Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr

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.

Honestly the UI is so slick even a one-user setup will benefit in my opinion. Even when not requesting media I use it extensively to look up actors and directors.

Possibly the best foss UX I’ve ever used.

  on this. Seer has better search than many popular movies/tv sites out there.

I still prefer it as the only user so I don’t have to switch between Radarr and Sonarr. I also find the search to be much better than either of those

  Me, too. I was just trying to be objectively neutral. Not every self-hoster is comfortable with maintaining another service, when there is no huge benefit to it. When I was still using Emby, I was happy with using IMDB plus Radarr/Sonarr.
