Available Now Shows Rumored and Planned Movies

The new (?) “Available Now” section in Lite does also show movies in state “Rumored” or “Planned”.

Otherwise I really like this view and would like to have it in the (iOS) app as well. My watchlist is not as useful, because it just shows a few movies starting in 2028 :wink:

@e38383 Definately should not happen! Looking at my own personal list I can’t seem to find any item displayed which isn’t released.

Currently we do filter out movies based on air date but there might be some edge case (or corrupt dates in the DB) we haven’t considered.

I would appreciate it if you could share at least 1 movie in which this issue is visible so that I can identify the root cause.

It was definitely not only one, so there got something fixed between my report and today. Now I only have one movie left which is „wrong“: Trakt Lite:. This one has a premiere date in 2016, so that looks „right“ to be in the list.

(edit)
I did find a few more, but all with wrong dates:

The movie you linked first, ‘Police Academy: Next Generation’ doesn’t seem to actually exist. That page had been removed from TMDB, our datasource, so it needed to be removed on our end as well. I’ve removed it now.

‘Silver Sable’ and ‘Freak Shift’ also didn’t have a page on TMDB, so they were also removed.
The last one you linked ‘Half-Life’ was a duplicate of: Half-Life, so I merged the data.
‘Garrison7: War Is Coming’ exists on TMDB and doesn’t have any airdates there. If that one shows up in your ‘Available Now’ then it’s probably a bug.

You can report any movies or shows with wrong dates in the original version of the website, and I’ll take a look.
If even after the data is fixed, they are still showing up on ‘Available Now’, the developers will take a look.

Thanks for reporting those pages!

I‘m a watchlist-hoarder :wink: Everything that sounds remotely interesting I put on there to be reminded if it ever comes out. So, that‘s totally legit that there are outdated or even plain wrong movies on there.

Everything apart from Garrison7 seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
