Yea they announced it months ago, but the first release of seerr just dropped today.

I hate how fragmented they are. I've given up on various guides out there for 'setting up the arr stack' because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn't even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.

It's a beautiful UI for requesting content where you don't go into the details of arrs. Great if you have other family members you want to allow to request things.

Yes.

No kidding! Copy and paste the contents of the previous container to a new directory for the new container, sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /path/to/new/directory, docker pull the new image, and Bob's your uncle. I'm so relieved I didn't have to reconfigure all the *arr integrations and whatnot within the web GUI all over again

Overseerr required Plex. It was forked into Jellyseerr to allow Emby and Jellyfin accounts. Now Overseerr and Jellyseer merge into one tool called Seerr that combines the features. So no.

Afaik Jellyfin and Emby use the same authentication so by adding Jellyfin support Emby automatically works too.

No debrid support, this is for connecting to the Arrs services which work for either torrents or usenet.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

Media requester for Plex and Jellyfin. But also tells you where things are streaming. A mix between IMDB and JustWatch.

Overseer was for Plex
Jellyseer was for Jellyfin

Now we have Seer one platform to do both.

If you just host for yourself, you don’t gain that much by using Seerr, besides having a nicer UI and you have more search filters compared to Sonarr and Radarr.

However, if you have multiple users, you benefit a lot of it. Users, which have individual user accounts, can request media. Depending on the configuration, those requests have to be accepted manually, which gives you a way to still be in control of what ends up on your server. The user then gets notified about what has happened and if the media was downloaded.

I've tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they're popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That's the nice thing - there's a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what's important.

That said, I don't remember which ones these are, but I think it began with "Sonarr" to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)
