What is Jellyseerr Media Manager?
The Jellyseerr skill for Openclaw Skills provides a robust programmatic interface to manage your self-hosted media library. It allows users to search for content and submit requests for movies or television series directly to a Jellyseerr instance, which then coordinates with services like Radarr or Sonarr for automated downloading. This integration is essential for users looking to bridge their AI agent workflows with their home theater management systems.
By utilizing this skill, you can bypass manual web interfaces and handle media discovery and acquisition through structured commands. Whether you are adding a single film or an entire TV series, this Openclaw Skills extension ensures your media server stays updated with the latest content while providing clear visibility into request statuses and availability.
Jellyseerr Media Manager Use Cases
- Requesting new movies or TV shows for a Plex or Jellyfin server without manual web UI entry.
- Checking if specific media is already available or currently pending in the request queue.
- Requesting specific seasons of a TV show to save storage space.
- Setting up automated media request workflows for home lab environments.
- Monitoring the progress of requested content through CLI tools.
How Jellyseerr Media Manager Works
- The user initializes the skill by providing their Jellyseerr server URL and a valid API key.
- Search queries are sent to the Jellyseerr API to identify the correct media IDs for movies or shows.
- Request scripts submit a payload to the server, specifying the content and desired seasons.
- The skill can optionally track the status of these requests via periodic polling.
- If configured, a background service listens for webhooks to provide instant notifications when media is ready.
Jellyseerr Media Manager Setup
To begin using this skill within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, configure your server details:
scripts/setup.sh
You will be prompted for your Jellyseerr server URL and your API key (found in Jellyseerr Settings > General). For automated background notifications, you can install the webhook service:
sudo scripts/install_service.sh
