PART 11 - Configuring Jellyseerr

http://localhost:5055 jellyseerr

When you open Jellyseer for the first time, you'll be asked to sign in… select "Use your Jellyfin Account", and enter the details from your Jellyfin server in order to link it to Jellyseerr.

Jellyfin URL: http://localhost:8096
Email Address: The email address is only used if you want to set up notifications when media has been downloaded, however it is a mandatory field.
Username: Same username as Jellyfin
Password: Same password as Jellyfin

After connecting Jellyseerr to Jellyfin, you will need to synchronise the libraries between the two applications.

Select "Sync Libraries", then use the slide toggle to select "Movies" and "Series", However…. DO NOT PRESS "START SCAN", skip the library scan and go straight to "Continue".

NOTE: We skip the library scan on initial setup as it can take quite a while to scan the libraries, it is also dependant on Jellyfin having its libraries fully scanned and up to date, so it will be better to scan the libraries after all the configurations are completed.

NOTE: Adult Content - Jellyseerr does not manage Adult content requests, so if you are using Whisparr, the library will appear in "Jellyfin Libraries", however there is no need to activate it for syncing. If the library exists in Jellyfin, it will be seen in Jellyseerr, you just don't need to enable it.

After adding the connectors to Radarr and Sonarr, Jellyseerr will be fully functional, however we want to do some additional configurations before importing users and media information from Jellyfin.

Go to "Settings" -- "General" and make any changes to region and language as needed.

Go to "Settings" -- "Users" and make any changes for users, you may want to change the default permissions assigned to new users.

If you want to allow all users to automatically request, approve and download any media type and quality up to 1080P, then you would select "Request", "Auto-Approved", and "Auto-Request". You can select additional permissions and allow automated 4K requests, however the data will quickly add up on the server if is it not controlled, so grant this privilege with due care.

NOTE: These privileges / permissions are applied when new accounts are created or imported from Jellyfin, they do not effect existing user accounts.

Go to "Settings" -- "Jellyfin" and select "Start Scan" to commence scanning the Jellyfin libraries for all media.

Go to "Settings" -- "Notifications", you can add any email server settings or integrations if you want to get notifications on the status of your media requests.

Go to the "Users" menu, and you can now create local users, or "Import Jellyfin Users" (preferred). The new users will be granted the privileges / permissions which we set up earlier.
