Integration Modes

Blockbusterr supports two delivery modes. Discovery is separate: each job can use any source supported by its job type, including Trakt, TMDB, or Simkl.

Direct mode

Adds movies to Radarr and shows to Sonarr immediately. This is best when you trust the job’s assigned rules to deliver without approval.

Jellyseerr / Seerr mode

Creates Jellyseerr or Seerr requests. Approval and request limits are controlled by the user associated with the request.

Direct mode

Configure Radarr for movie jobs and Sonarr for show jobs:

jobs:
  mode: direct
  sync_interval: 24h
  list:
    - id: weekly-popular-movies
      name: Weekly Popular Movies
      enabled: true
      type: popular
      source: tmdb
      media: movie
      limit: 50
      sync_interval: "0 8 * * 0"

radarr:
  url: http://radarr:7878
  api_key: your_radarr_api_key
  quality_profile: 1
  root_folder: /movies
  minimum_availability: announced
  monitor: movieOnly

The mode on an individual job overrides jobs.mode. Direct movie jobs require Radarr; direct show jobs require Sonarr.

Jellyseerr / Seerr mode

Both servers use the same compatible integration. The config section and mode are still named jellyseerr for backward compatibility; the configured URL may point to Jellyseerr or Seerr.

jobs:
  mode: jellyseerr
  sync_interval: 24h
  list:
    - id: trending-shows
      name: Trending Shows
      enabled: true
      type: trending
      source: simkl
      media: show
      limit: 30

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

Blockbusterr applies the job’s assigned movie or show rule set before creating a request. Jellyseerr or Seerr then decides whether that request is automatically approved based on the requesting user’s permissions.

Per-job mode

You can mix modes by setting mode on a job:

jobs:
  mode: jellyseerr
  list:
    - id: direct-trending-movies
      name: Direct Trending Movies
      enabled: true
      type: trending
      source: tmdb
      media: movie
      limit: 20
      mode: direct

Changing a mode affects future runs only. Existing Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr, and Seerr entries are not moved.
