Requesting Movies and Shows

Netflix won’t let you do this

Why Request?

Make this Jellyfin kind of like your own. Plus you’ll introduce me to good shows and movies… I trust you taste.

How do I Submit a Request?

Through Jellyseer.

Philosophy

I won’t keep every TV Show or Movie, especially if I start running out of space. If I’d buy the movie on Blu-Ray, I’ll probalby try to keep it on the server.

How are you getting the media?

AutoMagically. And sometimes it fails. If it does, let me know and I’ll take a closer look.

How soon can you get a movie/show after it’s been released?

Usually as soon as Blu-Rays are available and/or they start streaming it. If it’s theater’s only, be patient. You can still request it and once it’s available, it’ll automagically download.

What is this?

Jellyseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library.

Sure. https://jellyseer.menning.cloud

Username and Password is the exact same as your current Jellyfin counterpart.

Wow! Did you make this?

No, someone else who’s smarter than me did. I’m just running a private instance of it on my server connected to my Jellyfin.

Wait, why is it spelled differently?

Not sure why the original program is spelled with two “r”’s at the end, but I can call it whatever I want.
