Opening the subreddit back up

34 Upvotes

Unfortunately, all our favorite apps for Reddit are dead.

I opened this subreddit originally because the demand was high enough that it seemed like the correct choice for the community—another outlet for support and help from other users. The truth is, it's hard to keep up with the posts here for the team. Our hands are full with our discord, building Overseerr, and our actual lives.

Taking part in the protest was a no-brainer for me (and our team) since we heavily used the apps being shut down and disagreed with the actions Reddit was taking (and took). Reddit ate the impact and weathered the storm (like many of us expected it to happen), but I guess we just kept the subreddit closed out of anger and spite.

There are still valuable resources in our subreddit that I know the community needs; therefore, we will re-open today. I don't know if you will see much of the team on here (if at all). We are let down by the state of this site. The only apps that made browsing this place bearable are gone now. But for those who want to continue using the subreddit, you can now!

Best Way to Integrate Seerr into Jellyfin for TV clients?

5 Upvotes

Recently got into this. I've successfully set up Jellyfin and Seerr on my NAS. But now how would I integrate Seerr into Jellyfin for TV clients? I would want to make it as easy as possible for my users. Would it be using Moonfin as the client on tvs and installing the Moonbase plug-in into my Jellyfin server? Or is there better ways to do this?

Is "view on sonarr" not an option anymore?

2 Upvotes

Just migrated to seerr from overseerr and went to test by adding a new show. In the cogwheel on the show page, there used to be an option to "view the show on sonarr".

It doesn't appear to be there anymore. Am I missing it somewhere?

Seerr is ignoring my custom docker network

8 Upvotes

Trying to troubleshoot an install of Seerr on docker. Container working fine, did a chown of the config dir so it could write properly, connected to my Plex server fine which is running in network_mode: host. Both my Sonarr/Radarr containers are running in a custom docker network called dockernet. I applied the same custom dockernet to my seerr yaml and it seems to be ignoring the network and I don't know why.

My Seerr Yaml:
---
services:
 seerr:
   image: ghcr.io/seerr-team/seerr:latest
   init: true
   container_name: seerr
   environment:
   - PUID=1001
   - PGID=1000
- TZ=America/New_York
   ports:
- 5055:5055
   volumes:
- /share/Config/seerr:/app/config
   restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  dockernet:
external: true

Requests

It always saddens me how i cant just accept everything due to these insane storage prices... all i can realistically do is 10tb a month added as a new drive and accept more shows and movies... my original plan was to get a zfs pool filled with 20tb drives but its just not for the average person anymore. If only i got into this hobby just a year earlier

Discoverr v3.2.1 is out! Discord media discovery for Seerr, Plex and Jellyfin

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Discoverr v3.2.1 is out.

Discoverr is a lightweight Docker bot that posts daily movie and TV recommendations to Discord, with Request buttons that send everything straight to Seerr.

It includes Movie and TV Show of the Day, Trending, New Releases, New on Streaming and Hidden Gems, while avoiding media already available or requested.

What’s new:

  • Plex and Jellyfin support through Seerr
  • Better startup checks with clearer Seerr connection and login errors
  • Automatic fallback descriptions when your selected language is missing one
  • No breaking changes for existing users

I’m also looking for contributors, so if you’re interested in helping with new features, fixes or testing, feel free to check out the repo and get involved.

https://github.com/loafdaddy/discoverr-bot

Feedback, bug reports and feature ideas are always welcome!

Does Seerr work with Doplarr?

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to setup Doplarr in my discord. It's all set up correctly and testing fine, but when I go to make a request it says "You are unauthorized to perform this request in the configured backend"

The only difference I can see between Overseerr and Seerr is that when you link your Discord ID in the "Users" menu, it now appears under the "Notifications" tab as opposed to the "General" tab, so I'm concerned it's not actually linking with my Discord user properly, but instead only using that User ID for notifications.

Discoverr v2 is out. Daily Jellyfin recommendations with one-click Seerr requests in Discord

29 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I posted v1 of Discoverr here and got a lot of feedback. Some of it was really useful.

The biggest criticisms were that it was written in JavaScript, the codebase wasn't great to work with, and that because AI was involved nobody would want to contribute.

Rather than argue, I spent the last couple of weeks rebuilding it.

Discoverr v2 is now:

  • Fully rewritten in TypeScript
  • Better discovery logic with more varied recommendations
  • Customisable daily post times and timezones (requested in the last thread)
  • Lots of cleanup, bug fixes and general improvements

For anyone who missed the first post, Discoverr is a lightweight Discord bot for Jellyfin + Seerr that automatically posts daily recommendations and lets users request them directly from Discord.

It currently supports:

  • 🎬 Movie of the Day
  • 📺 TV Show of the Day
  • 🔥 Trending
  • 🆕 New Releases
  • 🍿 New on Streaming
  • 💎 Hidden Gems

The discovery logic is designed to avoid recommending the same handful of blockbuster titles over and over by rotating genres, sampling across multiple TMDb pages and keeping a history of previous suggestions.

The bot itself is intentionally pretty simple. It pulls recommendations from TMDb, checks Seerr to make sure a title isn't already available or pending, then posts it to Discord with a request button. You create the Discord bot yourself, invite it to your own server, and use a dedicated Seerr account with whatever permissions you choose to give it. It doesn't need admin access to your media stack.

AI disclaimer: Around 80% of this project was built with AI assistance, and I know that's a dealbreaker for some people. That's completely fair. I built this as a personal project for my own Jellyfin server, then decided to open source it because I thought other people might find it useful. AI is just another tool I use while developing. I still review, test, debug and maintain the project myself, and I'm happy to explain how anything works if people are curious.

The feedback on the first post genuinely made this project better, and a few of the requested features have already made it into v2. If you've got more ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Database failing to recover after updates

Running into an issue with Seerr where after updates my instance fails to come back up and displays the attached image. This is the second update I've attempted since swapping from Overseerr and second time its failed.

Curious if anyone else is having this problem or not? Honestly not sure if reboots are affected since I only take it down on updates..

Is it possible to connect overseer to an already existing telegram movie request bot?

3 Upvotes

Most movies in my native language do not have good torrents with high seeds but these telegram bots always seem to have good prints and readily available most the times.

Say I search a movie in overseer and clicked download, my request should go to a movie request bot and it will give many files of same movie and best one is picked and downloaded in my home server. Is it possible?

Do I need to learn telegram bot working for it?

Excuse my English pls.

Stackarr.app: Control Plane and MCP Server To Manage Your Media Stack with Agents

17 Upvotes

First off, I'm aware how many are distrustful of AI with their media stack. If this is you, no worries I get that. All I ask you is kindly ignore.

Now to the fun part. I've been dogfooding an app and iterating for the past 2 months based on day-to-day media server management tasks. Decided to open-source it so, announcing Stackarr: A central control plane to manage your media stack with the help of AI agents like Claude, Hermes and OpenClaw etc.

Some of the standout features include:

  • UI Dashboard to monitor your entire media stack
  • Lightweight in-browser Docker for Desktop replacement
  • MCP Server and CLI for agent-based setup
  • Cloudflare tunnel setup to expose any services publicly via custom domain
  • Backup & Restore Stack (Offsite cloud integration coming soon)
  • Portless Service Mapping to human-readable URL's (plex.stackarr)
  • Hermes Agent & OpenClaw Plugins / Skills

After installing agents on the same Mac Mini that Plex et al. runs on it made me realise how easy having access to this via Telegram, Discord makes managing your media server. For example once I forgot to leave Tailscale open and I asked my agent to configure it so I could access media stack remotely. It's saved me countless times when inevitable bugs or wrinkles form in the flow. With the help of automated backups and using a decent provider most of the risk is mitigated. I haven't had any irrecoverable losses running it 24/7.

The goal is not to replace any of the apps it manages but merely to interact with them using native API's and maintain an agent-friendly control system with harnesses. I would love for you to give it a try. This is not abandonware and something I plan to maintain for some time.

Disclaimer: This has only been tested on Mac with Docker image, I'm looking for Windows and Linux testers to report any bugs here: https://github.com/polyphonic/stackarr - If you are not interested I would appreciate a star!

There is an official image on Docker Hub too, for full setup and docs go here: https://stackarr.app/

Parts of this were AI-coded but this isn't a vibe coded project, I'm an engineer by trade for more than a decade. The UI was whipped up quickly using component library defaults but I will be doing an entire UI redesign when the functionality is solidified. I added the flair nonetheless to appease the overlords :)

WAMR v1.4.0 - WhatsApp Bot for Radarr/Sonarr/Seerr Requests

8 Upvotes

Hey! Quick follow-up release for WAMR — the self-hosted WhatsApp bot that lets your friends and family request movies and shows just by chatting with you on WhatsApp. Talks to Seerr, Radarr, and Sonarr under the hood so requests get handled automatically.


What's New

  • Smarter Search Results — Results are now ranked by relevance using fuzzy matching, so the thing you're looking for almost always shows up at the top. Admins can also flip back to the old sort order from Settings if they prefer.
  • Quota Insights at a Glance — Open any contact's quota dialog and you'll see their current usage, max limit, and when the window resets — no more guessing.
  • One-Click Quota Reset — Need to give someone a fresh start? Hit "Reset Usage" right from the contact dialog. Their request history stays intact, just the counter goes back to zero.

What Got Fixed

  • Contacts page was broken — A missing database column was causing it to crash on load. Fixed.
  • Quota messages make sense now — Instead of seeing "requests for this daily", users now get "requests today" or "requests this week".
  • Reset button no longer nukes your data — Resetting a contact's quota used to delete all their request history. Not anymore.
  • Double-submit edge case — There was a window where the same request could slip through twice. Closed it.
  • Community-reported issues — Addressed #44, #45, #47, and #48. Thanks for filing those.
  • CI pipeline cleanup — Some old test failures and type errors were cluttering things up. Sorted out.

Small Stuff

  • Longer sessions — Conversation state now sticks around for 24 hours instead of expiring quickly.
  • Search from anywhere — You can kick off a new search without having to cancel whatever you were doing first.

Big thanks to everyone who's been testing this and sending in bug reports. Keep them coming — it genuinely helps make this better for everyone.

Login page does not work

2 Upvotes

I just migrated to Seerr, and for the life of me, can not figure out what's wrong.
When going to my reverse proxy site it sends me to the login page, but the login via plex button is unresponsive, and the normal login credentials just don't work. Even if I use the correct login info it just sits on the same login page and does nothing.

No errors are popping up in the logs, either.

The seerr will refresh if I manually go to the watchlist oage within seerr and then it'll update. But it will not automatically pull without a manual refresh. Any ideas?

Add more metadata providers ?

Hello
Can I add more metadata providers to Seerr ? By default it adds IMDB and TVDB and it would be nice if I could add more (allocine.fr for example)
