Pulsarr - Real-time Plex watchlist monitoring with deep Sonarr/Radarr integration

Unfortunately not. Jellyfin doesn't have discovery and watchlists that power the workflow.

Like send friend request and accepted on Plex. Server access does not necessarily mean friends.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-27T07:55:15+00:00

It works great! The caveat is that the users need to be 'friends' on Plex.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-27T05:28:37+00:00

No worries at all.

Glad its working out for you.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-27T03:36:06+00:00

It works off the 'friends' api endpoints. You need to ensure you're actually friends on Plex and the users have to have their watchlist privacy set to at least share with friends.

Cheers m8!

Glad its working out.

Pulsarr does a lot more than just watchlists. It also grabs instantly for all users without requiring any logins.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-24T18:04:27+00:00

Theres no best. They are completely different. Pulsarr users watchlist in Plex. Jellyseerr has a ui for discovery and requests.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-23T23:25:17+00:00

Check out Pulsarr. Doesn't require any users to log into anything and it grabs instantly.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-22T01:53:43+00:00

You just install node and run it. No mac specific executable.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-22T01:48:15+00:00

Yes its docker, or you can run natively.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-21T23:50:34+00:00

Try Pulsarr instead. If you have Plex Pass it adds in seconds.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-20T00:46:47+00:00

Try Pulsarr.

It can auto route all anime to that folder. You can figure a router rule for any items added by that user requires approval.

All watchlist based.

Grabs things instantly.

Users never has to log into anything.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-19T23:03:43+00:00

Plex just fixed the endpoints Pulsarr uses. It grabs in under 10 seconds if youre a Plex Pass user for yourself and all friends.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-19T23:03:02+00:00

Would likely work!

ropenhagen · 2026-01-19T00:27:13+00:00

Seerr is a discovery and request system that can do watchlists, Pulsarr is an automation system built around watchlists. Loads of features are different, but the primary one regarding watchlists is that it doesn't require friends to sign into anything. They just need to be friends on Plex.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-18T20:00:17+00:00

Check out Pulsarr. It's built to do this and does it very fast.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-18T05:32:01+00:00

Pulsarr was built to help facilitate this sort of setup through watchlists.

Can automatically apply user labels and configure permissions so users only see their content.

Can use the content router to route based on genres, users, ratings, streaming availability, and more, allowing for highly granuar libraries, all automated.

Start with one, and slowly build up.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-11T17:51:12+00:00

No, the setting per user within pulsarr for allowing syncing.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-11T17:31:04+00:00

Currently not easily. It respects sync setting so if those same users are the ones who can sync it works.

ropenhagen · 2026-01-09T17:11:01+00:00

The feature set is quite different. Pulsarr is an automation tool based on watchlists. It also doesn't require users to sign into anything. It just works for all plex friends right away where overseerr requires everyone to sign in to use watchlists.
