I’d like to see a simple green check mark icon (replacing the recording icon) on the DVR guide when that item (TV show or movie) is already in your library. And would be nice then when I click to open the details of the item if some of the details from the current library item were reflected Example: would be the running time… ```auto 2hr - 1:33* ``` Could also add collection information. ---

2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Show in DVR Guide, which movies/episodes are already in library](https://forums.plex.tv/t/show-in-dvr-guide-which-movies-episodes-are-already-in-library/236817): > > For making it easier to choose, what to record, it would be nice, if in guide it would show what you already have in your libraries. And also like there is an other poll for show what is already in recording schedule to avoid duplicate recordings. Also add “get info” for items that it shows already in library (it would be fast to check if previous version is better/similar quality/or worse and you could choose if you want to record that new one from TV).
