Jellyseerr

Request movies and TV shows through your Jellyseerr server for automated downloading to Plex/Jellyfin.

Setup

Configure your Jellyseerr server:

scripts/setup.sh

You'll need:

• Jellyseerr server URL
• API key (from Jellyseerr Settings > General)

Usage

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"

Examples

Request a movie:

scripts/request_movie.py "The Matrix"

Automatic Availability Notifications

Get notified when your requested content becomes available.

Webhooks (Recommended)

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/

Polling (Alternative)

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",

}
