requestrr VS searcharr

Requestrr - Older, has a few features. Was dropped by a lot of people about 2 years ago as there wasn't much updates to it. But checking the GitHub it was last updated in May

Check out https://github.com/darkalfx/requestrr. It integrates with Discord to make it very accessible. And free.

Something like https://github.com/darkalfx/requestrr works well for letting friends/family request content easily.

You should add requestrr, which is a content requesting service that connects to a discord bot so channel users can request content via their Discord app.

Using the "Arr's," Radarr for Movies, Sonarr for TV... plus a requesting system such as Overseerr or my favorite, Requestrr

Requestrr - Requests for Plex through a Discord Bot

Requestrr - Same as above, but instead of a website, it's a discord bot

The goodreads method others have pointed out works but the list import is much slower and its frustrating. There maybe a way to speed this up but its not intuitive. The other option is Searcharr script which is essentially a telegram bot: https://github.com/toddrob99/searcharr

I also run a telegram bot on my Synology NAS. It’s a docker container, and since it doesn’t need inbound connections, there is no network setup involved. The bot I’m running is searcharr and there are instructions in the readme and a docker-compose.yml file that may be helpful if you’re a docker newbie.

Searcharr?

If you want to enable debug logging and post your log, I can take a look. You can pm me the log here or on telegram (@toddrob). There is also a Searcharr Telegram group.

I have to think more about how I want to integrate something like this into my ecosystem, and I'll probably end up writing something myself since I like things to be tailored to my needs (case-in-point: searcharr). One possibility is to continue running manually and have an interactive mode, listing each collection (along with the movies in that collection that I do and do not already have) and allowing me to decide whether to add or not. Another possibility is to build a web UI (always running, updating on a configured interval, maybe with notifications for new collections found) that will be populated with missing collection info and allow selecting/adding of individual lists as desired. I'm also thinking it might be worth exploring having a single list and adding movies to it rather than having a separate list for each collection; that may or may not be a good idea.

If you like telegram you can use Searcharr. https://github.com/toddrob99/searcharr

If you use Telegram, you can use Searcharr to allow users to add to Radarr and/or Sonarr.
