## Hide Requested Media

When enabled, media that has been requested (but not yet available) will not appear on the "Discover" home page, or in the "Recommended" or "Similar" categories or other links on media detail pages.

Requested media will still appear in search results, however, so it is possible to locate and view hidden items by searching for them by title.

This setting is **disabled** by default.

## Allow Partial Series Requests

When enabled, users will be able to submit requests for specific seasons of TV series. If disabled, users will only be able to submit requests for all unavailable seasons.

Adding leftJoinAndSelect('media.requests', 'requests') in getRelatedMedia will load full MediaRequest entities for every discover/search result. Because MediaRequest has eager relations (e.g. requestedBy, modifiedBy, seasons), this can significantly increase payload size and may expose requester user details in endpoints that previously only returned mediaInfo.status. Consider returning a lightweight signal instead (e.g., relation count / existence of non-declined/non-completed requests via loadRelationCountAndMap, or a subquery that selects only request IDs/statuses) rather than selecting the full relation.

Suggested change
.leftJoinAndSelect('media.requests', 'requests')

.loadRelationCountAndMap('media.requestCount', 'media.requests')

This requested-media filter relies on mediaInfo.requests.length without considering request status, so titles with only DECLINED (and possibly COMPLETED/FAILED) request history will be hidden as well. It would be safer to treat a title as requested only when it has an active request (e.g., status not DECLINED/COMPLETED), or derive this from mediaInfo.status if that’s the canonical state.

Suggested change

i.mediaInfo?.status === MediaStatus.AVAILABLE ||

The hideRequested filter currently applies i.mediaType === 'movie' || i.mediaType === 'tv' as part of the filter predicate, which means any non-movie/TV results (e.g. person results in Trending) will be filtered out entirely when this setting is enabled. Adjust the predicate so non-movie/TV results are preserved and the requested check is only applied to movie/TV items.

Suggested change
titles = titles.filter(
(i) =>
(i.mediaType === 'movie' || i.mediaType === 'tv') &&
(i.mediaInfo?.status === MediaStatus.AVAILABLE ||
i.mediaInfo?.status === MediaStatus.PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE ||
!i.mediaInfo?.requests ||
i.mediaInfo.requests.length === 0)
);
titles = titles.filter((i) => {
// Preserve non-movie/TV results (e.g. people), and only apply
// the requested/availability checks to movie and TV items.
if (i.mediaType !== 'movie' && i.mediaType !== 'tv') {
return true;

hideRequested treats any existing request record as "requested" (requests.length > 0), which will also hide items that only have DECLINED (and potentially COMPLETED/FAILED) historical requests. Consider filtering requests by status (e.g., exclude DECLINED/COMPLETED) or basing this on mediaInfo.status so only actively-requested items are hidden.

Suggested change
titles = titles.filter(
(i) =>
(i.mediaType === 'movie' || i.mediaType === 'tv') &&
(i.mediaInfo?.status === MediaStatus.AVAILABLE ||
i.mediaInfo?.status === MediaStatus.PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE ||
!i.mediaInfo?.requests ||
i.mediaInfo.requests.length === 0)
);
titles = titles.filter((i) => {
// Only consider movies and TV shows for hideRequested; keep others.
if (i.mediaType !== 'movie' && i.mediaType !== 'tv') {
return true;
}
const status = i.mediaInfo?.status;
// Hide only items that are actively requested (e.g., pending or processing).
// Items with only historical (declined/completed) requests will not be hidden.
return (
status !== MediaStatus.PENDING &&
status !== MediaStatus.PROCESSING
);
