Meet Discovarr

Discovarr is an open-source recommendation tool for your media library. It syncs your watch history from Jellyfin, Plex or Trakt, sends it to an AI model with a prompt you control, and comes back with suggestions for what to watch next.

When a suggestion looks good, you can request it straight from Discovarr through Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr or Overseerr. It works with Google Gemini, OpenAI or an Ollama server, using your own API key or endpoint.

Why Discovarr Makes Life Easier

• 🎯 Recommendations based on what you've watched, not on what a streaming service wants to promote.
• 📝 You write the prompt. Ask for slow-burn sci-fi, films like your favourites, or anything else you can put into words.
• 📥 Found something? Request it in one step instead of copying titles into another app.
• ⏰ Scheduled jobs sync your history and refresh suggestions without you having to remember.
• 🔌 Pick your AI provider and switch whenever you like.

Product Highlights

Custom prompts are saved and reusable, with template variables for things like the media name, a result limit, your whole library or your favourites.

Watch history comes in from Jellyfin or Plex, or from Trakt, so your suggestions reflect what you've already seen.

Scheduling uses cron syntax, so history syncs and new rounds of suggestions run on your timetable.

Your settings live in Discovarr's database, which is backed up automatically before upgrades, and ElfHosted keeps its own backups of your config too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own AI key?
Yes. Discovarr uses the provider you connect: a Google Gemini or OpenAI API key, or an Ollama server you can reach. Usage is billed by that provider.

Which media servers does it read from?
Jellyfin and Plex, plus Trakt for watch history.

Does it request things automatically?
You decide. Discovarr suggests, and you send the titles you want to Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr or Overseerr.

Can I change what it recommends?
Yes. Write and save your own prompts, and use template variables to feed in your favourites or your whole library.

Discovarr turns your own watch history into a shortlist of what to watch next, and gets it requested in a click.
