Feature Request: Add release-date restrictions for movie requests
I would love to see an option in Seer to restrict movie requests based on release date.
The idea would be to let admins set a minimum waiting period before users can request newly released movies. For example, an admin could set a rule that prevents movies from being requested until 2 weeks after their theatrical or digital release date, or whatever time period the admin chooses.
It would also be great if the user-facing button could reflect this. Instead of just showing “Request” on unavailable titles, it could say something like:
“Request on [date]”
To me, this would be really useful because I do not like adding a lot of brand-new movies into Radarr that just sit in the queue. New releases often have issues early on, including fake files, bloated releases, incorrect naming, poor quality, or mismatched files.
Having an admin-controlled delay would help keep Radarr cleaner, reduce bad grabs, and give admins more control over when new movies become requestable while still showing users when they will be able to request them.
Anyone else think this would be an amazing tool?
