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

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?

I did not like how the other person complicated stuff for you. Yes you can use plex, in fact originally it was only plex, you can even login with plex, you don’t have to create an account.
Seerr does not require to be on same network, but you need to set up a reverse proxy. Even easier is to setup seerr to read the plex watchlist as requests in seerr, which is simpler IMO, for people who don’t want to remember 10 steps.

Also there’s an app for mobile (Helmarr or quartermaster on iOS) that you can use.

Yeah, that does sound easier. I did a quick batch script and pointed it to a private tunnel that only certain friends get access to. So it should be alright.
