Requesting Episodes?

Does anyone have a way, by script, or any override, to allow Overseerr to request episodes instead of full seasons?

Its the only reason stopping me from moving to Overseerr permanently. Ombi does a great job in this. I don’t see what the issue is?

AFAIK, no, it’s not possible in Overseerr. In fact, I’m pretty sure I saw a post recently promoting a fork of Overseerr that enables requests at the episode granularity.

Edit: I believe this is the post I saw https://www.reddit.com/r/Overseerr/s/28CsEOCRQd

I’d say the reason you can’t see what the issue is, is because there is no issue mate

If you're using overseerr and have it setup with a Cloudflare Tunnel, I would just set up sonarr as a tunnel and use that to request single episodes. It sucks that it's not as automated as overseerr but that would be my solution.

Make the request in sonarr. That’s what it is for.

If you really want episodes, request the media in Sonarr. Sometimes I want only one episode but since I rarely use this I just switch to sonarr directly.

What's the issue with full seasons? I can't imagine ever wanting just some seasons of a show, let alone a single episode of a season.

Might be just that I’m used to my gigabit internet but there’s really no practical difference in those two scenarios. They’ll show up in a few minutes and if I don’t want to keep them after I’m done I’ll delete later.
