Description

This PR adds a new setting "Use Radarr/Sonarr for Availability" to address an issue when UMTK and Agregarr create placeholder trailers in Plex for upcoming or missing items, the item gets matched and marked as available in Seerr, preventing requests for the 'real' item.

Because Seerr's availability logic uses OR logic (exists in Plex OR exists in Radarr/Sonarr), these placeholder files are marked as AVAILABLE even though they don't exist in Radarr/Sonarr. This would usually be the desired behaviour, and the new option is marked as Advanced to reflect that.

When the new setting is enabled:

  • Discovery: Only Radarr/Sonarr can create new media entries in Seerr
  • Availability: Media availability is determined solely by Radarr/Sonarr (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby are ignored)
  • Metadata: Plex/Jellyfin/Emby scanners still run to add metadata (ratingKey, jellyfinMediaId) to existing entries, to ensure Play on Plex button still appears
  • Cleanup: Availability sync marks placeholder-only media as UNKNOWN and clears metadata including ratingKey

Fixes #2235

How Has This Been Tested?

Built and published docker build, tested by multiple users over multiple weeks.

I didn't read the details of your implementation, but couldn't this just be done by disabling the media server related jobs (Recently Added and Full Scan jobs), and with a slight modification in the Availability Sync job?

Yeah it would work but you'd miss out on the ratingKey enrichment from Plex, meaning the Play on Plex button wouldn't ever show. This currently still runs the scan but only enriches existing media entries that radarr/sonarr have created. Happy to change it to the teams preference, but I thought this had less impact on UX.

feat(media scanning): add prioritizeRadarrSonarr setting to control m…
ebbe77a 
…edia availability checks

Introduced a new setting `prioritizeRadarrSonarr` to the main settings interface. Updated
availability sync logic to prioritize Radarr/Sonarr for media availability checks, ignoring
Plex/Jellyfin/Emby when enabled. Modified scanners to skip updates and creation of media when
`prioritizeRadarrSonarr` is enabled.
