Ombi
Media request system for Plex and Emby servers
About Ombi
Ombi is a self-hosted web application that lets your shared Plex or Emby users request movies, TV shows, and music by themselves through an easy interface. It syncs users from your media server, shows whether requested content is already available, and forwards approved requests automatically to tools like Sonarr, Radarr, and CouchPotato. Customizable notifications, request approval workflows, and mobile apps make it ideal for administrators sharing a media library with family or friends.
