Remove Seasons that are on Netflix or Amazon Prime

Feature Requests

I for one, would like an automated system that would remove a season of a series that is on Netflix, Prime or any other service. I have a habit of not realizing these are on there, and so I am wasting space on a hard drive when I don’t need to. I’m all for the people who make these shows to get their money from the streaming pay models, as I am not in America and can wait up to a year to see episodes of TV shows I like, so this would help me save HDD space and give back as well :smile:.

Anyone else feel the same way?

The issue is how does Sonarr know?

I dont’ really see it happening b/c I don’t see any of those services being friendly to something scraping them. :wink:

But I’m not a programmer.

Netflix gave out API’s before removing them in November, those companies still have access to the API so no scraping is needed.

CanIStream.it has an python API that someone made and would go well with Sonarr.

This also searches through services I hadn’t even thought of. If you could have a tab that listed each of these services, and it had a check list of each of them that could be enabled to make sure episodes were not downloading when not needed, this would be my favorite feature!

The same suggestion came up on Trello, it will become a big problem if its streamable in one region and not another and what happens if its removed from netflix/made unavailable later?

I’ve added it as a bonus here: https://trello.com/c/0eiAYXSg/240-auto-delete-episodes-after-certain-criteria-is-met - we’ll re-evaluate it when we start work on it and see if we still want it.
