What’s the need for Overseer/Jellyseer? I can already add stuff through Sonarr/Radarr
Makes adding movies/series even easier. Nice gui, search box. Click and Radrr/Sonarr will do the rest. Jellyserr is a fork of Overseer with support for your Jellyfin instance logins. And if you have more people using your services - they can request what they want without bothering you and you can approve/reject their requests.
Nowadays I’m rarely touching Sonarr or Radarr, everything is happening through Jellyserr or LunaSea (lack of nzb360 for iOS). Unless I’m cleaning my NAS.
Don’t forget about Bazarr as an addition to S/R duet for automated subtitles downloading if you need them.
I had to look Overseerr up as I had not heard of it. And honestly, it’ll probably be the next thing I implement.
Looks like an easy way to streamline requests from users. Plus, it has a discover section that suggests new content. This would be a great addition so that my wife could request content as well as discover new stuff. Useful for some people but not all.
My wife and kids can add things through Overseer without bugging me and it’s all authenticated with their Plex account so no extra user accounts to manage. I even use it occasionally to discover new things to watch. Plus it can just automatically add stuff from a user’s Plex watchlist if they discover things that way. Fantastic program.
Best sleeper feature is that it can monitor stuff you add to the watchlist and grab it for you when available. Perfect to pair with that discover feature they added to plex a while back.
You never have to leave Plex, Overseer is just grabbing the watchlist from you and your users and then adding a new entry in Radarr set to monitored for that movie.
