External Streaming information from themoviedb

It would be great, if along with the link to "the movie db" under links at the bottom of a series or a movie, if you could add "TheMovieDBWatchInfo" which is the same url except with "/watch" added

Themoviedb has partnered with just watch, and you can now see where something is streaming.

Hi, sounds interesting. We'll have to keep an eye on it.

If something is already on my server, why would I care where it can be streamed?

Check to see if a better quality version is avialable?

Largely where I could see it being used is in the "Missing episodes" world.

How so?  No streaming platform (what this will show) is going to allow you to download it.

I'm kinda with Crusher on this.  Not sure I see the point for items in your library already.

How would you know to go looking for better copies of what you already have if you dont realize a better version already exists?

its ok not to do it, but I pretty regularly check to see if higher resolution versions are out there, and now adays its more likely on a streaming platform than physical media.

1. Streaming availability is not the arbiter of this. 

2. If you have to open it in Emby, then click on the streaming availability link, it's not going to actively alert you to anything. You can manually do the same check by simply going to JustWatch in the first place. It doesn't save you any steps.

3. Emby is not a piracy service.
