Ombi Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.

  The Overseer part In truth, I'm less familiar with and it's full feature set, But at a quick glance it looks like it would be similar to ombi (https://ombi.io/). I know for a fact that you can set up OMBI to let users just type in stuff and it will grab it for them. I didn't like that and opted to manually approve requests. Source: about 3 years ago

• This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....

  Now add Ombi so that shared plex users have the ability to request content by themselves. Source: over 3 years ago

• Plex, sonarr, and radarr have saved my sanity... and ruined my gaming computer at the same time

  Now pipe that all through ombi and you will live like a king! Also, don't forget to add your watchlist from plex to radarr and sonarr. Source: over 3 years ago

• Looking for something similar

  If what you're looking for is a request handled from the user's you give access to. Then you should check out Ombi. Ombi. Source: over 3 years ago

• LPT: You can set up a free VPN server on your router to watch Netflix as if you are at home

  I use Jellyfin to host my media and Ombi for users to request media. Ombi sends user requests to Radarr for movies, and Sonarr for TV shows. Source: over 3 years ago

• How the Netflix password sharing ban works, and how using your homelab VPN might solve it

  I use Ombi to see what's trending and request movies/shows to my *are services. Source: over 3 years ago

• Hi Fellow Plexers! what am I missing out on?

  Reading the instructions myself it does appear that way. I think Ombi would be an Overseerr alternative that does allow for a native install on Windows, although I don't have any experience with it myself. Source: over 3 years ago

• How safe is this? "Expose your home network" by Networkchuck

  Sonarr and radarr do not offer that, but Ombi provides the features you're asking about. It even hooks up to your plex user DB so users don't need another account. Https://ombi.io/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Best way to have a "Discover new series and movies by language" feature in a Sonarr / Radarr / Prowlarr docker stack

  I use Ombi as part of my stack but it doesn't look like it checks for torrents as a filtering mechanism. I would think that would take a lot of processing power when requesting it will tell Sonarr/Radarr to download it when a torrent becomes available. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Flemmarr: an easy way to automate configuration for your -arr apps with Docker

  However I think it will be useful for my family whom I share my Jellyfin media server with. I'm now setting up Jellyseerr and Ombi to work alongside the rest of the -arr apps. Those are "request apps", basically a nice frontend to send media requests to Sonarr and Radarr (as well as Lidarr in the case of Ombi). That's yet another layer of complexity though in the whole stack. Source: about 4 years ago

• Overseerr or Ombi ?

  Didn't recognize either of these apps exist until today. What do people prefer to‍ use and why? https://ombi.io/ https://overseerr.dev/. Source: about 4 years ago

• An Update to Paid Sharing

  Ombi - https://ombi.io You can allow requests to be automatically filled, or require approval. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Overseerr running slow, taking long time to load pages, tiles etc.

  I tried the OMBI demo (https://ombi.io/) but it doesn't have the category/genre filters like Overseerr. Source: about 4 years ago

• Download subtitles when movie is playing?

  It's actually not that complicated. You can set it up as a docker and it'd be really easy. Also you can couple it up with sth like jellyseerr or ombi. They are request apps so it can be completely automated and can be used by other clients, it will communicate with sonarr or radarr when you request for a movie/tv and automatically download without you having to intervene.

• Windows Server for plex instead of ubuntu?

  Ombi - It is for requesting content. It takes the request and redirects that to Sonarr/Radarr. Source: over 4 years ago

• So no love now?

  I've got mine automated with https://ombi.io/ Its brilliant my users don't need to ask me I just check ombi every so often and fulfill the request that then gose to sonarr or radarr. Source: over 4 years ago

• I made a thing! A python script to delete old, unwatched movie content. Open to feedback.

  This setting is for Ombi which is a request management tool. Source: over 4 years ago

• Somewhat of a noob question - but how do people amass this much of a collection? Is there something which lets them download stuff on the fly or do they have terabytes of film + tv shows stored?

  The only difference I made is that I got Ombi as the front head to allow people to view a "nicer" UI look to go through looking for whatever they want and that connects to Sonarr and Radarr to communicate getting the media. Source: over 4 years ago

• Is there any way I can set up my computer as a hub for my family to download torrents to?

  If you are up for selfhosted way, you might want to check Ombi (https://ombi.io/). In plex+sonarr+radarr stack it allows to request movies and shows. Source: over 4 years ago

• Hit a new record for concurrent streams

  Https://ombi.io/ Basically a way to let your users request things they want, and then I believe automatically find it for you and downloads it. Don't use it myself but have checked out out before. Source: over 4 years ago

• With all you kids posting your network diagrams, I present my old man (>60 yo) network diagram. Oh yeah, and get off my Instaface.

  You can automate the requests by using something like Ombi. It also supports user accounts. Source: almost 5 years ago
