My apple movie library is reaching almost 900 titles. I accidentally purchased a duplicate title back in December without referencing my library list. Thankfully it was only a $4-$7 title but it messes with my OCD to have identical movies. I understand if studio licensing changes and the other copy becomes obsolete to "buy". I have suggested apple add an Apple TV system enhancement to provide a notice if a suspected duplicate title is about to be purchased. I have seen this notification pop up if you attempt to purchase a movie bundle with a title you already own. This notice allows you to either continue with the purchase or not. I dont understand why they cannot add this simple enhancement feature if studio licensing changes on a title.

However the atv app does somewhat resolve this very issue, now I’m not sure it’ll prompt you own relevant titles within a boxset upon purchase but separately the relisted title will show you own the title all be it still the previous listing.
