Request movies and TV shows through Jellyseerr. Use when the user wants to add media to their Plex/Jellyfin server, search for content availability, or manage media requests.
Request movies and TV shows through your Jellyseerr server for automated downloading to Plex/Jellyfin.
Configure your Jellyseerr server:
scripts/setup.sh
You'll need:
Request a movie:
scripts/request_movie.py "Movie Name"
Request a TV show:
scripts/request_tv.py "TV Show Name"
Search for content:
scripts/search.py "Content Name"
Request a movie:
scripts/request_movie.py "The Matrix"
Request a TV show (entire series):
scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad"
Request specific TV season:
scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad" --season 1
Get notified when your requested content becomes available.
For instant notifications, set up webhook integration. See references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md for the complete guide.
Quick setup:
scripts/install_service.sh # Run with sudo
Then configure Jellyseerr to send webhooks to http://YOUR_IP:8384/
For environments where webhooks aren't available, use cron-based polling:
crontab -l > /tmp/cron_backup.txt
echo "* * * * * $(pwd)/scripts/auto_monitor.sh" >> /tmp/cron_backup.txt
crontab /tmp/cron_backup.txt
Check pending requests:
scripts/track_requests.py
Edit ~/.config/jellyseerr/config.json:
{
"server_url": "https://jellyseerr.yourdomain.com",
"api_key": "your-api-key",
"auto_approve": true
}
