How to add Plex AND Jellyfin to the same seerr ?

[shy anvil]

Hey there, I would like my users to be able to log in either with Jellyfin or Plex, I linked my Jellyfin to Seerr, but I can't find how to add plex too ? Is it even possible ?

[pliant timber]

No

💔

Just made the whole jellyseerr+overseerr migration thinking it was.. is this something planned yet ?

[pliant timber]

Yes

[pliant timber]

Youll need to migrate anyways. Jellyseerr and overseerr is no longer maintained

[shy anvil]

Yeah sure, but I could keep my overseerr setup aside for Plex User until the feature release :D

Thanks for your work anyway!!

[pliant timber]

No

Overseerr is unmaintained

And deprecated

And uses very outdated dependencies

That have several security vulnerabilities

I would recommend migrating overseerr -> seerr

Even for your plex users

Any idea when we could have both? I migrated thinking I could add Plex and Jellyfin to Seerr. I want to have the link in Seerr when looking a movie to be able to play it on both platform.

I use Plex to look content and I watch using Plex or Jellyfin, but Jellyfin language settings are better especially for casting to chromecast and Jellyfin has less image downgrade, but the movie search in it is horrible compared to Plex.

I can't wait to add both to Seerr, any ETA or approximative quarter/year?

[pliant timber]

Cant give an eta because we are all volunteers working on our free time

Its on our roadmap

Good, will it have an option to convert user from Plex to a local user linked with Plex? To be able to login with local and both account later

[pliant timber]

You dont have to do that

Your plex user is already a local login user

All media server accounts are also a local login account

[unique bloom]

It doesn't work like that in my instance. My admin account (ID 1) was made with Plex credentials and can't log without Plex. I must use Plex to login. Even changing my account password doesn't seems to work arounf that.

Do you have an idea on how I can login locally? Maybe using DB Browser to look and change in the DB?

[pliant timber]

Admin accounts

Need to set the password

In profile settings

This is done as a security feature

You dont change db

You change password normally

This has always been a thing since the birth of overseerr

[unique bloom]

Or maybe I forgot my previous password, because Seerr always said that it was changed successfully (even when the actual password is wrong). But it doesn't work to login with the new password.

That's why I think to change it in the DB because I can't login otherwise.

Or maybe I can remove the password in the DB? (Because I have no idea what else to do there to enable login without Plex...)

[pliant timber]

You need to use email and password not username. Whats the error you get

[unique bloom]

I was using the username, that's why. Thanks!

[shut spoke]

Yes this one caught me out too. Its very misleading because it says username (so one tries with the username that they created a local account with) - BUT you have to use your email address to login as a local user.

[pliant timber]

Its already fixed

The reason it was there was due to a design oversight.

[keen mason]

is there a pull request that we can track?
