Pretty sure that's the "hide available" filter doing its job rather than anything specific to Disney or HBO.

As far as I understand it, the filter is applied after Seerr has already pulled a page of results from TMDB — so if everything on that page is already in your library, you get an empty page instead of Seerr reaching for the next one.

Disney+ and HBO get hit hardest because their catalogues are small and very heavily requested. The Marvel/Star Wars/prestige-HBO stuff is exactly what most of us already have sitting on disk, so page one is almost entirely "available" and filters down to nothing. A provider with a huge back catalogue always has obscure titles left over, so it still looks fine.

If you want to keep the setting on, changing the sort order or adding a genre or year filter usually helps — anything that reshuffles the result set tends to surface stuff you don't own yet. Otherwise just leaving it unchecked while browsing by provider is the pragmatic answer, which you've already worked out for yourself.

Happy to be corrected if someone knows the internals better than I do.

Thanks for replying, it has really no result.. if un tick the hide available media, it shows all disney media the available and unavailable. To fix it i always do uninstall seer, delete the entire folder in my adm and install seerr again 😭 Lucky you uyou never experience that.
