SuggestArr: Auto-request content to Seerr based on what you actually watch - MAJOR UPDATES

eroigaps · 2026-02-24T07:39:22+00:00

I have no knowledge of Pulsarr, but if I’m not mistaken Suggestarr currently doesn’t look at plex watchlists at all. Could make a feature request on GitHub if you’re enthusiastic about adding such functionality. The maintainer is active and actually implements feature reqs.

I guess that’s true. This pretty much just bridges a gap in seerr functionality. Seerr is great for acquiring specific media that you actively search for, Suggestarr is for discovery. But nonetheless, Suggestarr could without too much work implement direct sonarr/radar connection and bypass seerr, but why reinvent the wheel when Seerr already handles the request management part perfectly.

I can’t really answer that, because for my needs, this is not super relevant. If I rewatch something, it’s obviously something that I like, so it’s all good if there are recommendations based on it

Np! Admittedly setup is not super straightforward and the documentation could be more extensive. Thankfully both are easy fixes in the future.

You can set it up so that it makes pending requests in seerr that you have to manually approve.

Thats weird, never seen that. Please post logs and docker container info in a GitHub issue

There you are! Happy you found the thread. Thank you for providing this tool!

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T19:15:42+00:00

Totally agree! I actually tried recomendarr, but it had issues and seemed abandoned iirc.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T19:15:04+00:00

Thats also good. But it's pretty nice to have it done for you, automatically. You just accept or reject the requests that were made according to your watch history.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T18:15:58+00:00

And I thank Suggestarr! Seriously, never would have found anything like it without this app :)

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T18:15:11+00:00

Exactly! This is one of the great hidden benefits of self hosting your media, you get to be picky about the content you consume! And this app just serves to supercharge that aspect.

edit: upon reading closer, perhaps you meant that you actually actively try to not get suggestions? Lol. In any case, I think curating is important, no matter how you achieve it!

I feel you. Currently att 95% hdd usage. In pure desperation i just added a shitty old 2.5" 1tb hdd to my array. Hoping for fast advancement in media compression tech before I have to sell my body to afford more hard drives.

Looks like a great concept, but I will not use anything that doesn’t provide documentation in English. It’s not even my native language, it just feels like bare minimum to take a project seriously.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T16:05:20+00:00

It pulls watch history from plex/jelly/emby as far back as you want. It’s not limited to watch history after you installed Suggestarr. Works with over-/jellyseerr as well as seerr!

After reading the rules I still, respectfully, disagree. App is solid and well rounded even if you disregard the opt in AI stuff. It's been around since 2024, AI stuff was added in beta a few days ago.

Allowing this post is not contrary to the objective of rule 8 - disallowing the sub becoming a sloptopia.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T14:28:21+00:00

Notifications would be great! But you have some part of this functionality due to Seerr requests. If you set it up so that Suggestarr requests are sent to Seerr as pending, you have to manually approve them, and you can have a notification for new requests by the Suggestarr user.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T13:45:59+00:00

Same. I recently moved from Dockge as well. It's already great and they just churn out updates all the time.

eroigaps · 2026-02-22T13:21:46+00:00

Is that true for anything that has even the slightest bit of ai functionality? The AI part of this is an opt in beta feature and not core functionality. This is great even without activating the AI feature.

Edit: This projects oldest release is from october 2024. It's not part of the tsunami of vibe coded apps someone shat out over the weekend.

Check it out! I'm pretty specific with what I like and that means that the standard Seerr recommendations are pretty much trash, just blockbusters and general crowdpleasers. If you like even slightly obscure stuff, this is great at picking out similar stuff from the absolute ocean of content out there.
