Seerr

Seerr natively supports Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby, allowing for seamless synchronization of existing libraries. It queries your media server's API to determine if a requested title is already present, preventing duplicate requests. This integration ensures that the request UI only displays relevant content, reducing clutter and improving the user experience for everyone in your household or shared server environment.

By integrating directly with Sonarr and Radarr, Seerr automates the entire lifecycle of a media request. Once a user submits a request, Seerr pushes the metadata to the appropriate service, which then handles the search, download, and file organization. This eliminates manual intervention, allowing administrators to set up 'set-and-forget' workflows that keep libraries updated with minimal oversight.

Seerr features a robust role-based access control (RBAC) system. Administrators can define specific permissions for different users, such as who can request 4K content, who can approve requests, and who has access to administrative settings. This is critical for shared servers where you need to balance user autonomy with strict control over bandwidth usage and storage capacity.

The platform supports both SQLite and PostgreSQL, providing flexibility for different deployment scales. For small home labs, SQLite offers a zero-configuration, lightweight solution. For larger deployments with many users and high request volumes, switching to PostgreSQL provides better concurrency, improved performance, and more reliable data integrity, ensuring the application remains responsive under heavy load.

The interface is built with a responsive design, ensuring that administrators can manage requests, approve pending items, and monitor system status directly from a smartphone or tablet. This mobile-first approach is essential for users who manage their media servers on the go, providing a native-app-like experience without the need for additional client-side software installations.
