Reiverr is a web application that combines media discovery with home media-server integrations. It focuses on browsing TMDB metadata and connecting to services like Jellyfin, Radarr, and Sonarr, with a goal of being an alternative to Overseerr.

Key Features

  • TMDB-based discovery for trending movies and TV shows
  • Search and detailed title pages (cast, crew, ratings, trailers)
  • Personalized recommendations based on TMDB ratings
  • Integrations for common self-hosted media tools (Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr)
  • Plugin API for content playback providers, with built-in Jellyfin and torrent-stream plugins
  • Docker-based deployment and a backend that supports authentication with signed sessions
  • TV-focused UI work (rewrite targeting TV usage, including Tizen/Samsung TV builds)

Use Cases

  • Browse TMDB and play content through Jellyfin from a single interface
  • Request and manage movie/TV acquisition by connecting to Radarr and Sonarr
  • Build a living-room friendly media interface for TVs while hosting the backend on a server

Limitations and Considerations

  • The 2.0 rewrite is described as early-stage and may lack features found in the older 1.0 branch
  • Some platform support (beyond web and Tizen) is planned rather than fully implemented

Reiverr is best suited for users who want one clean UI spanning discovery, library access, and external media tooling. Its plugin approach makes it adaptable to different playback sources while keeping TMDB discovery at the center.
