I would like Plex to show my entire library by including movies I own on other providers. If i want to watch one, Plex could launch the URL to that content (but not handle streaming). This way I can see movies I already own, even though it’s hosted somewhere else.
Example: I own movies on Vudu, I just want to have them shown in my library, but not stream them via Plex. Without this feature I have to move back and forth between vendors to know what’s in my ‘total’ library. Plex would be great to highlight and showcase which movies I own regardless of where the movies are “stored”
An automated listing would be awesome (e.g. Plex reads data directly from the vendor), but a minimal approach might be to have a local file that identifies the movie, and allow Plex be able to launch a URL link to the vendors content instead of trying to stream the content – that would be straightforward to implement?
Again it would be a challenge to have Plex stream from another vendor, that’s not the request.
