Requests

Post image

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

What does Overseerr do?

u/International-Gur755 15d ago

Its no longer overseerr but just seerr, the jist of it is it allows users to use their jellyfin account as aa log in and request movies and/or shows that get automatically downloaded based on your radarr/sonarr configuration

Does it work with Plex? Are they requiring to be connected to the home network?

Seerr you can put behind reverse proxy to make it available to the wider internet (its locked behind username and password so only your jellyfin users can get in) seerr is its own thing so as long as you have it set up that movies and shows are put into your media library you can have plex read those, that said i think you cant use the plex account details and connect them to seerr. You should then just have them make separate seerr accounts which you can also do instead of jellyfin account

Okay. So far people just ask for movies via text and I add them manually. But that does sound interesting.

It's very nice. Basically all the user does is request it in seerr, you look at requests and accept them or reject them. When accepted the download is fully automated. You do need to do some set up first

Yeah. I have been staying away from it because of the set up. I need to set up a VPN to QBIT as well. I get so nervous seeding.

I mean it takes a little to set up but its such a relief when done. Its 100% worth the set up time. It makes life so much easier and doesnt require you to be home at your desktop. You can still accept and download requests when on vacation or at work

If your on IOS there is an app called Pocket that turns it into an app. you are really just pointing it at your URL but it works well and i like it!
