Requesting a title
With your own Seerr server connected, Remedia also shows titles your library does not have, and lets you ask for them.
What you need
Seerr is a request manager that you, or whoever runs your server, set up beside Jellyfin. Remedia connects to your own Seerr server and to no other. Without one, nothing on this page appears in the app.
Your Seerr server has to be linked to the same Jellyfin server Remedia is signed in to, with Jellyfin sign-in switched on in Seerr's settings.
Connect
- Open Settings and select Seerr. The row is there while a Jellyfin server is signed in.
- Select Server Address and type your Seerr server's address with its port, for example http://192.168.1.100:5055.
- Select Connect.
Remedia signs you in to Seerr with the Jellyfin sign-in it already holds. Nothing more is typed. The page then shows Server, User and Sign Out.
When it asks for your Jellyfin password
In two cases Seerr cannot sign you in that way: Quick Connect is switched off on your Jellyfin server, or your Seerr is older than version 3.4. Remedia then shows Jellyfin Password Needed and adds a Jellyfin Password row. Enter it and select Connect again. The password is sent to your Seerr server once and is not kept.
What changes in the app
- Discover gains five rows of trending, popular and upcoming titles.
- Search gains an Available to Request row.
- A network's page lists everything on that network.
- A title you do not have carries a plus on its poster.
Request a title
- Select a poster with a plus. Its page tells you about the title and shows its cast. There is no Play button, because there is nothing to play yet.
- Select Request.
- Remedia asks first: Request (title)? The card opens with Cancel in focus, so a stray press requests nothing. Move to Request and select it.
For a film, Seerr looks for the film. For a series, it looks for every season that has an episode, without the specials.
The button then reads Requested. It also reads that way when someone has already asked for the title.
A request cannot be taken back from Remedia. To cancel one, use Seerr itself.
A series with no season out yet reads No Seasons Yet, and nothing is sent.
What the messages mean
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| No server answered at that address. | Check the address and port, and that the Apple TV can reach the server. Seerr's port is usually 5055. |
| That address didn't answer as a Seerr server. | Something else is at that address. Check the port. |
| This Seerr server isn't set up yet. | Finish Seerr's setup in a browser, then connect. |
| This Seerr server isn't linked to a Jellyfin server. | Seerr has to use Jellyfin as its media server for your sign-in to work. |
| This Seerr server is linked to a different Jellyfin server. | Sign Remedia in to the Jellyfin server Seerr uses, or connect to the right Seerr. |
| Jellyfin sign-in is switched off on this Seerr server. | Seerr's admin can switch it on in Seerr's settings, under Users. |
| Seerr turned the sign-in down. | Seerr's admin may need to add your account first. |
| Seerr did not take the request. | Your Seerr account may not be allowed to request, or has used up its quota. |
Good to know
- Pictures. Posters and artwork of titles you do not have come through your Seerr server when its image caching is on. Otherwise they are loaded from TMDB's picture site. See Privacy.
- A slow or stopped Seerr. After a failure, or a wait that ran out, Remedia leaves Seerr out for five minutes and shows only your library. Then it tries again.
- Signing out of Jellyfin, or signing in as another user, also forgets the Seerr connection.
Disconnect
Open Settings, Seerr, Sign Out. The Apple TV forgets the Seerr server. What you have requested stays in Seerr.
