Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr

Submitted ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Jozzo@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

https://docs.seerr.dev/blog/seerr-release

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!

Anyone know if you can integrate this with a real-debrid account or similar service? I’ve been enjoying using real-debrid since I don’t have to worry about storing the stuff I’m watching.

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

    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 youojnt then 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

I don’t quote 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?

source
- gravitas@lem.ugh.im ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ 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.

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

  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.

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.

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

  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.

    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.

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

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.

  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.

    I wouldn’t say that Jellyfin is an inferior product nowadays, it is much better now, and has things Plex doesn’t have like easy free hardware transcoding

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

Doesn’t seem like OIDC made it into the new release, weird. It’s been working fine on the preview branch for ages.

Gonzako@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
So you no longer need a Plex account to use overseer?

source
- x00z@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  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.
