SuggestArr
Automatic media recommendation requests for Jellyseerr/Overseerr
SuggestArr is an automation service that uses your recent watch history from Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby to find similar titles and automatically submit requests to Jellyseerr or Overseerr. It helps keep your media request queue and library suggestions fresh with minimal manual effort.
Key Features
- Supports Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby as watch-history sources
- Finds similar movies and TV shows using TMDb
- Automatically creates requests in Jellyseerr or Overseerr
- Web interface for configuration and management
- Real-time, filterable logs (INFO/ERROR/DEBUG)
- Optional per-user request submission (instead of admin/default)
- Built-in cron schedule management via the UI
- Configuration pre-testing/validation for URLs and API keys
- Content filtering to avoid requesting titles available on streaming services in your country
- Database support for SQLite and external PostgreSQL/MySQL
Use Cases
- Auto-fill a Jellyseerr/Overseerr request queue based on what household users actually watch
- Discover and request similar titles after finishing a series or movie
- Run scheduled recommendation requests as part of a broader media automation stack
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires a TMDb API key and properly configured media server plus Jellyseerr/Overseerr
- User-based requesting is limited to local Jellyseerr users
SuggestArr is well-suited for users who want lightweight, scheduled discovery that integrates directly into existing request workflows. With a simple UI and optional external database support, it can scale from small homelabs to larger libraries.
