How to Request New Movies/TV Shows

I have set up some services behind the scenes to allow you, the user, to request new Movies and TV shows to be added to my plex library. You will be notified by email (the email associated with your plex account) when it is available for your viewing.

Step 1: Access Requests Page

This page can be accessed, like Plex and other services, via my home page. Just click on the button that says Request Movie/TV Show.

Once there, you can log in using the plex account that you use to access my plex server.

Note: If you are unable to log into Ombi, but are able to access Plex, then let me know. Sometimes the plex users aren't automatically imported to the request system correctly, so I have to fix it on the back end. Just send me an email and I should have it sorted out for you real quick.

Step 2: Make a Request

Once you are able to access the requests system, you are now able to request movies and tv shows to your heart's content.

Movies:

The way you request a movie is by first searching for the movie or show in the search bar. Then, once you find the movie you want to request, simply click the request button along the right hand side of the screen when you click on the movie that you want (circled in red).

TV Shows:

The way to request a TV show is similar. Search for the show that you want to request, click it and then click the request button, just like for a movie. However, if the show has multiple seasons, you will get an additional window to let you select what seasons of the show you are requesting.

The advanced options portion of the window that you see below may not appear for you. That is fine, it is all set to work automatically.

Exceptions:

There are a couple types of media which will be more difficult to come by. In general, relatively popular Western media will be fine. Old shows/movies that haven't been released on modern formats will be difficult to get, but I will try. Anime will probably take me a bit longer to turn around as I often need to do those manually since there are many different language/qualities available to sort through. Feel free to request these things, but it might just take longer to get them to you. If I can't find something, I will let you know.
