Connect Jellyseerr
Add Jellyseerr to Kochab with your API key and default port 5055.
Jellyseerr handles media requests for Jellyfin (and Plex). Kochab uses the Seerr API (Overseerr-compatible) for the Requests tab.
In Kochab the service type is labeled Seerr (shared with Overseerr).
What Kochab exposes through Jellyseerr
- Requests tab: pending, approved, available, and declined requests with approve/decline, edit, retry, and delete where the API allows
- Detail surface: pending/total request counts and link into Requests
- Push: new request and approved/denied notifications when configured
Not exposed through Jellyseerr
User management, server/library configuration, discovery settings, and OAuth for household users stay in Jellyseerr’s web UI. Now playing and library browsing use Jellyfin/Plex entries separately.
Before you start
In Jellyseerr: Settings -> General -> API Key. Copy the key shown there.
