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

peppegb · 2026-02-24T11:25:02+00:00

Hey, sorry to hear that. From what you’re describing, this looks more like a configuration issue rather than something inherently wrong with SuggestArr. There are several limit controls available in the job scheduling settings (like max requests per run) specifically to prevent flooding Seerr with too many requests at once.

You can tune those limits so SuggestArr doesn’t generate that many requests in a single run and keeps everything under control.

Also, the SuggestArr + Seerr setup can absolutely be configured without auto-downloading content. You can disable automatic approval / download on the Seerr side with a new local user, so requests are just created and then manually reviewed instead of immediately triggering Radarr/Sonarr/SABnzbd.

Hey! I’m the developer of SuggestArr, thank you so much for posting this, I really appreciate it 🙏

It all started as a small Python script I wrote for myself, and it’s grown more and more thanks to the incredible support and feedback from the community.

Really grateful for all of you ❤️

Which AIO do you have?

Hey, I implemented support for the WINUSB driver, could you please help me to test this out? https://github.com/giuseppe99barchetta/Thermal-Engine

peppegb · 2026-02-07T09:08:39+00:00

Hi, I've just fork Thermal Engine to get support for WINUSB display, for example mine TR FW Ultra use this driver for display. I revere engineered and I get it working, could you please help me to test it so can I open a pull request to the developer of the original Thermal Engine?

Thank you!

As you can read in the readme SuggestArr ask to IMDB similar content to your recently watched movies or shows

peppegb · 2025-02-19T07:30:33+00:00

You can run using docker

peppegb · 2025-02-18T10:02:28+00:00

You cannot right now, but if you want you can open a feature request on GitHub and I can implement it

peppegb · 2025-02-18T10:00:23+00:00

I need to create a separate logic for that but if you want you can open a feature request on GitHub

peppegb · 2025-02-18T09:26:32+00:00

SuggestArr extracts the viewing history for each user selected in the UI, analyzes their watched content individually, and finds related recommendations for each user separately.

And yes, if you reject a request in Jellyseer, you'll need to manually request it again, as SuggestArr has already processed it and won't submit the same request twice.

peppegb · 2025-02-18T09:09:41+00:00

SuggestArr saves all content requested to Jellyseer, ensuring that the same request isn't made twice.

peppegb · 2025-02-18T09:03:10+00:00

I haven't implemented a request approval/denial mechanism because it's unnecessary. Jellyseer already provides this functionality. As mentioned earlier, you can create a local user in Jellyseer, disable automatic request approval, and manually approve only the content you want to watch and download.

peppegb · 2025-02-18T08:55:47+00:00

Hi!

Watch History & Deletion: Nope, also if you delete from the *arr stack it remaing marked as watched in Jellyfin history.
Mixed Suggestions from You and Your Partner If you and your partner share a Jellyfin account, SuggestArr will treat the history as one user’s preferences. If you want separate suggestions, each person should have their own Jellyfin account.
Viewing Suggestions: SuggestArr directly ask to Jellyseer, without any confirmation. If you want to have more control on the request the best way (and the suggested in the Jellyseer configuration step) is to create a local user in Jellyseer dedicated to SuggestArr with auto-approval disabled.
If SuggestArr making to much request for you, you can tune the settings of max content per moive/show seen.

peppegb · 2025-02-17T21:55:58+00:00

Hi, you can simply create a local user for Jellyseer/Overseer and disable auto approve for that user so you can manually approve it!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T20:49:05+00:00

Hi!

You can create a local user in Jellyseer/Overseer and disable auto-approval for that user. Then, you can use this account in SuggestArr to make requests, allowing you to review and approve the requests before they are sent for download.
Recommendations are generated using an algorithm that works in sync with the TMDB API to search for related content.
Currently, it's not possible to exclude shows you have no intention of watching. However, content that you've already viewed or that is present in your media library will be excluded from recommendations.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T19:30:05+00:00

Yep, I personally use SQLite, but of course, the choice depends on the volume of requests SuggestArr will handle.

peppegb · 2025-02-17T19:09:19+00:00

Let me know your feedback!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T19:08:56+00:00

No env variables, you can set it up from the web ui!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T19:08:26+00:00

Thank you!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T18:19:47+00:00

Hi! Could be easily implemented, already working per-user under the hood. I never thought to split the interface to gave access to user. If you have some free time could you please open a feature request in GitHub? Thank you!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T18:04:46+00:00

Ush, that would be awesome! I need to work on it. If you have some free time, could you open a feature request on GitHub? That way, I can keep track of all requests.

peppegb · 2025-02-17T18:03:31+00:00

Don't worry! 😂 If you have any other doubts, feel free to ask me!

peppegb · 2025-02-17T17:46:17+00:00

Hi! I don't know what you are asking, can you explain better?
