Have "Scan for Availability" for Radarr/Sonarr ignore media server Availability

Question or Issue

The "Scan for Availability" options trigger Ombi to check Radarr and Sonarr for availability. However Ombi still also checks the media server for availability. In my case Plex.
Ideally, if these options are enabled for one of the Arrs, Ombi should prioritize the availability in the Arrs over that of the media Server.

Use case:

Using UMTK we can create a "Coming Soon" category within Plex, for items expected to become available within x days in Radarr/Sonarr. UMTK Then creates a placeholder file, pulls the item out of the "recently added" section in Plex and moves it into a "Coming Soon" collection with an added overlay to indicate when it's expected to become available.

Plex in this case technically thinks it's available, as the item is there. Radarr/Sonarr however correctly see the items as Missing.

Currently, Ombi will mark such items as 'available' because Plex thinks it is. With the "Scan for Availability" option set for Radarr/Sonarr, Ombi should ideally check the Arrs for the availability, over Plex.

Example:

The movie "Ballad of a Small Player" is expected to become available on october 28th (in the future at time of writing). UMTK has created the placeholder file for it and has moved the movie into the Coming Soon collection with an overlay indicating the expected availability date:

Radarr correctly shows the movie as "Missing", since the actual movie hasn't been downloaded yet:

However Ombi marks the movie as "Available" because it's present in Plex:

With "Scan for Availability" enabled for Radarr, Ombi should ideally identify this movie as being missing as is the availability status in Radarr.

+1 would love to see this implemented. need a way to only look at -arr suite or media server (user configurable) for availability

[tidusjar]

If you always want the *arr's to take priority, why even connect the media server to Ombi?

Watchlist requests and users can login via plex

Let me know what it's like on v4.53.0

[PJGitHub9]

On v4.53.0, i see the option there now and enabled to prioritize radarr/sonarr, but when i go to search a movie it shows as available still and cant request

[netplexflix]

Doesn't seem to work atm:

[tidusjar]

The existing shows that were previously marked as available will not change. This will take affect for new media

[PJGitHub9]

Tried to delete a movie trailer, ran a "full sync" and it showed as not available in ombi. Then added the trailer again to plex and ran a "full resync" in ombi and movie shows as available again

[netplexflix]

Same for me I'm afraid.

• completely removed items from Plex (both movies and tv shows)
• did clear & resync in Ombi
• Ombi correctly marks them as unavailable
• re-added items to Plex (still missing in the Arrs)
• Ombi marks them as available again

+1 ,this would also be helpful to avoid the same problem as above when users create placeholders in Agregarr

Found the issue, should be fixed now. Apologies about the delay
