Overseerr #5

Open t-abraham opened 2 weeks ago

Hi I see you have connected the direct APIs of the arr apps but wont it be easier and better to connect it with overseerr in that case one can set up multiple arr apps in overseerr without hampering the script or yours. Just a thought

I have never worked with Overseer, but from what I can tell, it only integrates with Sonarr and Radarr (and Plex), right?

If it's only these two plugins, I don't see the immediate benefit of switching to overseer instead, as both of these are already integrated quite well :)

What do you mean by "without hampering the script or yours"? As long as Overseer also lets the underlying Arr apps know when something is monitored, these two shouldn't really interfere with one another. This bot is basically another way to interact with the Sonarr and Radarr interface.

yes you are right... I was targeting to the users who use overseerr with Sonarr and Radarr (and Plex). If the bot interracts with overseerr directly then no need to add Sonarr and Radarr apis... just another approach.

what i meant is by "without hampering the script or yours"? is that instead of expossing the arr apis to multiple handlers, its better to expose to one and use that ones api to the bot. just a thought...

I will leave this open for now and think about it some more.

I saw that Overseer has some of its own abstractions (like user management, etc.), which I haven't had to worry about so far. So I will keep this on the back burner for now, but in general, it definitely would be a usable plugin to add :)

A possible advantage of integrating with overseerr is that the server admin can have more control about what media ends up in the server, since there are things supported like admin approvals, request limits per user etc.
