I have a plex server, I keep hearing about these programs. I don’t really understand what they do or how to use/set them up

    I’m searching for a service where I can have a list of releasing movies and series and just add them to a kind of todo list, so that I can see which movies are out now and don’t remember everything in my head or so. Does Overseerr also kind of do this? Or is it rather only applicable for people with shared libraries? I still am going to download the content manually probably.

    I’m currently doing this manually with a notion database, just entering movie names and release dates and download state manually…

      That’s how I use it right now for my personal library, just browsing Overseer from time to time and marking movies and shows I want to watch at some point. There are predefined lists for popular or upcoming releases, and it also has a very powerful filter system. I think you do have to have the appropriate *arr app installed to be able to mark and request things, but not 100% sure on that.

        I’ve now installed it, it even directly connects to Plex haha, and pretty seamless. I’ll use it just like that for now, maybe will take a look at radarr etc.

        Thank you!
