jellyseerr
This skill manages Jellyseerr media requests and installs a webhook server and CLI helpers. It requires network access to configured Jellyseerr servers (https://your-jellyseerr-server.com/api/v1, http://YOUR_IP:8384/), performs privileged shell operations (writes /etc/systemd/system/… and uses sudo), and stores an api_key in ~/.config/jellyseerr/config.json.
Jellyseerr
Request movies and TV shows through your Jellyseerr server for automated downloading to Plex/Jellyfin.
Setup
Configure your Jellyseerr server:
scripts/setup.sh
You'll need:
- Jellyseerr server URL
- API key (from Jellyseerr Settings > General)
Usage
Request a movie:
scripts/request_movie.py "Movie Name"
Request a TV show:
scripts/request_tv.py "TV Show Name"
Search for content:
scripts/search.py "Content Name"
Examples
Request a movie:
scripts/request_movie.py "The Matrix"
Request a TV show (entire series):
scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad"
Request specific TV season:
scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad" --season 1
Automatic Availability Notifications
Get notified when your requested content becomes available.
Webhooks (Recommended)
For instant notifications, set up webhook integration. See references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md for the complete guide.
Quick setup:
scripts/install_service.sh # Run with sudo
Then configure Jellyseerr to send webhooks to http://YOUR_IP:8384/
Polling (Alternative)
For environments where webhooks aren't available, use cron-based polling:
crontab -l > /tmp/cron_backup.txt
echo "* * * * * $(pwd)/scripts/auto_monitor.sh" >> /tmp/cron_backup.txt
crontab /tmp/cron_backup.txt
Check pending requests:
scripts/track_requests.py
Configuration
Edit ~/.config/jellyseerr/config.json:
{
"server_url": "https://jellyseerr.yourdomain.com",
"api_key": "your-api-key",
"auto_approve": true
}
