We're excited to announce a major update: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are officially merging into a single team called Seerr. This unification marks an important step forward as we bring our efforts together under one banner.

For users, this means one shared codebase combining all existing Overseerr functionalities with the latest Jellyseerr features, along with Jellyfin and Emby support, allowing us to deliver updates more efficiently and keep the project moving forward.

Please check how to migrate to Seerr in our migration guide and stay tuned for more updates on the project!

Can this be used with i2p and anonymous torrenting?

Moved from overseerr to jellyseerr. Now from jellyseerr to seerr.

I don't quite get what this is supposed to do. Is it basically a software to allow jellyfin/plex users to request media without needing a radarr/sonarr account?

[–] IzzuThug@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Also great for finding trending content, ratings, trailers, and also all the work an actor/actress has done.

[–] 1984@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Basically yes. My father can log into Overseer with his Plex account, so no new account and password, and request movies or tv shows which I can approve manually or pre-approve. I don't have to give him admin access to my Sonarr or Radarr and the user interface is quite friendly.

[–] gravitas@lem.ugh.im 1 points 2 days ago

sonarr and radarr only have support for a single account wich among other things exposes api keys.

Seerr lets you have users with the same login as they use for jellyfin (or plex?) To request content and the server admin can approve or deny rhe request.

I’ve missed both projects. What were they? Are they like Jackett or Prowlarr?

[–] BrightCandle@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

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

That was one smooth transition! 🚀

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 2 points 2 days ago

yea that would have been a pain indeed! I feared that too, pleasantly surprised now 😁

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I just changed my compose reference to update the volume and base image. Worked a treat.

[–] ThetaDecay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The jellyseer android app automatically renamed itself to seer the first time I launched the app after upgrading my server. That was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Doesn't seem like OIDC made it into the new release, weird. Unless I missed something in the documentation. It's been working fine on the preview branch for ages.

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I was surprised to see emby mentioned. I thought they shot themselves so hard in their feet with the licensing changes back then that there was a reason that we only hear from jrllyfin these days.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jellyfin is a fork of emby (from when it went closed source), so that makes sense. They have diverged quite a bit but seems the Auth hasn't changed enough.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

You still see remnants in the logs.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (7 children)

You mean when they went closed source? I know Jellyfin is all open source but apparently rougher UX all round.. and Emby is miles better than Plex, not least because Plex has a scalp-worthy cost and too many paywalled features. Jellyfin to me is a purist alternative - libre software is ideal but you start to get a much weaker product.

That was totally unexpected /s

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So you no longer need a Plex account to use overseer?

I don't know much about the *eerr stuff.. Is there a good way to connect a debris service with that? I'm using Stremio+Torrention rn, but it's crashing regularly or isn't able to find magnet links.

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Anyone know if you can integrate this with a debrid service?

[–] gravitas@lem.ugh.im 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Right, but the debrid services handle torrenting, you send the torrent file and it downloads it for you, and shows up in your movies/shows folder when you mount them with rclone. So all I would need this to do is send the requested torrent to the debrid URL instead of to the whatever does the actual downloading in the *arrs stack

[–] gravitas@lem.ugh.im 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think decypharr might do what you want, it simulats a qbittorrent client to connect to debrid.

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I appreciate the link, I'll look into it, thanks!

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What you want to it withvis called sonarr/radarr

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Explain how you think that would help.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sent to the wrong comment lol. Disregard the previous one. Anyway: Sonarr/Radarr doesnt do any downloading. They just manage the sending of the task to the downloader and the import.
