How to request a movie or TV show

Can't find something on XPV Hub? You can ask for it right inside Jellyfin. It takes about a minute. Your request goes to the server owner. Once it's approved and downloaded, it shows up in your library.

1Open search

Click the Search button (the magnifying glass) in the top-right corner.

The Search button in the top-right corner

2Search for the movie

Type the name of the movie in the search bar. Results show up as you type.

Jurassic Park typed into the search bar

3Request it

If the movie isn't on the server yet, it shows up under Discover on Seerr. Point your mouse at the poster (on a phone or tablet, tap it), then click Request. That's it. Your request has been sent.

The Request button on the Jurassic Park poster

Tip: check it's the right movie. Click the poster (anywhere except the Request button) to see more about it: the year, cast and story. You can press Request from there too. Press X to close it.

The Jurassic Park details window

Tip: get a whole series of movies at once. Some results are marked Collection, like Mission: Impossible Collection. Click one to see every movie in it. Leave Select all movies on to get them all, or switch off the ones you don't want. Then click Request Selected Movies.

Requesting a TV show

TV shows work the same way. Search for the show, point at the poster and click Request. Then switch on the seasons you want (or Select all seasons) and click Request.

Some shows have more than one version with the same name. Check the year on the poster. For example, the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon is from 2005.
