If you’ve been looking for an easy way for friends and family to request media to your Emby, Jellyfin or Plex server, Requestrr is the new sauce. It utilizes the free chat platform known as Discord.

Requestrr is a chatbot used to simplify using services like Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi via the use of chat!

Requestrr was created to work with the Sonarr and Radarr media manager applications. It uses the API system to easily tie them together to create a chat request system. Simply create a Discord bot, fill in the bot details and you’re good to go. It really is that easy.

Features

Ability to request content via Discord

Apple’s Siri integration

Users can get notified when their requests complete

Sonarr/Radarr V2/V3 integration

Ombi V3 integration with support for per user roles/quotas

Fully configurable via a web portal

The administration web portal can easily be deployed via Docker with one simple command making installation very simple and hassle free.

docker run --name requestrr \ -p 4545:4545 \ -v path to config:/root/config \ --restart=unless-stopped \ darkalfx/requestrr

You can also find a Docker version for Synology within the Registry. Installation on Synology is super simple.

Then simply access the web portal at http://youraddress:4545/ to create your admin account. Now you can configure everything through the web portal.

This is where you enter your API keys along with the download paths and preferred quality. Here you can also create your own commands to activate the bot on Discord. The default trigger commands are !tv for Sonarr and !movie for Radarr followed by the name of the movie or tv show.

Once you have configured the bot and invited it to your Discord server, simply type !help to see all available commands.

Now you can begin requesting media and testing the commands in Discord.

I’ve never created a Discord bot before trying Requesterr. Their Wiki has a great guide for setting up the Discord bot making it effortless.

The Developer seems to be very active pushing releases and answering questions on their GitHub repository. People are flocking in making requests and I have been noticing new features just about every other week.
