[Feature Request] Option to notify users for the digital release date of movies if the movie was added to the collections

[32423d]

Several movies are now initially releasing in theaters and then on digital streaming platforms on a later date. It would be nice if there is an option to make the app send reminder notifications if a movie had a digital release and if it was added to the collections. I am not sure if this feature would be possible but Trakt.tv does list release dates for both theatrical releases and digital releases for movies on their website but I am not sure if the data can be called from the Trakt.tv API.

@32423d It can be called from the API but only for a single Movie. In that case I doubt I will be implementing this along with notifications as this would mean that the whole collection of movies would need to be monitored and API-called separately to check if new date appears/changes.

@michaldrabik @32423d In this case, I believe having the option to display a theatrical release date or a digital release date will be very useful.

Perhaps this could be a thing to enable on a movie-by-movie basis for daily API checks? Perhaps include a warning to not overuse it for the sake of app performance and serverside costs? Meh, still sounds risky -- if Trakt finds Showly users overuse API they may block it

The information about theatrical and digital release will probably make it to the app sooner or later. Just not along with scanning whole collection and notifying.

I would love this as a filter in "Watchlist" and "Discover" sections, to show only those results that have a digital release. I personally i'm not interested in the notifying part.
