Jellyseerr & Seerr Notifications

Request Notifications

If you have Jellyseerr or Seerr configured as external services, JellyWatch can notify you when new pending media requests are detected.

How It Works

JellyseerrNotificationManager

• Polls both Jellyseerr and Seerr services for the active server every 15 seconds.
• Combines the pending request counts from both services into a single total.
• Sends a notification only when the total count increases compared to the last notified count.
• Resets its state on server switch (RefreshEvent.General) or when external services change (RefreshEvent.ExternalServices).

SeerrNotificationManager

• Polls only the Seerr service for the active server every 30 seconds independently.
• Sends a notification on its own dedicated Android channel (seerr_requests_channel) when the Seerr request count increases.

Notification Channels

Both channels use IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT with badge, vibration, and a custom notification sound.

Configuration

1. Ensure a Jellyseerr or Seerr external service is configured and enabled for the active server.
2. In Settings → Notifications → Request Notifications, toggle on:
   • Jellyseerr notifications — only available when a Jellyseerr service is connected.
   • Seerr notifications — only available when a Seerr service is connected.
3. Toggles are greyed out if no matching service is configured.

Notification Content

• Title: Jellyseerr channel name (e.g. "Jellyseerr Notifications")
• Body: Pluralized count string, e.g. "3 pending requests"
• Tap action: Opens JellyWatch main screen
• Auto-cancel: Yes — dismissed automatically when tapped

Requirements

• A configured and enabled Jellyseerr or Seerr external service for the active server.
• Global notifications enabled (notifications_enabled = true).
• Android notification permission granted.

Request notification toggles are only shown in Admin mode.
