Media Requests

Allow users to request movies, TV shows, and music. These applications provide beautiful interfaces for submitting and managing content requests.

Applications

Choosing a Request System

Seerr (Recommended) - The unified request manager that merges Overseerr and Jellyseerr, with native Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby support and ongoing development.

Ombi - Mature platform supporting Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. Great for complex user management needs.

Requestrr - Best if your community already uses Discord. Handles requests directly in Discord.

Overseerr / Jellyseerr (Deprecated) - Both have been merged into Seerr and no longer receive updates. Existing installs auto-migrate to Seerr when you run qb update.

Features

  • User Management - Separate accounts with request limits
  • Approval Workflows - Approve or deny requests
  • Notifications - Alert users when content is available
  • Integration - Direct integration with Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr
  • Request Tracking - See status of all requests
  • Issue Reporting - Users can report problems with media

Setup Requirements

Request applications require:

  1. A media server (Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby)
  2. Media management tools (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.)
  3. User accounts configured

Installation

Install from App Dashboard → Package Management (/dashboard?mode=packages) — find the request app, click Install, and the install log streams live. See App Management for the full flow.

The CLI runs the same install for automation:

qb install seerr -u username       # recommended — unified Plex/Jellyfin/Emby manager
qb install ombi -u username
qb install requestrr -u username

Overseerr and Jellyseerr are deprecated — they auto-migrate to Seerr on update — but their CLI lifecycle commands remain available for existing installs:

qb install overseerr -u username
qb install jellyseerr -u username
