Connect Seerr

Connect Jellyseerr, Overseerr, or Seerr to Kochab for the Requests tab.

Kochab uses the Seerr API (Overseerr-compatible) for the Requests tab. One connection covers Jellyseerr (for Jellyfin), Overseerr (for Plex), and Seerr - they share the same API, so you add whichever one your household runs.

What Kochab exposes through Seerr

  • Requests tab: pending, approved, available, and declined requests with approve/decline, edit, retry, and delete where the API allows
  • Issues tab: open issues reported against your titles, across every configured Seerr connection
  • Report an issue: file a new issue against a title from its detail screen
  • Discover: Seerr contributes to Kochab’s Discover feed alongside your other configured sources
  • Detail surface: pending/total request counts and link into Requests
  • Push: new request and approved/denied notifications. Kochab registers the webhook in Seerr for you when you add the service

Not exposed through Seerr

User management, server/library configuration, discovery settings, and OAuth for household users stay in Seerr’s web UI. Now playing and library browsing use Jellyfin/Plex entries separately.
