Add permission to allow only requesting 1 season at a time

Open Loetwiek opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

Description

Some of my users like requesting all seasons of a show and then proceed to watch only the first few episodes. I'd like to have more control over if users can request multiple seasons, or just one.

Desired Behavior

I want to add a permission "Request multiple seasons at once", if enabled it will show the overview as it currently stands. If this is disabled, you can only select 1 season at a time. See mockup below:

Additional Context

I'm planning on making this feature myself, just looking to get some feedback first.

This would be nice, real nice! Currently, the "way around" for me has been to limit the number of requests, which forces my family members to be polite with their requests. 😇

Did you already start working on this?

Do you plan to add a delay until you can request another season, like a day or so? Otherwise they could just request a season and then request the others right after.

Just my $0.02, but I'd like it to also go the other way. I have limited overall requests to N per week or whatever and I'd like certain users to be able to request all seasons of a series even if their limit only has 1 left.

This would be nice! I run prefetcharr so there's no reason to request more than one season anyway.

Would be awesome if this applied to Plex watchlist requests as well!

+1 for this request. I also have people who request old series with crazy amounts of episodes and only watch a bit.

+1 on this, If it has not been started I can have a crack at adding this.
