Watchlist

The Watchlist feature lets you view your Jellyfin watchlist directly inside SeerrClient and request anything on it without switching apps.

Note

The Watchlist tab is only available when your Seerr server is configured with a Jellyfin backend (Jellyseerr or Seerr with Jellyfin integration). It is not available on Overseerr (which uses Plex watchlists through a different mechanism).

Accessing your watchlist

The Watchlist tab appears in the bottom navigation bar when your server supports it. Tap it to load your Jellyfin watchlist.

If the Watchlist tab does not appear, your server either does not support it or it is not enabled. Check your server’s Jellyfin configuration.

Browsing your watchlist

Your watchlist is displayed as a responsive poster grid:

• 3 columns on standard iPhone widths
• 2 columns on compact widths (older devices, split-screen)

Each poster shows the movie or TV show art. Tap any item to open its detail screen where you can request it, view cast and episode information, or see its availability status on your server.

Movies and TV Shows

Use the segmented control at the top of the Watchlist screen to switch between:

• Movies — your watchlisted movies
• TV Shows — your watchlisted TV series

Each segment has its own independent scroll position and pagination state.

Pull-to-refresh

Pull down on the Watchlist screen to reload your watchlist from Jellyfin. This is useful if you have recently added items to your watchlist in Jellyfin and want them to appear in SeerrClient immediately.

Infinite scroll

Your watchlist loads a page at a time. As you scroll toward the bottom of the grid, the next page loads automatically.

Making requests from your watchlist

Tap any watchlist item to open its detail screen. From there, tap Request to submit a media request to your Seerr server. After a successful request, the item’s status badge updates immediately.

Watchlist vs. Requests

Your Jellyfin watchlist and your Seerr requests are separate things:

• The Watchlist is a personal list of titles you want to watch — it lives in Jellyfin
• Requests are items you have asked your Seerr server to download — they go through Radarr/Sonarr

You can request something directly from your watchlist, but having an item on your watchlist does not automatically create a Seerr request.
