Overseerr is an open-source request management tool for Plex media servers. It lets friends and family browse and request movies and TV shows through a beautiful web interface. Requests are automatically sent to Sonarr and Radarr for downloading and organizing. Bytesized Hosting offers Overseerr as a one-click install alongside Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr.

How do I let friends request movies on my Plex server?

Install Overseerr or Ombi alongside your Plex server. On Bytesized Hosting, this is a one-click install from the Bytesized Panel. Connect Overseerr to Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr.

The Complete Request Pipeline

Overseerr

The modern request management tool for Plex. Beautiful interface where users browse, discover, and request movies and TV shows. Integrates with Sonarr and Radarr for automatic fulfillment.

Ombi

Alternative request system supporting Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. Users search for content, submit requests, and get notifications when their request is ready to watch.

Automatic Fulfillment

Requests flow from Overseerr/Ombi to Sonarr (TV) or Radarr (movies), which search indexers, download the content, and organize it into your media library. Hands-free from request to stream.

User Management

Control who can request what. Set per-user quotas, approve or auto-approve requests, and manage access levels. Keep your media server under control.

Notifications
