SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Adding new movies and TV shows to a media library like Plex, Sonarr, or Radarr often requires multiple steps: searching, verifying, and importing assets. This skill streamlines that workflow by handling the end-to-end process from a single command.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-command request flow: Parses a user-provided title, searches local and configured sources, confirms the best match, and adds it to the library.
  • API-key driven integration: Uses configured Plex/Sonarr/Radarr APIs to perform lookups and registrations with minimal manual input.
  • Quality/format hints: Honors user hints (e.g., "4k" or "uhd") to select appropriate quality profiles during import.
  • Use Case: A user requests "Interstellar" and the system automatically finds the right movie, confirms it, and adds it to the Plex library with links to the appropriate media folders.

Quick Start

Run the request command with a movie or TV title to search, confirm, and add it to your media library.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add movies to Plex automatically using a single command?▼

You can add movies to Plex automatically by providing a title to the request command, which queries configured APIs to find, confirm, and import the item with minimal manual input.

What do I need to configure before automating media library requests?▼

You need configured API keys for your Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr instances. The automation uses these API keys to validate input, perform lookups, and register new library entries.

What is the best way to search and confirm TV shows before importing them to my media server?▼

The request skill streamlines this by parsing a user-provided title, searching compatible APIs, confirming the best match, and creating or updating the library entry end-to-end.

Does the request automation support both movies and TV shows across different media tools?▼

Yes, the request automation works across Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr. It validates your input and queries the compatible APIs to add or update both movies and TV shows accordingly.
