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

Features

  • Browse upcoming movies and TV shows from The Movie Database (TMDB)
  • Request titles for automatic download via Radarr (movies) or 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.

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.
  • Jellyfin — Stream requested content once available
  • Sonarr & Radarr — Automated downloaders that fulfill requests
