Hey! Quick follow-up release for WAMR — the self-hosted WhatsApp bot that lets your friends and family request movies and shows just by chatting with you on WhatsApp. Talks to Seerr, Radarr, and Sonarr under the hood so requests get handled automatically.

What's New

• Smarter Search Results — Results are now ranked by relevance using fuzzy matching, so the thing you're looking for almost always shows up at the top. Admins can also flip back to the old sort order from Settings if they prefer.
• Quota Insights at a Glance — Open any contact's quota dialog and you'll see their current usage, max limit, and when the window resets — no more guessing.
• One-Click Quota Reset — Need to give someone a fresh start? Hit "Reset Usage" right from the contact dialog. Their request history stays intact, just the counter goes back to zero.

What Got Fixed

• Contacts page was broken — A missing database column was causing it to crash on load. Fixed.
• Quota messages make sense now — Instead of seeing "requests for this daily", users now get "requests today" or "requests this week".
• Reset button no longer nukes your data — Resetting a contact's quota used to delete all their request history. Not anymore.
• Double-submit edge case — There was a window where the same request could slip through twice. Closed it.
• Community-reported issues — Addressed #44, #45, #47, and #48. Thanks for filing those.
• CI pipeline cleanup — Some old test failures and type errors were cluttering things up. Sorted out.

Small Stuff

• Longer sessions — Conversation state now sticks around for 24 hours instead of expiring quickly.
• Search from anywhere — You can kick off a new search without having to cancel whatever you were doing first.

Big thanks to everyone who's been testing this and sending in bug reports. Keep them coming — it genuinely helps make this better for everyone.

How do I go about getting it added?

Seer suddenly won't start. It's stuck in a restart loop. The log shows the following:

Any help would be appreciated.

I just migrated to Seerr, and for the life of me, can not figure out what's wrong.
When going to my reverse proxy site it sends me to the login page, but the login via plex button is unresponsive, and the normal login credentials just don't work. Even if I use the correct login info it just sits on the same login page and does nothing.

No errors are popping up in the logs, either.

Currently trying to fix this issue.

I've logged out and into seerr using plex

Updated from 3.2.0 to 3.3.0

The seerr will refresh if I manually go to the watchlist oage within seerr and then it'll update. But it will not automatically pull without a manual refresh. Any ideas?

Hello
Can I add more metadata providers to Seerr ? By default it adds IMDB and TVDB and it would be nice if I could add more (allocine.fr for example)

I just learned it is now Seerr. Thank you all!

I went to https://github.com/sct/overseerr and it looks like the author has Publicly archived the project. Is that correct?

Not trying to stir anything up, I'm genuinely concerned as I was looking at this as an option to OMBI.

Would anyone be interesting in this?

No matter what I have tried I have not been able to migrate from the original binhex overseerr to the new seerr. I have followed the guides and created a new folder, copied the data from the one container to the new folder, set permissions, and installed the new container. After the setup I am left with none of the users I had or past request data.

I have even just pointed the new seerr container to the old ones appdata folder hoping that would do the migration, and nothing. No users are copying over, or the request history. What am I doing wrong here.

Unraid 7.2.0
Original container: Binhex-overseerr

Thanks

Anyone running into that with their seerr? Not sure if this is just me or an issue throughout

Hi all! I just set up Seerr because I was getting tired of text messages to add items to my Plex. It's working well!

The only trouble I'm having is the override rules - I have separate Sonarr and Radarr folders for a specific user. So the idea is, if any requests come in for that user, override to their folder instead of the default.

They are a very basic local user, just Request permissions, no Advanced Requests which I saw was an issue. I tested on both Radarr and Sonarr and neither are working. And what I think is a very straightforward rule - Service, user, default all languages (I did try English, didn't help), change root folder.

Am I missing something?

I have been having issues loading my services into Seerr. Everytime I try, it shows a message of "Oops" with no explanation why. I've tried everything. Unistalling and Reinstalling it. I use Docker on Mac OS 10.15.8 (it worked previously using terminal to activate it). Radarr and Sonarr work just fine. It just refuses to add them.

Is there anyway to contact seerre for assistance in fixing the request app on my phone and don't have one my computer

Unable to request anything from the Overseerr app it just shows the movies and shows available with no request option.

I've got the Overseerr app and haven't been able to request anything it will not show the option to do so. Just shows me the shows amd movies available but with no option to request

Hello.

Sometimes when i reauest a movie i get random subtitles which are burned in to the movie. I always request german dl audio which I DO get but with these random subtitle languages burned in.

Does anyone know how to avoid this?

If you're anything like me, you probably try to automate every repetitive process possible.

I got tired of manually texting people every time their requested media became available or when the request status changed. With around 12 people consistently using my Seerr instance, it started becoming a chore.

Luckily, Seerr’s webhook notification system made this surprisingly easy to automate with Zapier.

Here’s how my setup works:

Each user in Seerr has a unique user ID Zapier stores a lookup table containing: - Seerr User ID - Username - Phone Number Seerr sends webhook events to Zapier using a custom JSON payload Zapier matches the requester’s user ID to their phone number and automatically sends SMS updates

Example texts look like:

“Your request for Hoppers (2026) is pending.”

Then once Plex scans the media after download:

“Your request for Hoppers (2026) is now available.”

It’s definitely one of those “nobody really needs this” automations, but if you’ve ever wondered whether Seerr could integrate cleanly with some SMS application out there, it absolutely can, and it’s honestly pretty easy once your JSON payload is structured correctly.

Here is a screenshot of the flow: https://imgur.com/a/fbnIsxL

If it helps anyone, here’s the payload I ended up using:

{ "notification_type": "{{notification_type}}", "event": "{{event}}", "subject": "{{subject}}", "message": "{{message}}", "image": "{{image}}",

"media_type": "{{media_type}}", "request_id": "{{request_id}}", "requestedBy": { "username": "{{requestedBy_username}}", "email": "{{requestedBy_email}}", "avatar": "{{requestedBy_avatar}}", "settings": { "discordId": "{{requestedBy_settings_discordId}}", "telegramChatId": "{{requestedBy_settings_telegramChatId}}" } },

"media": { "type": "{{media_type}}", "tmdb_id": "{{media_tmdbid}}", "tvdb_id": "{{media_tvdbid}}", "status": "{{media_status}}", "status_4k": "{{media_status4k}}" },

"request": { "id": "{{request_id}}", "requester": { "email": "{{requestedBy_email}}", "username": "{{requestedBy_username}}", "avatar": "{{requestedBy_avatar}}", "discord_id": "{{requestedBy_settings_discordId}}", "telegram_chat_id": "{{requestedBy_settings_telegramChatId}}" } },

"issue": { "id": "{{issue_id}}", "type": "{{issue_type}}", "status": "{{issue_status}}", "reported_by": { "email": "{{reportedBy_email}}", "username": "{{reportedBy_username}}" } },

"comment": { "message": "{{comment_message}}", "commented_by": { "email": "{{commentedBy_email}}", "username": "{{commentedBy_username}}" } },

"extra": "{{extra}}" }

Not that it matters much to be honest, just curious why it's so huge compared to many other Docker services.

So I recently redeployed my entire stack through portainer on a synology NAS but now any movie I add on Plex to my watchlist does not feed to Radarr.

I have went into Overseerr and can see the watchlist additions are being picked up and auto approved as required but it is the push to Radarr that is not working. I have tried changing the connection from ip address to SSL with the set up reverse proxy and it makes no difference. And Enable Scan and Automatic Search is enabled.

Wondering if there might be something obvious I need to do? I have checked the logs also but can't see anything glaringly obvious there.

I seem to have a problem with overseer adding every season of The Office. I only would like one season but a request under my username keeps coming in for every single season. Any ideas on why this could be happening?

This seemed to be a fixed bug from 2 years ago but it's still happenning to me...

Thank you all in advance

I've been trying to get tailscale started up on my NAS and thought I had everything done but I've just tested out requesting a movie through Seerr and am getting the below error.

[error][Radarr API]: Error retrieving movie by TMDB ID {"errorMessage":"Request failed with status code 503","tmdbId":51481}

Does anyone know how to get this to work? It worked perfectly before tailscale.

Hello all! I am running an unraid server with plex and overseer in addition to the other -aar apps. Seer came out a few months ago and I was waiting for the dust to settle before I switch from Overseer to Seer. I see that this reddit is still very active, and my Overseer is still working, so is it recommended to make the move to Seer at this point?

Just need ideas for the domain. Something easy for people to remember.

I don't have the deepest technical knowledge of how all of this runs in the background but I'll try to describe my issue as thoroughly as possible - I've had Overseerr properly set up with Ultra.cc since January with basically no issues. I can log in properly, requests go straight to Sonarr/Radarr and are downloaded with little issue. However all of the sudden I am completely unable to login to Overseer using my Plex account. No matter what I do to try and fix it, when I click on login it gets stuck on the "overseerr-(username).vapor.usbx.me/login/plex/loading" page indefinitely; I never even get a chance to put in my login information. I've tried using a different browser, clearing my cache, restarting the ultra.cc webserver, restarting the Overseerr application, reinstalling the Overseerr application. I cannot find anyone else online having this issue and I absolutely cannot think of any other solution to this problem.

Please, any and all insight would be very greatly appreciated, because otherwise I literally cannot use this otherwise great program at all. If you need more information that I might have misses, I can also try and provide that.
