We’re excited to announce a major update: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are officially merging into a single team called Seerr. This unification marks an important step forward as we bring our efforts together under one banner.
For users, this means one shared codebase combining all existing Overseerr functionalities with the latest Jellyseerr features, along with Jellyfin and Emby support, allowing us to deliver updates more efficiently and keep the project moving forward.
Please check how to migrate to Seerr in our migration guide and stay tuned for more updates on the project!
I was surprised to see emby mentioned. I thought they shot themselves so hard in their feet with the licensing changes back then that there was a reason that we only hear from jrllyfin these days.
Afaik Jellyfin and Emby use the same authentication so by adding Jellyfin support Emby automatically works too.
Jellyfin is a fork of emby (from when it went closed source), so that makes sense. They have diverged quite a bit but seems the Auth hasn’t changed enough.
You still see remnants in the logs.
You mean when they went closed source? I know Jellyfin is all open source but apparently rougher UX all round… and Emby is miles better than Plex, not least because Plex has a scalp-worthy cost and too many paywalled features. Jellyfin to me is a purist alternative - libre software is ideal but you start to get a much weaker product.
I wouldn’t say that Jellyfin is an inferior product nowadays, it is much better now, and has things Plex doesn’t have like easy free hardware transcoding
I main jellyfin. It lacks:
I end up using it with tailscale, but that’s well out of reach for my friends and family who share my Plex stuff.
Reverse proxy or configuration in the admin settings
Not the point of an open source server. That’s your issue.
Why?? But anyway, Jellyfin can poll those for metadata
There is a plugin to do OpenID
Can’t comment on that. My library is small (<10TB)
