# Seerr — Request Movies & TV Shows
**Seerr** (formerly *Overseerr*) is a media request and discovery service. Browse what's available to stream, request new titles, and track what your group wants to watch next.
## Access
- **Web UI:** <https://stork.mynest.love>
- **Internal (home network):** <http://seerr.k3s.home.nest>
## Features
- Browse upcoming movies and TV shows from The Movie Database (TMDB)
- Request titles for automatic download via [Radarr](../technical/media-automation-pipeline.md#radarr) (movies) or [Sonarr](../technical/media-automation-pipeline.md#sonarr) (TV)
- Track request status: pending, processing, available, failed
- User ratings and comments on requested titles
## Getting Started
1. Open <https://stork.mynest.love> in your browser.
2. Click **Sign In** and choose **Sign in with The Nest**.
3. Search for a movie or TV show you'd like to watch.
4. Click **Request** — the media automation pipeline will handle the rest.
## How Requests Work
1. You request a title in Seerr.
2. If the title is available on TMDB, Seerr sends a command to Radarr (movies) or Sonarr (TV).
3. The appropriate service searches indexers, downloads the content, and places it in the media library.
4. Once downloaded, the status updates to **Available** and you can stream it via [Jellyfin](../media-and-entertainment/jellyfin.md).
## Tips
- **Search first:** Check if a title is already available before requesting — avoid duplicates.
- **Quality preferences:** You can set default quality preferences (1080p, 4K, etc.) in your Seerr profile settings.
- **TV shows:** Requesting a TV show will download all available seasons. Specify which seasons you want if needed.
