About Jellyseerr

Jellyseerr, now developed as Seerr, sits in front of Jellyfin, Plex or Emby and gives everyone who uses your server a friendly place to browse and request things. Requests go to Sonarr and Radarr automatically once approved, and the library scan means titles you already have are marked as available rather than requested again.

It handles authentication and user import from the media server, granular permissions, per-season requests for shows, watchlisting and blocklisting, and notifications through a long list of services. It runs on PostgreSQL or SQLite and the interface works properly on a phone, which matters when you are approving requests away from the desk.

Strengths

  • Full Jellyfin, Emby and Plex integration including authentication and user import
  • Requests pass straight to Sonarr and Radarr once approved
  • Library scan marks what you already have, so nothing is requested twice
  • Granular permissions and a mobile-friendly interface for approving on the go

Limitations

  • Requires a media server plus Sonarr or Radarr to be useful
  • One more service to host, update and secure
  • The project has been renaming to Seerr, so documentation and links are in flux
  • Currently Linux and container deployments rather than a desktop app
