    In my specific case, I’m subscribed to a usenet indexing service, which is hooked in to sonarr & radarr, which send downloads to sabnzbd+ to trigger the downloads. Overseerr just adds another layer, sending requests to sonarr/radarr.

    That said, Overseerr will work with pretty much whatever your specific method is. Just hook it in and the services handle the rest.


  • You would just be another Overseerr user. At initial setup, you pull all of the users you’ve shared your Plex server into the Overseerr config. You can dig into the settings and tweak it - the number of movies a default user can request per day, number of seasons of TV, etc. I have mine set up to auto-approve all requests, but users can only request one season of TV and three movies per day, to avoid people abusing the service. In general I don’t have to touch it.


  • You’ve been recommended Ombi, but I recommend Overseerr instead. You can set it to permit them to only login using Plex auth (so no credentials for you to manage) and import your user list from Plex. It links up to radar or sonarr (and other stuff) for downloads. It can be configured to auto-approve downloads so you don’t have to do anything.

    I’ve been using it for years now. It’s great.
