Ideas for Ombi as submitted to our Feature Upvote board. Ideas are ordered by 'new' and the 50 top matches are included. pr_vq2kexi2h7nic0d 2025-05-18T12:19:03Z sug_lugfabjocxooq2a 2021-09-26T12:24:54Z 2023-03-03T12:51:46Z The quality of the content available in the discovery page is pretty low overall, and contains a fair amount of NSFW/not safe for parents content. I'd like to give my parents access to Ombi so they can request media in a way I can easily manage, but the content on the discovery page makes it an uncomfortable proposition to say the least. In lieu of a complex filtering/administration system for the discovery page, I'd like the option to disable the discovery page (or at least, the content suggestions on it) for all users - something relatively quick to develop & enough to let me share my server with others! sug_cxq9116tpnwbliz 2021-09-25T22:15:06Z 2023-03-03T12:51:29Z Hide shows that have an aired date > today. The attached screen shot was taken on 9/25/2021. Shows 7-10 shouldn't be displayed as those air dates could change or the shows in some cases could never be aired. sug_rd97te1wp1zonjr 2021-09-25T19:59:54Z 2023-03-03T12:51:26Z It would be nice if there was a report that would show you episodes you are missing. It should have some basic criteria like only work for shows that i have at least one full season of, or only shows that have at least X episodes for. This way the report wouldn't be cluttered if you intentionally only have a few episodes of a specific show. Eventually it would be good if there was a flag to include or exclude Season 0. sug_hsgvzjxy07nhdqu 2021-09-24T21:15:45Z 2023-03-03T12:50:58Z Thought it might be nice to be able to hide or not allow someone to request something that is already on another streaming service. sug_ismo6g4gzk6rm6b 2021-09-24T07:01:07Z 2023-03-03T12:50:48Z In the panel that shows status/budget/network/genres etc etc, include the Original Language. This information is provided by TMDB. Identifying the Original Language is the single most common reason for me to "link out" to TMDB. See mockup image attached. Edit: This would make more sense in the panel segment below the one used in the mockups - along with the Revenue/Budget/Runtime information. sug_gs4w8ackoqlsg14 2021-09-21T22:44:12Z 2023-03-03T12:50:21Z Add a search feature to sort and possibly filter by ratings such as IMBD, TVDB or Rotten Tomatoes ratings, to allow users to easily search for and identify top rated Movies and TV shows to add. sug_u21wbivgjgokeju 2021-09-20T21:50:18Z 2023-03-03T12:50:09Z When you click on a movie/show to see the description, you should be able to watch the trailer. sug_lnpq71xafoi0don 2021-09-18T11:41:07Z 2023-03-03T12:49:43Z So here is a hypothetical. I have 3 plex libraries I have imported into Ombi. Plex User A only has access too 2 of those libraries through Plex but as of right now in Ombi they can still see the stuff in the library they don't have access to as being available. It would prob be difficult to have Plex automatically grab this information and limit what users can see as available in Ombi so since Ombi already knows what is in each library adding the ability to toggle which libraries each user could see on a per user basis would be really nice. sug_pou071ehwns81bb 2021-09-17T20:11:51Z 2023-03-03T12:49:38Z sug_zbjm0xsodv7gr3m 2021-09-15T10:44:48Z 2023-03-03T12:48:52Z Add the possibility for a user to self customize the avatar icon into her/his profile uploading it sug_rgiyj9v8yj4sxai 2021-09-11T12:48:25Z 2023-03-03T12:47:18Z Being an admin, I use the app to receive request notifications. It would be awesome if when you click on a request notification, if it brought you directly to that request with the option to approve/deny. Or at least give a notification setting to allow this feature. Right now I'm using a custom slackbot that sends my notifications with an approve deny button, and I was hoping this app could replace it. sug_lczcokwp97tu6ss 2021-09-11T05:48:53Z 2023-03-03T12:47:16Z Options to filter out languages, ratings, genres, etc. would DEFINITELY come in handy. As it is, I am inundated with a slew of Spanish TV shows and movies...with no way to simply get rid of them ALL. It would be nice if I could simply change a setting that only showed me English TV/Movies. Perhaps I am only interested in English, 5+/10 rated movies or TV shows. Maybe even English, 5+/10, Horror movies or TV shows... What if I NEVER want to see ANY cartoon suggestions (i.e. Childrens/Animation/Rated G)? I would like WAY more control over what is being suggested to me. I feel a combination of filters would be ideal. sug_5ilpbwmryjfmwal 2021-09-10T17:16:22Z 2023-03-03T12:47:07Z Restrict the Language for requests. Only wish for English content on server. sug_npac2fs2bijylh4 2021-09-09T05:10:27Z 2023-03-03T12:46:48Z possibility to select multiple media on discover page or search results. perhaps a selectable check box to add media at same time? I often find myself searching for a movie or tv show and results come back with same name and different years and i want both or more. sug_5oyhmybyhol300n 2021-09-07T20:17:19Z 2023-03-03T12:46:32Z I would like for all media items requested/added via Ombi to be tagged as such in Sonarr/Radarr, so I can easily find which items were added by others. sug_enteehxptd2qprd 2021-09-07T09:12:46Z 2023-03-03T12:46:29Z It would be nice to be able to include adult movies in search, but also be able to hide select users from seeing the adult movie suggestions sug_47nh1pscsf4hydl 2021-09-06T08:10:08Z 2023-03-03T12:46:21Z have the capability to send a mass message to everyone on ombi at one time sug_p0vt4dujioms0gt 2021-09-05T06:05:01Z 2023-03-03T12:46:17Z It would be useful to have more control over the discover tab. Some ideas: - Ability to choose source for popular/trending (Ombi? IMDB? Trakt? Rotten Tomatoes?) - More possible rows (recently available, recently requested, new releases, genre/actor/seasonal, award winners, collections/tags) - Ability to filter out content based on additional criteria (content rating, country, language, ratings) - Ability to hide select content sug_2szsulrlilbaycz 2021-09-05T00:35:14Z 2023-03-03T12:46:17Z On the user page, I'd like to be able to see the count of requests made. sug_kmnfewttxpzw9uy 2021-09-04T21:32:18Z 2023-03-03T12:46:17Z I.e.: I'm looking for the movie 'a beautiful day 2017'. Sorry, nothing matches your search! 'a beautiful day' brings up lot of movies. On the advanced search I can add 2017, but it brings again lots of stuff not wanted. Why can't I search for 'a beautiful day' 2017. and the first movie at top is a movie called 'a beautiful day' 2017. sug_wyp6nhflqpiljy8 2021-09-02T21:54:53Z 2023-03-03T12:45:53Z It would be nice in the OMBI app to list also the digital release dates not just theater. sug_cjipwazqlgy8kde 2021-09-02T19:37:31Z 2023-03-03T12:45:51Z A page we can send to people and they can search and add content without having to create an account. Maybe with a simple passcode sug_f7groaeibgpgbv4 2021-09-01T17:05:52Z 2023-03-03T12:45:45Z I'm never going to download certain genres. It would be nice to be able to suppress from the suggestions. sug_kvebfccswjf0yww 2021-08-30T11:47:15Z 2023-03-03T12:45:14Z Allow the user (admin only?) requesting a collection to select a Radarr overrides quality profile same as when requesting each movie individually sug_ncjv7tyfoylcbki 2021-08-29T15:42:56Z 2023-03-03T12:44:44Z Very often I am spending a lot of time to search movies which I don't have already and it is hard to keep them separeted when your eyes trying to focus after 100 of movies. sug_jnnrnrbf6fjbqn5 2021-08-21T08:28:55Z 2023-03-03T12:43:15Z Most instances run behind a reverse proxy. This proxy usually has the ability to authenticate users in almost any way. (LDAP, SSO, 2FA). Then the proxy can send the username to Ombi in an HTTP header and doesn't care about the authentication process. One project that has implemented this is calibre-web by janeczku. There you enable this feature with a checkbox and then define the header name where Ombi expects the username. sug_cto8ivcsysjmtrl 2021-08-20T00:48:13Z 2023-03-03T12:43:02Z Add Guilded as an option to the Notification Preferences list. It uses a webhook similar to Discord. sug_nsysdcuc69fqi3l 2021-08-16T23:22:02Z 2023-03-03T12:42:23Z The new search platform is great but when browsing I hardly get any choices. A search by providers e.g. What is available/trending/popular in Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu Etc. sug_sfdjgysb5xvueaz 2021-08-16T17:08:58Z 2023-03-03T12:42:19Z Would like to be able to disable requests for some users or in general when storage reaches a configurable percentage. * Warning level disable requests for some users when reaching desired percentage. * Critical level disable requests for all users when reaching desired percentage. sug_ziclwdytlc4gm0g 2021-08-16T17:02:32Z 2023-03-03T12:42:19Z Configurable actions based on issue categories. e.g. I have a category called "Video Quality", I would like to be able to configure an action to automatically delete the movie, blacklist the source, then search/download a different source. The ability to require approval for certain users would also be awesome! sug_0wvyucrqq5g8ibh 2021-08-15T12:56:19Z 2023-03-03T12:42:11Z On the discover page, the Popular, Trending or Upcoming section, a user on a desktop device must use the arrows to display 4 items at the time + on a mobile device only 1 movie at the time. This is really painful if a user is simply looking for upcoming movies > looking the details > going back to the discover page > spam the navigation arrow to continue his search. Another suggestion proposed to remember the navigation position of those carousels, but this one has been rejected due to technical complexity. Would it be possible instead to make the Popular, Trending and Upcoming section titles clickable so a user can display all, for example Upcoming movies/series, in a grid view like the search results? Having a grid of 30/60 movies to scroll is less painful than spamming carousel arrows. See attached a quick mockup of the idea by disabling the carousel and adding flex-wrap. Of course, the page hierarchy has to be considered as the search url is actually /discover/SEARCH_STRING sug_1tnwwabohvxs3dk 2021-08-13T23:35:40Z 2023-03-03T12:42:07Z Add IMDB links to main table instead of having to view each listing individually sug_fiirjqow78ducyz 2021-08-13T21:36:51Z 2023-03-03T12:42:07Z Every time to scroll through the pages looking for new content, it looses track of where you were. This occurs when you click on a title or series that might interest you.....then you back up to go back to searching......and you start at the beginning of suggested titles / movies again. sug_czlqwxssec4rihh 2021-08-10T19:13:53Z 2023-03-03T12:41:41Z I have a Radarr default 1080p profile and a default root folder of Host/Movies. I created another profile for 4K and another root folder of Host/4K Movies. As an admin I am able to request a movie and select both the 4K profile and the 4K root folder. I'm not confident that all my users could manage to keep both of those straight. Suggestion: Ombi Admin function to map a root folder to a quality profile and select what profiles are visible to the user. Example: User requests a movie and is met with a stripped down quality pop up showing "Quality Profile" and values of 1080p or 4K. Based on their selection the request would be sent to Radarr with the appropriate quality and root folder combination. sug_wxkzganm8cxxsy9 2021-08-10T16:48:18Z 2023-03-03T12:41:41Z It would be nice to be able to set filters similar to Petio where you can create filters to control requests. For example I have multiple folders in Sonarr/Radarr based on Comedy, Anime, Cartoons, etc. When users send requests for a Cartoon with Ombi it gets mixed in with my TV shows and I have to manually move it to the Cartoon Library in Plex. With filters based on Genre or Studio (Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, etc ) It will send the request to the proper path in Radarr/Sonarr and thus be put in proper library in Plex. sug_gdfyczlhxpklgqe 2021-08-09T17:16:04Z 2023-03-03T12:41:26Z There should be a notification setting to send admins a notification when an update for Ombi is available. sug_kkbqbvgt4p0qfcu 2021-08-08T04:22:36Z 2023-03-03T12:41:19Z Could we add the option to hide already available media in advanced search sug_kejt6qj0qa6jirr 2021-07-25T12:57:15Z 2023-03-03T12:38:50Z For Admins, allow changing of the Root Folder for each request entry when requested/approved. This will ensure the end results land in the correct folder location - rather than having to wait for it to find and complete before changing it manually (could be weeks for some items, and will likely forget). sug_gxwg5z9pj7f29kh 2021-07-25T12:53:47Z 2023-03-03T12:38:50Z The Request List does not require a "Details " Button for each entry - this can be managed va a link on the Title instead. Unless there is future use for the 'Details' button, its just wasting width space (noticeable on Mobile webpage) sug_hflgqajhl8tfpei 2021-07-25T10:53:04Z 2023-03-03T12:38:48Z Allow saving of movies based on Movie Genre's (define default genre tags for each Root Folder) Each Root Folder should have tag identifiers that sort the Requested (and completed) Movies into. Similar to the way User folder defaults are done, except use Tags instead of Users to determine which Root folder eg Video has 'Documentary' genre = Radarr Root Folder (with Documentary tag) saves to "d:\Videos\Documentaries" (from Radarr), Video has 'Animation' genre = Radarr Root Folder (with 'Animation' tag) saves to "r:\Video\Animation\" (from Radarr) TV shows already have locations set once the show is added to the middle-ware, however NEW shows can also source the Root Folders (from Sonarr/Sick*,etc.) in the same way as above. Global level Tagging (on the Radarr Root Folder import page) or User level Tagging (on the User Page) can be done. The Order in which the tags are defined should determine the priority for sorting and removed from other Root Folder tag options to void conflicts. sug_iw9ynzjshoso3mh 2021-07-24T19:49:45Z 2023-03-03T12:38:46Z not interested in downloading movies or tv shows that are available over streaming applications [e.g. Netflix, Disney+, etc]; configure the settings to movies/tv shows do not show up if there are also available from the streaming service sug_c6ornol9tdomztl 2021-07-23T15:04:36Z 2023-03-03T12:38:41Z Currently, it's not possible to exclude movies/tv shows from foreign languages that have English titles on TMDb. These items do not seem to use a keyword that can be used for exclusion. The example in the image I've attached shows what looks to be a Portuguese soap opera/telenovela (not tagged as such). Somehow I would like to be able to exclude this, and other foreign language titles, from my suggestions. Perhaps a match on "Original Language" to the language in the user's profile. This wouldn't cause issues in terms of being able to search directly for the title and make a request that way, but would limit it from being displayed on the Discover page. sug_kiolmhbmmxdpdqe 2021-07-21T21:00:54Z 2023-03-03T12:38:21Z It would be nice to have a configuration settings backup and restore function in case of corruption, application migration, etc sug_cadvdwxtz9jq7ym 2021-07-17T04:12:52Z 2023-03-03T12:37:57Z When someone requests a movie that is a sequel and the previous movie is not downloaded Ombi should suggest that the user download the previous movies. If the previous movies are available Ombi should suggest that the user should watch the previous movies and they are currently available. sug_xdvmxrgobrqqjxu 2021-07-13T12:32:30Z 2023-03-03T12:37:36Z Similar to the "Default Root Folders (Anime)" but with other genres listed in the Ombi UI. I imagine this could be implemented in a couple of different ways: 1) Add other options for major genres, like what has been done for Anime 2) Add the option for us to create our own "rulesets". E.g. If genre contains "Animation" then set root folder to /root/folder/Animation At the moment, for any move/TV genre that isn't for my main "root folder", I have to go in to each request manually, and override the settings Personally, I don't separate genres like "action", or "Adventure", etc. but have separate folders for Documentaries, Animation, Stand up Comedy, as an example sug_5q1rsqdstxevan1 2021-07-07T02:43:11Z 2023-03-03T12:36:31Z Really hard to find a plex requestor app that works with the Chromecast with remote. sug_kd8ap7gzxyspvwt 2021-06-24T22:27:34Z 2023-03-03T12:34:18Z The individual user should be able to manage what notifications they receive no matter what role they posses. All of the users in an instance will probably not have the same need or desire for the notification that the admin sets up. Some will enjoy receiving every little notification along the process and some will hate the spam. Why not let the users control what they receive like you can in almost every mobile app or basically any email notification service out there. sug_gtrccltrtb6rp0x 2021-06-16T01:01:50Z 2023-03-03T12:32:44Z Similar to another request about discovery by streaming service, I see when viewing an individual show it says what TV network the show is available on, such as CBS, Bravo, MTV, Nick, etc. Would like to have this available via search or the Discover page, so that I could see a grouping of shows that are available on the same network, or popular shows on that network. A bonus would also be to have the Network as a link on the individual TV show's page so I could "browse" that network's page and see all the shows on that network. The Movie Database site has this feature, so I would hope it could be fairly easy to achieve. See https://www.themoviedb.org/network/16?language=en-US for an example for the CBS network. sug_3nff4glkvtoahzk 2021-05-06T13:45:49Z 2023-03-03T12:26:51Z Currently, to ask a user to start using the Ombi app on their phone, they have to do so many steps that many users don't want to be bothered. The plex login prompt doesn't appear in the new IOS app so they can't use that to login initially. Although they have the ability to point their phone at a QR code, this requires them to log onto Ombi on another machine and do many steps to be able to complete this. Again, too much work for many users. The simplest and fastest way to get my users using Ombi is to: - email them from within Ombi v4 with the following instructions: - 1. Download it from the <linked>Play Store or <linked>App Store - 2. Copy this code: <blah> - 3. Start up the Ombi app - 4. Paste the code into the app to complete the registration. The code would be received by the Ombi server, matched against the user, and allow completion of the app login details. The code is then invalidated to prevent re-use. sug_3akneck4t86jyde 2021-05-06T00:14:26Z 2023-03-03T12:26:49Z Would like to exclude Netflix Originals and Disney+ content from the discover lists so that those things don't get requested (since most of my users can just watch it there) TMDB (and the integrated info pages inside of ombi) has info on studio and/or streaming platform, so it seems relatively feasible to tap into that in a similar fashion to the existing tag-based filtering.
