Streaming availability filters
Allow "include" view option based on streaming availability. Only videos available to stream (on the sites we have access to) are displayed.
If we could include/exclude videos based on availability, SIMKL would be the go-to source when trying to decide what to watch.
My list doesn't help much if it's littered with things I want to see, but can't watch.
Working on adding streaming availability filters in V2 Beta by your favorites or specific streaming service in specific countries.

Is there any update to this request? It's getting very annoying to see a show I'm interested in watching, only to discover that it either isn't streaming at all in my country, or it is, but it's on a service I don't intend to subscribe to.

Any progress on this? This is the only feature I can find that keeps me from switching from Trakt.

I think the platform needs a new filter: currently, there is a "network" filter that lets you separate Netflix, Disney, and other streaming platforms in the TV series section, but this filter is missing from the Movies and Anime sections.
My suggestion is to add the same "network" filter to Movies and Anime, not just for original content, but to show where a movie or anime is available to stream or purchase. This way, users could easily find all titles available on services like Netflix without having to open each movie's page and scroll to the local services section to check availability.
In summary, making the platform filterable by streaming service for Movies and Anime—just like it is for TV series—would save time and improve the user experience.

Don't forget that this has to be done per country: in Europe, every platform runs differents catalogue for each country!!!
So basically, the SIMKL user has to have not only to specify for which platforms he wants to get the availability, but also the country ;-)

The site Reelgood does this. I've switched to using that site for tracking TV and movies. It even emails you when a new episode or movie you want to see becomes available on your streaming services.

I would love it if I could indicate that I have Netflix and Amazon prime, etc, then when I'm looking at my list I can see which things are available on one of those services.
