# 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:** - **Internal (home network):** ## 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 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. ## Related Services - [Jellyfin](../media-and-entertainment/jellyfin.md) — Stream requested content once available - [Sonarr & Radarr](../technical/media-automation-pipeline.md) — Automated downloaders that fulfill requests --- *TODO: Add screenshot of Seerr home page with a sample movie request.*
