Requesting Media with Seerr
Seerr is how you ask for a movie or TV show to be added to TwilightTV. Once approved, it gets pulled in automatically and shows up in Jellyfin — no admin has to manually track it down.
Logging In
Go to seerr.twilighttv.myddns.me and click Sign in with Jellyfin. Use the same username and password you use for Jellyfin.

No separate account needed — see Account & Access Help if you're having trouble logging in.
Browsing & Discovering
The Seerr home screen shows trending and popular movies/shows, similar to what you'd see on a streaming service's homepage. You can also use the search bar at the top to look up something specific by name.

Requesting a Movie
- Search for or click on the movie
- On its detail page, click Request
- That's it — the request goes to an admin's queue (or auto-approves, depending on server settings) and starts downloading

Requesting a TV Show
TV requests work the same way, but you can choose which seasons you want:
- Search for or click on the show
- Click Request
- Select All Seasons, or pick specific seasons if you only want certain ones
- Confirm the request

Checking Request Status
Click your profile icon (top right) → Requests to see everything you've asked for and its status:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Waiting on admin approval |
| Approved / Processing | Approved and currently downloading |
| Partially Available / Available | Partially/Fully downloaded — go watch it in Jellyfin! |
| Declined | Not approved (An admin will reply in Discord and tell you why.) |

Notifications
You get a notification via The Twilight Zone's Discord when your request becomes available. Check your profile's Settings tab to see or adjust your notification preferences.
Tips
- You don't need to request something that's already on the server — check Jellyfin first, or just search in Seerr, which will show it as Available instead of offering a Request button.
- Requesting a show you're only partway through? You can request just the seasons you haven't seen yet.
- If a request sits as Pending for a while, check with an admin, they will investigate and explain what's going on — no need to re-request it, that can create duplicates.
Still stuck? Reach out to an admin on The Twilight Zone's Discord.
