Introduction

Jellyseerr is a free and open-source media request and discovery platform designed specifically for Jellyfin. It provides a user-friendly interface for browsing, searching, and requesting movies and TV shows, bridging the gap between your users and your media automation stack (e.g., Jellyfin + Sonarr/Radarr).

Key Features

🔎 Search & Discover: Browse and search for movies and series from TMDB.
🎯 Direct Requests: Request content directly from the UI, linked to Sonarr and Radarr.
🔐 User Management: Role-based permissions and Jellyfin authentication.
📅 Release Tracking: View upcoming or recently added media.
💬 Request Comments: Users can comment and track the status of their requests.
🌍 Multi-language support with a responsive web UI.
