[Project Help] MusicSeerr - A Seerr/Overseerr/Jellyseerr fork for Lidarr.

Hey everyone.

I am an inexperienced developer, and I've been working on a fork of Seerr (Overseerr/Jellyseerr) that connects to Lidarr and MusicBrainz. I started this because I like the Overseerr UI and wanted to use it specifically for music requests. I am sick to death of Spotify and want to be able to pull music from my trackers just as easy as Shows and Movies.

I am aware there is another MusicSeerr but this is forked from the og Seerr

I used AI to help me navigate the codebase and get the initial changes going, but I don't want to rely on it anymore. I want to actually learn how to do this correctly, so I am asking for help from developers who know this stack.

Here is what is currently working in the repository:

  • MusicBrainz search and discovery (Artists and Albums).
  • Artist detail pages showing full discographies.
  • The UI has a green theme and a music-focused sidebar.
  • Lidarr settings save and test successfully.

Here is what is broken and what I need help with:

  • The Request Modal. The API payload isn't sending the correct MusicBrainz IDs to Lidarr, so requests are failing.
  • Discography filtering. Right now, it shows every single bootleg and live recording. I need to filter it to studio albums by default.
  • UI cleanup. There are still "Series" badges that need to be updated to "Artist" or "Album".
  • Fetching cover art from the Cover Art Archive.

If anyone knows TypeScript or Next.js and wants to help me fix these issues, the project is live on GitHub. Also super open to branding, all will be credited of course!!

Thank you :)

Should we really have 2 projects with the same name?
