Hi @everyone!
Time for a pretty big update! Behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly cooking up something exciting, and we’re finally ready to share it: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are merging into one team called Seerr! This has been in the works for quite some time, and we couldn’t be happier to officially join forces.
What does that mean for you? A single unified codebase where all the latest Jellyseerr features will make their way in, plus the combined effort means we can move faster on new features and keep things more up to date.
We’re sharing this news a little early because we need beta testers before our first release. If you’d like to help shape the future of this project (and move us towards a quicker first release), now’s your chance!
To test, you can switch from our official image to
fallenbagel/jellyseerr:preview-seerrWe do not recommend using this on a production instance, but if you do, please back up your data before switching. For any questions or feedback, please post in our #seerr-beta channel!
Well done, thank you.
I’d love text information like this to be copy pasted for a couple of bytes instead of sharing screenshots of text like some filthy boomer.Oh wow, that’s one way to get me to never post anything here ever again. Sorry for being a “filthy boomer”, even though I’m not even a boomer
Hey, I didn’t mean that as an insult to you. It’s just a minor annoyance I wanted to share. If it sounded too harsh I’m sorry.
Way too aggressive for a “minor annoyance” but don’t worry, between your comment and the other guy telling me not post here again I won’t bother with such a toxic community
Don’t give up. Unfortunately some people are utter shitheads, even on lemmy. I appreciated your post :3
You not posting again would be appreciated.
Come back when you post links and text (not images of text). Its bad lemmyquite to post low effort
Typical user with no posts complaining about users actually making posts.
Please cheerr.
Both teams working together as peerrs
should buy them some beerrs.
Quitt iittt 😭
Grrrr
Remind me what this does?
Allows your users to request media. Integrates with Plex/jellyfin/emby and the arrs
So you request something torrent something for you?
I’m not sure I understand what you just said. It allows users to request movies or TV shows and shows them what your media player already has available. If you interested it with the arrs it will add it and optionally initiate a search. https://docs.seerr.dev/
So… Seerr requests something (what? how?) to torrent stuff on your behalf?
The *arr suite is a bunch of media management software that can integrate with different sites to download torrents. This lets your users (friends and family) request stuff to download without having access to your *arrs
Aaah, ok. I think I’m slowly starting to get it. Also, this video helped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_MwE0Z3CE
So you run radarr to pickup movies and sonarr for shows, instead of having both open for all of your users, you just run jellyseerr and you and your users can use that to discover and send requests to the other *arrs
Yes. It has a convenient and easy to use interface for requestiong movies and shows. It then sends those requests to Sonarr, Radarr, who sent it to your torrent client and so on.
It gives you and the users of your jellyfin instance a nice UI dashboard to search and request movies/series. The requests then get handed off to radarr/sonarr for downloading via your downloader (e.g. Sabnzb)
Instead of having to go into the less polished sonarr/radarr that would also expose some settings that you might not want other users to change, you get a nice dashboard. Similar to how you’d browse on a streaming site.
It shows you currently popular movies/shows and upcoming highly anticipated ones, you can search for a specific movie and when you click on it you get a helpful site. It displays all kinds of info similar to jellyfin, like cast, tags, relevant other movies, links to sites like rotten tomatoes or letterboxd, and so on. You can also search for persons and it’ll show you what they’ve been in/have produced. And when you want something you can easily request a download in your preferred quality setting.
You also may limit what and how requests from different users are handled.
Can it be used without arr-integrations? As just a way to keep track of stuff users would love to have available, but currently isn’t?
Yes, users don’t even need a jelly profile.
Missed the chance to call it Jelloseerr
It’s Jellover now
Ok, asking for a friend, where’s a list of what all these arrs are now, as
I’mthey’re getting confused now.news via discord
Holy based!
The future is now, old man.
it’s cool for companies to invade my privacy and use my messages as AI training data!
Whatever you say, kiddo.
/s
Awesome
missed opportunity to call Joséérr
“and we are thereforerenaming the project Joséer González”
Overseerr was in unannounced on hold anyway, I read it as Jelly people just taking the helm. Great news!
Maybe now I can finally put it to work on my homelab.
What does it do over jellyfin tho? It seems like another front-end for it.
No, Jellyseerr is a selfhosted webapp where you request movies and shows, which will be searched and downloaded by your configured Sonarr/Radarr, which will populate your Jellyfin.
You can see it as a user-friendly Sonarr+Radarr front-end, that you can sync with Jellyfin users, so they can go and request content directly without you manually adding things in Radarr/Sonarr.
Never understood the purpose of any of the arr stack. Finding the torrent is fun for me. I only need like three trackers.
Even though you enjoy searching for the torrents, you can’t understand why people would like it completely automated?
When it takes zero time to find a torrent, no I cannot understand needing a service to save ten seconds
You don’t understand the purpose of automation?
I don’t want to fuck around on a few sites just to watch something ‘right now’. My setup let’s me request any media I want and it’ll get pulled, scraped, and made available to me, my friends, and family near instantly.
Not to mention if you want to watch something (only available) ‘in the future’ it’ll automatically get pulled when available.
Downloading a torrent manually does the same thing. Right now is still waiting for the download
I never understood how to install any of it. In the time it’d take me to understand any of it, I’d have found 200 torrents. 😂
It kind of reminds me of my attempts at automating a simple, repetitive task on the desktop, and in the middle of it I’m like “fuck this!” and just end up doing it manually, and faster.
Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.
All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.
Right! I did the work to do it but found it a waste of time. It takes ten seconds to find what I want why do I need fifty eleven servers to do that for me
