Hey ya all,
> > Reiverr is a project of mine that I’ve decided to release to the public today. It’s a self-hosted website similar to the content discovery app Overseerr, with the added features of managing and watching your content library through Sonarr, Radarr and Jellyfin integrations. The motivation behind the project was the lack of a unified modern UI that could be used to discover, manage and watch content in a single place.
Currently, the project is in very early stages of development, but it is mostly usable in its current state. If you want to try it out, you can find the installation instructions in the project’s GitHub page: > >
https://github.com/aleksilassila/reiverr
Also: For the project to reach its fullest potential, it could use contributions! If you’d like to contribute code, designs (I’m not a UI designer, please help me), documentation or anything else, first of all, thank you!, and you can find an extensive list of planned features & fixes at the Reiverr Taskboard. It’s also a great place to just get a sense of what’s being done if you’re curious. > >
Cheers guys!

Awesome bot whoever made this. Thank you.
So when you ping over SNMP to fill the ARP cache with IP MAC pairs, so you can use UDP or TCP in your local network to connect to your NAS
out of breath
Was curious to take a look as an Overseerr replacement (Overseer has been running painfully, painfully slow for awhile)
But it looks like Jellyfin is currently a hard requirement to use Reiverr (I have Plex).
Yep, for now. I’m looking to implementing plex integration in the future, but right now I’m unsure if it is possible to play content from plex via their API. So whether or not jellyfin is a hard requirement for playback remains to be seen
Plex integration would add a ton of value for my flow
It’d be really nice to have a web interface that primarily links up to Sonarr & Radarr (minus the playback part) – just for requesting stuff.
Though Plex login integration would be nice, also – especially if I’m exposing it publicly. And that also opens the possibility to auto-import peoples’ Plex wishlists.
I’ll probably make jellyfin optional in the future, which would essentially make this just a frontend for sonarr, radarr and tmdb. Also I wouldn’t expose Reiverr outside your network currently since there is no authentication and the api keys are sent to your browser - definitely don’t do it without HTTPS
If I may add a suggestion regarding authentication, when you go down that route - please consider adding OIDC so we can use our own IDPs.
Plex has wishlists?
Yeah. A year or two ago, Plex added a thing where you can add any show or movie to a “Watchlist”, no matter what service it’s on.
Overseerr can already automatically pull in that in and turn it into Radarr / Sonarr requests. I would think Reiverr could eventually do it, too.
Is sonarr/radarr a hard requirement? Would be interested in just using this as an alternative frontend for jellyfin
It is currently, but I’ll see if I can make all the integrations optional next week
There’s definitely alternatives to the Jellyfin UI, there was one that popped up here a few days ago?
I mean, you could add Plex and then just disable playback if that’s not possible or until you find a way to do that
Thanks for all your hard work!
Fwiw there’s a new feature in Plex you have to opt into but the Sonarr and Radarr devs figured out how to use it. So you can make it so things people add to their watchlist on Plex get sent to the 'arrs. Like I have it auto add movies and search for them with the typical profile and then add TV shows unmonitored and send me a text message.
Really simplifies everything. Like now my grandma doesn’t have to go to a website and stuff. Since even if you turn off the free TV spam the search function will still return things you don’t have and let you naturally add it to your watchlist and even put it in a recently added bar on the watchlist page when it’s there.
Yep, I have that enabled in Overseerr. A couple people have used it. But mostly, people prefer to manually request stuff with Overseerr.
Unfortunately, it usually takes a minute or so to get Overseer to load.
Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.
But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.
It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr
Can you request specific seasons or episodes of a TV series that way?
I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli
I’ve got one friend who just cancelled all of his streaming services, and is asking for only the most recent season of stuff he watched.
So, Overseerr actually works in his favor.
Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”
Omg, thanks for helping me to get the names. The arrs indeed.
Hi Thanks for that, I did see a mention of this feature the other day, but didn’t know the how
If it just adds content to radarr and sonarr, it wouldn’t matter for Plex. Just set to scan folder for changes.
Tried this out. Was disappointed with the fact that it uses browser cache to store data, which becomes near impossible when you have a large library. A solution with a db stored on disk would greatly be appreciated.
That’s a good point and is something that I’ll have to look into later
Before I try it, how big is your library? Might tell me if I need to try at all
In terms of storage, ~37TB
Wow! I’ll have a look. Looks really dope!
Dang. This almost makes me want to switch away from PLEX. I love how this feels a bit like Apple TV’s interface, but isn’t just a plain carbon copy.
How hard would be to make it run on TrueNAS as a jail? Docker is kind of a painful mess on TrueNAS.
I’ll have to look into that, but the rule of thumb is that you can get this to run pretty much on anything with some tinkering
Can’t wait to play with this. Thanks a lot.
Awesome!
Looks great 👍 but nothing shows up for me in library, I have around 1000 movies
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to stress test the application a bit more next week
It’s the same for me. No library or sources page.
Have you thought about a discord server for communication and ideas?
I feel like this is a much needed app.
Hi! For the video player, is it limited to what the web browser support or it use an external video player. Sorry I can’t test because I need a windows install. Thanks!
Currently it uses the browser video player similar to jellyfin
I threw this on my server to see how it runs, I’m not able to see any of my library( I think this is the connection to jellyfin) or any way that it connects to my sonarr/radarr services? I tripple checked that the api keys are correct but I’m still not seeing anything. I saw that someone else said that it does browser caching and I have a large library so maybe that is the issue. I look forward to seeing how this project progresses because I host all of these services and it will be nice to have one place to go for them.
I fixed a bug regarding the jellyfin api in v0.3.0, see if it fixes the issue
Hi reiverr is working better after updating to 0.3.0, thanks for this nice software no more cors errors, sources are listed, movies can be streamed. I would prefer opening the movies using the jellyfin url instead of bulltin player(need ability to switch langs, subs etc)
which browser do you use
I use firefox as my daily driver, that’s safari in the gif
Woooow looking slick
Are there any potential plans for DLNA support?
I’m not familiar with that, is it something that jellyfin supports?
Yeah, JF uses it as an alternative to Chromecast. There should be an API for it, as the server handles all of the communication
Then it shouldn’t be of the limits!
