    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-seerr

    We 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!

      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.
