For people who have difficulty reading this (small screens, larger screens, screen readers, etc)

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-seerr

We 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!

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?

[-] plantsmakemehappy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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?

[-] Dhs92@piefed.social 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] golli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 7 months ago

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.

Awesome

[-] Ugurcan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Overseerr was in unannounced on hold anyway, I read it as Jelly people just taking the helm. Great news!

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

Ok, asking for a friend, where's a list of what all these arrs are now, as ~~I'm~~ they're getting confused now.
