I hope we finally get OAuth2/OIDC logins. Jellyfin needs them too. It would greatly simplify managing my users if I could just run them all through Authentik/Authelia rather than dealing with separate logins, recoveries and permissions for every single thing I want to host. I know jellyfin has an addon available, but it breaks app compatibility to use, and my shit MUST maintain the fabled “wife approval” rating.
This actually worries me because the jellyseerr OIDC branch has been waiting for a merge for ages now and I think they might have to start another branch to add to the ‘new’ app. But I can say that branch works great right now, been using it Authelia no issues
I mean, breaking app compatibility is just a non-starter generally. The state of the apps is honestly the biggest thing holding Jellyfin back.
Locking this comment thread because of all the negativity and accusations of ‘low effort’. There’s no rule against low effort posts. Downvote it if you think it sucks.
Good action, bad name choice.
OverJelleerr
I was look into both of these and it really looked like the fork was supposed to be the continuation of the original one. So this news doesn’t come as a surprise.
Missed the chance to call it Jelloseerr
It’s Jellover now
Maybe now I can finally put it to work on my homelab.
For people who have difficulty reading this (small screens, larger screens, screen readers, etc)
Hi @everyone!
Time for a pretty big update! Behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly cooking up something exciting, and we’re finally ready to share it: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are merging into one team called Seerr! This has been in the works for quite some time, and we couldn’t be happier to officially join forces.
What does that mean for you? A single unified codebase where all the latest Jellyseerr features will make their way in, plus the combined effort means we can move faster on new features and keep things more up to date.
We’re sharing this news a little early because we need beta testers before our first release. If you’d like to help shape the future of this project (and move us towards a quicker first release), now’s your chance!
To test, you can switch from our official image to
fallenbagel/jellyseerr:preview-seerrWe do not recommend using this on a production instance, but if you do, please back up your data before switching. For any questions or feedback, please post in our #seerr-beta channel!
Ok, asking for a friend, where’s a list of what all these arrs are now, as
I’mthey’re getting confused now.Thanks 👍🏻
Please cheerr.
Both teams working together as peerrs
should buy them some beerrs.
Quitt iittt 😭
Grrrr
Remind me what this does?
It gives you and the users of your jellyfin instance a nice UI dashboard to search and request movies/series. The requests then get handed off to radarr/sonarr for downloading via your downloader (e.g. Sabnzb)
Instead of having to go into the less polished sonarr/radarr that would also expose some settings that you might not want other users to change, you get a nice dashboard. Similar to how you’d browse on a streaming site.
It shows you currently popular movies/shows and upcoming highly anticipated ones, you can search for a specific movie and when you click on it you get a helpful site. It displays all kinds of info similar to jellyfin, like cast, tags, relevant other movies, links to sites like rotten tomatoes or letterboxd, and so on. You can also search for persons and it’ll show you what they’ve been in/have produced. And when you want something you can easily request a download in your preferred quality setting.
You also may limit what and how requests from different users are handled.
Can it be used without arr-integrations? As just a way to keep track of stuff users would love to have available, but currently isn’t?
Allows your users to request media. Integrates with Plex/jellyfin/emby and the arrs
So you request something torrent something for you?
It makes a request to the thing that searches through lists of stuff (torrents-, Usenet-indexers), which then requests some downloader (like a torrenting client) to download the stuff you want.
The whole servarr stack is pretty complicated but that also means it’s not a messy monolith.
Yes. It has a convenient and easy to use interface for requestiong movies and shows. It then sends those requests to Sonarr, Radarr, who sent it to your torrent client and so on.
I’m not sure I understand what you just said. It allows users to request movies or TV shows and shows them what your media player already has available. If you interested it with the arrs it will add it and optionally initiate a search. https://docs.seerr.dev/
So… Seerr requests something (what? how?) to torrent stuff on your behalf?
The *arr suite is a bunch of media management software that can integrate with different sites to download torrents. This lets your users (friends and family) request stuff to download without having access to your *arrs
Aaah, ok. I think I’m slowly starting to get it. Also, this video helped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_MwE0Z3CE
If you already pirate content, welcome to the rabbit hole that will simultaneously make your life way easier and way harder.
So you run radarr to pickup movies and sonarr for shows, instead of having both open for all of your users, you just run jellyseerr and you and your users can use that to discover and send requests to the other *arrs

Holy based!
The future is now, old man.
Again people on Lemmy show that they can’t do basic reading and interpretation. For fuck’s sake people, it was obviously sarcasm.
it’s cool for companies to invade my privacy and use my messages as AI training data!
Whatever you say, kiddo.

What does it do over jellyfin tho? It seems like another front-end for it.
No, Jellyseerr is a selfhosted webapp where you request movies and shows, which will be searched and downloaded by your configured Sonarr/Radarr, which will populate your Jellyfin.
You can see it as a user-friendly Sonarr+Radarr front-end, that you can sync with Jellyfin users, so they can go and request content directly without you manually adding things in Radarr/Sonarr.
Overseerr was in unannounced on hold anyway, I read it as Jelly people just taking the helm. Great news!
Awesome
missed opportunity to call Joséérr
“and we are thereforerenaming the project Joséer González”
