Blockbusterr

Jellyseerr Integration

Jellyseerr mode creates requests instead of adding content directly to Radarr or Sonarr. Jellyseerr owns approval, quotas, notifications, quality profiles, and root-folder selection.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  1. Configure Radarr and/or Sonarr inside Jellyseerr.
  2. Copy the Jellyseerr API key from Settings → General.
  3. Ensure Blockbusterr can reach the Jellyseerr URL.

Configuration

Section titled “Configuration”
jobs:
  mode: jellyseerr


jellyseerr:
  url: http://jellyseerr:5055
  api_key: your_jellyseerr_api_key

When the containers share a Docker network, use the container name rather than localhost.

Request as a specific user

Section titled “Request as a specific user”

An API key normally creates requests with its own permissions. You can set a Jellyseerr user ID:

jellyseerr:
  url: http://jellyseerr:5055
  api_key: your_jellyseerr_api_key
  user_id: "2"

Alternatively, local login credentials can be used for request creation:

jellyseerr:
  url: http://jellyseerr:5055
  api_key: your_jellyseerr_api_key
  request_credentials:
    email: user@example.com
    password: your_password

Example job

Section titled “Example job”
jobs:
  mode: jellyseerr
  sync_interval: 24h
  list:
    - id: family-movies
      name: Family Movies
      enabled: true
      type: popular
      source: simkl
      media: movie
      limit: 30
      sync_interval: "0 8 * * *"

The job’s discovery source does not change the request workflow. Blockbusterr fetches candidates, applies the global movie filters, and creates Jellyseerr requests for accepted items.

Approval behavior

Section titled “Approval behavior”

Blockbusterr does not provide Jellyseerr with score-based approval thresholds. To control approval:

  • Configure movie and show auto-approval on the Jellyseerr user.
  • Configure request quotas in Jellyseerr.
  • Use Blockbusterr’s global filters to reject unwanted candidates before requesting them.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
  • Verify the URL from the Blockbusterr host or container.
  • Verify the API key in Jellyseerr.
  • Confirm the selected user can request the media type.
  • Check Activity Entries for filtered, duplicate, or failed items.
  • Confirm the job’s discovery provider is configured.
