I have noticed that sometimes this doesn't show up and it'll need a refresh or going into a movie and back to the list or something like that.

This is an issue with your setup and not related to this. Please talk to our support team.
Describe the solution you'd like It would be handy to have a toggle for each user (perhaps with the default being set by admin) to hide and show available media. That way a user can focus on requesting new items.
Agreed this would be good and we will add it to the planned list. We will need to generate additional content for each area as to not render no results.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When browsing recommended media, it is usually overshadowed by all the already available media.

Describe alternatives you've considered As this is a pretty straightforward feature, there's not much other alternatives I can think of. Perhaps in how it gets implemented in a variety of UX ways, like not having a toggle at all and just avoiding showing available media, but I think a toggle is better.
Additional context This is a feature already available in overseerr and I quite enjoyed it. I stick with petio because of it's boolean logic request filter to servers which is way more handy, and grabbing some great features from other apps will make petio just that much more superior.
