I’d like to create/add a middleware system between seerr and sonarr to add episodes dynamically instead of adding what user requests feom seerr. Issue is, i got close friends just filling the backlog with shows but not watching so they just sit there. And they just request all seasons at once. (I know i could ask them to stop but I want to create a seamless wxperience for them) I’ve come to understand Maintainarr could achieve this. Can someone point me to guides doing exactly this? And is Maintainarr the community standart for an approach such as this or is there a better approach? I use Jellyfin not Plex edit: so basically a ddynamic buffer for requested seasons. for example it would have the next 5 episodes based on your current episode, ready on the server and download more as you progress episodes. Just found a service called Episeer. would that work?

I’ve heard you can create this system, that for example always has the next 5 episodes on the server ready to go, based on the episode you’re currently at.
Will add that since they migrated overseerr into jellyseerr and renamed it seerr that it is also likely native functionality in seerr
I guess you may be able to do that, the logic would get pretty complex if you wanted to do it properly though. And you still need a way for them to request the media in the first place, so you would still need to either train everyone or implement quotas and/or manual approval in Seerr. In my opinion it's much easier to just implement quotas to encourage people to only request seasons as they're going to watch them. I also have some maintainerr rules to clean up seasons that nobody has watched within the last year.
What do you mean "dynamically"? Maintainarr can't control how episodes are added to your server. It can just decide what to do with them once they're there. You should just implement quotas in Seerr, that increases the value of a single request and discourages people just adding everything they might maybe think about watching some day.
Seems OP wants to control users but doesn't want to do that manually
I use episeer for this. I created a profile in episeer that gets the first 3 episodes, then when someone gets through half of an episode it gets the next episode so I always have the next 3 episodes. I currently don't delete anything but you can then remove once watched if needed looking at the settings. When request with jellyseer it needs the tag for the profile you created in episeer, then episeer manages the rest
Jellyseerr does this out of the box. If they request something, it then has to be verified by an admin
