[Request] Country Restrictions (lemmy.ml)

Would it be possible to add a note of any countries the movie is restricted to in the title bar (eg, USA only, or Not in UK, Japan etc)? Or at very least in the post body text?

This is something that could help people from feeling frustated if they find a film here that they might want to watch, only to click and have the "this content is not available in your country" pop up appear.

Thanks

Great idea, but I'm not sure how to know that for any of these videos. Is it shown somewhere in YT?

Doing a bit of research (and checking with a video of the Arsenal vs MLS All Stars game yesterday), this link can be used to check which regions the video is restricted from:

Thanks! and it looks like that web page works with URLs like this:

E.g.: https://polsy.org.uk/stuff/ytrestrict.cgi?ytid=a2YZ9GwSkxI

People can use this manually for now, but I am also trying to create a bot for community management in general. I will add this idea to the wish list for that bot.
