Jellyseerr Request Button for Jellyfin

A Jellyfin plugin that adds a one-click request button to movie and TV show detail pages. Requests are sent directly to your Jellyseerr instance — no need to leave Jellyfin.

Features

• One-click requesting — request movies and TV shows directly from Jellyfin detail pages
• Advanced mode — optionally pick quality profiles before requesting
• Auto-refresh — button state updates automatically as requests are processed
• Configurable — choose which media types show the button, customize text/icon, set notification preferences
• Status indicators — button changes color to reflect request status (requested, processing, available)

Installation

Add as a Jellyfin Plugin Repository (Recommended)

No building required. Just add the repository URL in Jellyfin and install.

1. In Jellyfin, go to Dashboard > Plugins > Repositories
2. Click Add and enter:
   • Repository Name: Jellyseerr Request Button
   • Repository URL:

     https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Haxford/Jellyfin---Jellyseer-request/main/manifest.json
     

3. Click Save
4. Go to the Catalog tab, find Jellyseerr Request Button, and click Install
5. Restart Jellyfin

That's it — the plugin will be downloaded and installed automatically.

How It Works

The plugin adds a request button to media detail pages in Jellyfin. When clicked:

1. The plugin resolves the Jellyfin item to a TMDB ID
2. Sends a request to your Jellyseerr instance via its API
3. Updates the button state to reflect the current status

The button shows different states:

Color	Status
Purple	Ready to request
Orange	Pending / Processing
Green	Successfully requested
Grey	Already available
Red	Error
