How does Watcharr differ from Seerr?
Seems like they do the same thing. Track shows and tag them for later… acquisition.
Comment on TV Time is coming to an end, alternatives?

Looks like there’s also Watcharr if you want to stick with piratey sounding apps.

Watcharr is for building a backlog and recording what you’ve watched.
Seerr does let you build a backlog, but it’s more for the users of your media server to be able to request items for acquisition. Once approved, it sends the request to be automatically downloaded and added to your library.

Now since you have me looking… I installed Watcharr and it’s okay. Has a Discovery section. Easy to add things and mark them watched. But no stats, no integrations. It just seems a little barebones.
So I installed Yamtrack. The UI isn’t really as intuitive to me and there doesn’t seem to be a Discover function. BUT I love that it can track books, video games, and others as well. It also has Jellyfin integration.
I’m going to live with Yamtrack for a bit and see. It would be great to have a tracking app that also handles media requests. Seerr let’s you build a watchlist, but it isn’t all that helpful or fleshed out.

Yamtrack at some point will improve that jellyfin integration. So far it’s locked to the one user but they’ve been doing a ton of API work to get it to support multiple users iirc.

Watcharr has integrations for Sonarr/Radarr with requests (that isn’t as advanced as seerr though), also game tracking if manually configured.
And jellyfin integration too! Hope dat helps.

Oh, good to know! I’ll take a deeper look at it this week.
