The tool provides a streamlined and engaging way to handle media requests, making it ideal for homelabs where multiple users might be interacting with the media library.
Chat Integration
One of the standout features of Requestrr is its integration with chat platforms like Discord and Slack. Users can make requests, check the status of their requests, and receive notifications all from within their favorite chat application. This makes it easy to interact with the media request system without having to switch contexts or learn new interfaces.
For Discord, Requestrr can use bots to handle commands and provide responses directly in channels or private messages. For Slack, it integrates with channels and direct messages, offering similar functionality and ease of use.
Request Management
Requestrr allows users to submit requests for new movies or TV shows, and it integrates with Radarr and Sonarr to handle these requests automatically. Once a request is made, Requestrr tracks it, sending updates and notifications about its status. Users can see when their requested media is being processed, when it’s been added to Radarr or Sonarr, and when it is available for viewing.
Notifications and Updates
Requestrr keeps users informed with real-time notifications about their media requests. It can send updates when a request is approved, when downloads start, and when content is available. Notifications are customizable based on user preferences and the chat platform being used.
Custom Commands and Settings
Requestrr supports custom commands that can be configured to handle specific actions or queries. For example, you can create commands to check the status of all pending requests, list recent requests, or even clear out old requests. This customization makes it easier to tailor the system to fit the needs of your homelab setup.
Easy Setup and Configuration
Setting up Requestrr is straightforward. It runs on Docker and can be easily integrated with Radarr and Sonarr.
