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!

    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:

        • default SSL
        • Carrier grade nat relay.
        • caching the TVDB and movie DB.
        • Centralized login and account management with 2FA
        • fast search on large libraries.

        I end up using it with tailscale, but that’s well out of reach for my friends and family who share my Plex stuff.

          • default SSL

          Reverse proxy or configuration in the admin settings

          • Carrier grade nat relay.

          Not the point of an open source server. That’s your issue.

          • caching the TVDB and movie DB.

          Why?? But anyway, Jellyfin can poll those for metadata

          • Centralized login and account management with 2FA

          There is a plugin to do OpenID

          • fast search on large libraries.

          Can’t comment on that. My library is small (<10TB)
