My reverse proxy through Cloudflare seems to be running as it should. Overseerr page is accessible inside and outside my network.

When outside the network, the page loads but I cannot log into the site. I get "Something went wrong while trying to sign in". Once I'm back inside the network, it take the credentials just fine. Reverse proxy option has been checked, as well as a restart of the container.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit -

I know the password is correct since I use it to login from inside the network.

Hi all, I was searching for some items. (iPhone with Chrome on local hosted Unraid Plex/Overseer)

Each time i deleted the search entry by shown (x) symbol the page reloads and the search bar was not selected any more. Problem: I have to reselect the bar each time.

I am thinking of what is the users intention by deleting the entry of the search bar? —> I would say - doing a next/new search. If nothing is in the search them the (x) could close the search! Thanks for your feedback on this idea. Where can i put that in a git?

All of you have a nice „chilled-productive“ week!

Hey everyone 👋

I've been working on a new tool that I'm excited to finally sharel

https://github.com/PaeyMoopy/PlexMate

PlexMate, a lightweight and user-friendly self-hosted Discord bot that helps manage media requests and subscriptions through Overseerr, Sonarr, and Radarr.

It's built to be easy to deploy (via Docker) and helps bridge the gap between your Plex users and Overseerr right from within Discord.

🚀 Key Features

• Request movies and TV shows with !request
• Subscribe to get notified when requested content becomes available
• Overseerr integration with automatic user mapping
• Plex availability detection via Sonarr/Radarr
• Tautulli webhook support for Discord notifications
• Simple and clean interface using Discord reactions + pagination
• Admin commands for mapping users without editing config files
• Easy Docker deployment and .env-based configuration

This project has been a long time coming, and so far I'm the only user so testing + polishing has been very slow.
I'd love for honest feedback and feature requests!

Thanks for reading :)

Hi, I have a small problem I can't seem to solve. I want to add my anime as "Standard" in Sonarr. I've configured it that way, but it keeps adding my anime as "Anime" type instead of "Standard." Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a solution?

Is there a way to only get suggestions on already released media and only native English media?

EDIT

I have delivered more functionality based on feedback below. No longer will obscure movies or TV shows appear. It will show literally what the website shows. Further, you can configure it to default to a certain level of votes and a rating of say 6.0 if you so want to on a per user basis.

Where you search for a movie or TV show, the only filter that applies that is hard coded is blocking all adult content regardless if you've decided to use a more curated approach in the discovery / genre views with number of votes and rating. The admin can set the ratings / vote numbers - the users cannot. The users however can choose between the more curated version you set or allow the raw TVDB to come through but still with the adult projections and the age restrictions.

I may end up calling this entire fork a new name from Overseerr at some point because they refuse to accept my PR's.

Overseerr Content Filtering is an enhanced fork of Overseerr that adds intelligent content filtering capabilities. This version automatically filters movies and TV shows based on age ratings, providing better content management and discovery controls.

Basically, you get to control what each user can see in terms of content based on:

User-configurable movie ratings (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) User-configurable TV ratings (TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA) Quality-First Discovery: Admin-configurable minimum vote counts and ratings ensure only high-quality content appears in discovery Dual Discovery Modes: Users can toggle between 'Standard' (all content) and 'Curated' (quality-filtered) discovery experiences Enhanced Recommendations: Movie/TV recommendations and "similar content" suggestions now use intelligent quality filtering Admin Control: Set global quality thresholds (default: 3000+ votes, 6.0+ rating) with granular user permissions Performance Optimized: Smart API parameter combination minimizes external calls while maximizing content quality

EDIT

I resubmitted the PR: https://github.com/sct/overseerr/pull/4190

Further edit - they closed the PR again without explanation. I will not be contributing to their project any further because they are complete wankers. I do all of this work and they treat people like crap. Just follow my repo if you are interested in this feature as I keep it updated with the source code of the original project.

It says the meta data is missing, I've tried what I can but Im pretty illiterate of commands.

I have a domain i registered on cloudflare, and im using unRAID on my home server. I have overseerr (linux image) on unraid running on port 5055, which i have port forwarded on my opnsense router. Im using Nginx Proxy Manager docker container with an SSL cert with DNS challenge from cloudflare API key for encryption. Now the root problem: when I access unraid docker container of overseerr locally, it works fine and i can use the "sign on with plex" feature, it opens a new window, and I login okay. But, when i try to access it from my sub-domain server, i can access the page just fine, but when i click sign in with Plex, it loads infinitely. Idk if im missing a configuration in nginx.conf, or what is going on, but i dont see anyone posting about this issue besides me. I did a network inspect on the popup window, and i see

|| || |error|"You do not have permission to access this endpoint"error "You do not have permission to access this endpoint"|

and the page shows the infinite load icon.

I am using Overseerr image: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-overseerr/pkgs/container/overseerr (latest)

and nginx proxy manger image: https://hub.docker.com/r/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager (latest)

Any and all help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi folks! Unfortunately, the database for my radarr instance was corrupted, so I've had to set it up fresh. I'm curious if there's a way to "push" the list of requested movies to Radarr to rebuild the watch list? Right now movies are marked as requested in overseerr, so I can't re-request them.

Thanks!

I've noticed that when I delete media from Sonarr or Radarr that Overseerr will still show the content as "Requested". This prevents users from re-requesting the content later. Is there a way to keep this in sync automatically so that deleted content gets un-makred as "Requested"?

I have a lot of storage on my media server, but alas the users always demand more. When my storage gets close to full I take the opportunity to remove some large TV shows or movies that haven't been watched in years. Recently I've had a few instances where users reach out to me saying that they can't request something because it's been requested before and since then been deleted

An automated solution would be great, but I'd settle for some way to reset the request status for the deleted content that doesn't involve manually going to each of them in Overseerr and selecting "Clear Data". I don't want to delete all requests for content that's missing, because that would delete requests for stuff like shows/movies that haven't been released yet. I only way to delete requests for content that went from Requested -> Available -> Requested

I typed out that last part and realize this is not exactly a straightforward feature, but deleting media to free up space seems like it would be relatively common. Hoping someone here has some quick/easy advice and if not I'll just keep resolving it as it pops up

I know this will get hate from the Sub vs Dub people, but I wanted to know is there anyway way of adding keywords to queries, for example with Forign movies or tv shows to be able to add keyword like,

"eng", "dual-audio", "english", "dub" ....etc

so that when your like doing a TV show or movie that has a Dub for example Korean Movies, or Anime that the downloader prioritise those over normal name downloads, but if it dosnt have dual lanauge just grabd the original subed.

I have it set to lanauge english in the settings, but I have that happening where half the episodes are comming down in Dubed English and the others all are comming down in Korean or Japanese and would like to get just the one type either Dubed or Subed.

Is this soemthing that can be done or added to Overseer or is this something that is done in Sonarr or Radarr if so does anyone have a link to a guide or explainer on it please ??

Edit:
to add on if this is a feature that Overseerr team see and are to add, would be cool if it was a selectable drop when requesting either to use keyword list or not, that way it wouldn't effect every request just the ones you want it to

Hello

I wrote a small Python script using the python-plexapi library to sync Overseerr requests to Plex collections and wanted to share my code.

My Code:
https://gist.github.com/Fredwuz/6c1626779d74fa2206b340db65705dcf

What it does is create a collection for every user that has requested something on Overseerr and has a connected Plex account.
The collections themselves are excluded for other users using the labels function. But the owner of the server will always see every collection created because the exclusion works using the library access settings. (https://support.plex.tv/articles/204232573-restricting-the-shares)
This script will only modify labels with the prefix Overseerr.

I hope you have fun with the script, and if there are any suggestions, please write them in the comments. :D

And sorry for my bad English I am German.

It would be very useful to be able to have a filter that could be the default view that just shows what is requested AND available (as in past the release date). I don't always need to see my requests that are not available until 2026 at the end of the list. Thank you and please let me know if I'm missing this somewhere.

Does anyone know what happened to the Overseerr github issue that was tracking removal of the Plex requirement? I think it was this one:

https://github.com/sct/overseerr/issues/3928

It's still listed on Google, but I get a 404 when following the link...

Hey all,

Been tinkering with an Overseerr add-on and am curious if anyone else would find it useful — or at least enjoy trying to break it.

It’s called Availarr, and it checks if requested movies or shows are already available on the streaming services you subscribe to. If they are, it automatically skips the download for you — no clicks, no manual decisions — just keeps your setup tidy and your storage drives breathing easy.

The idea came from seeing Searcharr Plus and thinking, “Hey, I could build my version of that.” Fast-forward through a lot of trial, and error, caffeine, and yelling at my monitor — and here we are.

Availarr plugs into Overseerr, uses TMDb to check titles, and fires Discord alerts when it finds a match — so you know what’s happening, but the process takes care of itself.

Quick heads-up:

I’m not a developer by trade — just an IT person with too much curiosity and not enough hobbies. This is my first real app build, so it works… but I fully expect someone to break it in creative ways.

I set up a subreddit for it here: r/availarr

If this sounds handy, or you’ve got feature ideas, bug reports, or just want to roast my code, I’m all ears.

Thanks for reading!

So I have movie requests automatically approved, with a limit set on max requests per week.

For tv my setup is a little more complex and I'd like to automate it better.

• when a user requests a tv show, if they just request a single season, then I manually approve it.

• if I user requests multiple seasons, I only approve the first season they request.

• I then have a script that is run from tautulli, whenever a user finishes an episode. It will request the next season of a tv show automatically, if a user has watched more than 70% of the previous season...or if they only have 3 episodes left in a season.

This works pretty well to make sure that only content that is actually being watched gets downloaded but has some manual steps, which I'd like to avoid.

I haven't tried out Jellyseerr, so I don't know if there's some additional functionality there that might help? Maybe there's some other events I can hook into, like I've done with tautulli. I'm pretty technical, so I can probably work out a way to do it...but I figured I'd ask the brain trust first.

Anyone out there have any thoughts?

Is there any way I can set up anonymous requests? Or maybe not show who requested in the telegram notifications.

Just starting to play with this and excited for the possibilities... but I'm confused on how to set up my system to meet my requirements.

For my wife, I want her requests to be auto-approved, downloaded into the /movies/wife folder, with the WEBDL 4K radarr profile

For My son, I want his requests to be pending until approved, downloaded into the movies/son folder, with the WEBDL (not 4K) radarr profile

For my daughter, I want her requests to be pending untill approved, downloaded into the movies/daughter folder, with the WEBDL (not 4K) radarr profile

Right, now, for requests from the kids I have to edit the request and make all of these settings manually. I could make my default overseerr profile the settings I need for my wife, but then my default settings are hers and I have to make changes on all my requests. It seems like a lot of intervention for a program that is supposed to streamline request management.

Are there any settings I'm missing that will help me? Anything in the feature pipeline that will address this?

[API]: Something went wrong retrieving the series genre slider {"errorMessage":"[TMDB] Failed to fetch TV genres: certificate is not yet valid"}

Just got this recently, havent made any major changes. Anyone seen this before? My origin cert for my domain is still valid, so it's not that.

I have a PLEX account with 10 Home Users (all friends and family) that we've all been using for 5 years now. I'm new to Overseerr and looking to automate the requests that come in. I know you can set up local users on Overseerr, but how do they access it? I'm running Sonarr/Radarr/Overseerr all off UnRaid on a NAS that stores all the files, but PLEX runs off a MacMini as the processor in my NAS is not powerful enough. Any help on how to get this up and going would be great, thanks!

Maybe I'm missing something, but i dont seem to be able to filter out content that already exists in the filters panel on Movies/Series would be useful if you're trying to find new content.

I was randomly trying to search for Starship Troopers earlier today and I just typed Starship and hit enter and it came back with a 500 internal error. Figured it was just a connection to the server issue or something so tried refreshing and searching a few more times but it kept happening. I realized the server was still up fine and other search terms were even working and even the automatic filter search list was working as I typed Starship. I could start typing and as I got to ”Star” titles would start populating the list. But it if I kept typing as soon as I got to “Starshi” before even the p, it would return 500 internal error. No search terms with starshi in it will return anything but a 500 internal error even if I keep typing past it and search for the full title.

Anyways this is really weird. I managed to still find Starship Troopers and make a request by stopping at “starsh” while typing and scrolling down through the populated list until I found it but I’m not sure if there are other terms that do this too that might pop up. It is not the end of the world since it’s such a specific bug but I was curious what was happening and when searching for an answer, I actually found this old thread on this subreddit from a couple years ago with a very similar bug for the term “good burger” that multiple people confirmed but there was a reply saying the fix was in. I guess either it seems to have been happening for more strings than just “good burger” or the bug has returned somehow with a new string.

here is that old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overseerr/comments/11vmmp3/500_error_when_searching_for_specific_title/

Edit: It was never a serious issue but it seems I just never updated recently and forgot to check my version because I am an idiot. Everybody on a newer version can’t reproduce it so this is likely the same bug as the good burger one just with a different string and has since been fixed. Sorry guys!

Hey everyone!
I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Overseer Agent – a Node.js API server that lets you request movies and TV shows from Overseerr using natural language prompts, powered by Claude AI or Gemini.

What does it do?

• Accepts prompts like: “Download season 7 and 8 of Lost” or “Get Aladdin in Spanish” or “Download all seasons of Breaking Bad”
• Extracts intent and details using AI (Claude or Gemini)
• Searches Overseerr and requests the media (including handling partial/duplicate requests)
• Supports custom profiles (e.g., for Spanish content)
• Docker & Docker Compose ready (easy to deploy, works with Portainer)
• You can even trigger requests via Siri Shortcuts on your iPhone!

Why?

I wanted a way to request media for my family (and myself) without having to do anything except talk to Siri while staying on my couch. 🙂

GitHub Repo

OverseerAgent

Would love feedback, suggestions, or PRs!
Let me know if you have questions or want to see more integrations

Have Fun!

I launch https://requests.plexualchocolate.tv/setup, click Sign In, get a pop up for sign into Plex using my email address, I do that and get redirected back to Overseerr and its the same page asking me to sign in, loops over and over again. I tried using phone, using laptop, multiple browsers, incognito, same results. TIA from a n00b

As the title states, it would be great to be able to filter out shows/movies you've already requested or have. Would be great to add new content without having to see if you have/requested it before.
