add Where to watch

Hi,
I suggest you add additional information to the movie and tv series where to watch (netflix, HBO, Disney etc..)....

If you can't watch it on Emby, why is it on Emby? This makes no sense.

Pax,
Just put this link on your bookmark list and click it to find where to watch some content: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/

This service is not just a simple webpage.  Each button must link with separate data sources, pricing needs to be updated differently for each user coming from other countries.  Large social media web sites add this feature to draw in users as part of their whole service.  They make their money from advertising and possibly memberships.  Getting a page like this to work for multiple Emby platforms could easily take several weeks of design plus development time and it would have to be supported as a feature which means all the separate data feeds have to be setup, possibly paid a fee, supported and fixed.  Maybe a ballpark estimate of total cost to add it in could easily exceed $10,000 and cost additional maybe $1000 per year to keep current.  It depends on who is working on what.  Why would Emby users want this when you can easily find this info elsewhere?

It's good to mention new ideas. Continue to do this.  Some features like this are, I think, fairly impractical.  I am just an outside developer, who does not work with Emby and this is just my opinion.

Because I have Disney +, HBO Max, Netflix and I delete from my disk backups movies because I have it on streaming providers.
I just gave my idea, it is not necessary for it to come true.

This would be good for if you have a TV series that is incomplete in your collection. Lets say you only have 2 seasons of a 3 season show, when you click on the show it has a section that says "Seasons 1-2 available on Emby ", "Watch Season 3 via Hulu". So if someone is watching a show and they want to continue to seasons you don't have yet they will know which streaming service to use to watch the remaining seasons. 

Not sure how plausible this is but I see when you look a show up on google they have a similar Where To Watch section, you might be able to utilize that
