Why does the tvOS App not show Collections? Or even the collected status of a movie or series?

I have a collection that is large enough that I can forget everything I have, and would really value being able to see if I already own something when I browsing for something to watch.

It’s not exactly highest priority right now but I can see the value for sure and I imagine shouldn’t be that hard to port over to tvOS, just no ETAs right now.

Would you expect something similar to what we have with history right now, where it shows you the tick even on the main screens? or just within the show/movie page, etc?

Understood regarding priorities.

I wouldn’t expect to see a mark on the main screen. I see it as being treated more like a list, so you would have a section titled COLLECTED - maybe under the profile tab.

Also, in the item screen, where you have ‘Watch now’, ‘Mark as Watched’ and ‘Add to watchlist’, there should be a ‘Collected’ action button (when not collected, changes to ‘Add to collection’, and allows collected items to be removed).

This would remove 1 of my pain points, of which I have 2 right now.

  1. Where I search for something to watch, I sometimes forget things I already have collected. I’d prefer to watch items I have collected, as they are inevitably higher quality than streamed.
  2. I have to go to another app to then find and watch the item.

This would solve the first, which for me would be a massive quality of life improvement.

The second would may be another future improvement, where you could launch a collected item from the ‘Collected’ action - in my case this would be to launch Infuse, which is what I use to watch my media collection (if this is possible). I realise this is probably a bigger ask, which was why I didn’t mention it initially - but maybe it too could go in the backlog.
