The Discover home page is a stack of sliders. Built-in rows come from TMDB, Trakt, AniList, and Simkl. Admins can reorder, hide, or add custom sliders, including public Trakt and MDBList lists and a named AniList list.
Requests stay manual. Pinning a list does not auto-request titles.
Provider, watchlist, and request shelves end with a See More card that opens their full browse page. It supports keyboard navigation and appears only after a nonempty shelf has loaded.
Poster cards show their title and year before you open them. Tab reveals a card's quick actions; Enter on the card opens its details. Tab again to reach watch status, rating, watchlist, and request controls when available. TV cards include More request options beside the Season 1 shortcut when instant requests are enabled. Choose all seasons, specific seasons, or individual episodes. Arrow keys move through these choices; Escape returns to the button, and Tab continues to the next card.
Use Sources at the top of Discover to browse every enabled provider, even if its rows are hidden from the home feed. It includes Trakt personal views, AniList catalog and account lists, all Simkl watch statuses, and forms to open a public Trakt or MDBList list without pinning it. Provider pages include shortcuts to their other views.
Use the source shortcuts to jump directly to a provider. Integration ready means the provider is configured for Foreseerr; Account connected shows whether your personal views are ready. A connection that needs attention links to Linked accounts, while public catalog and list browsing remain available. AniList's named-list picker includes Refresh lists. If refreshing fails, previously loaded lists remain usable while you retry.
Trakt, AniList, Simkl, and MDBList title pages show how many titles are loaded and provide Refresh titles and Load more titles controls. If loading fails, the page keeps its filters and any loaded titles available, with Try again to recover. Empty lists explain where their titles come from and suggest what to try next. When your preferences hide requested titles, the page explains this and links to Discover preferences so you can adjust visibility.
Discover preferences controls your personal filter defaults. Linked accounts connects your trackers and watch history. Both are available from the Discover header, navigation, and account menu.
Preferences are grouped into visibility, title filters, and rating filters. Save and Discard stay visible while you scroll, with an indicator for unsaved changes. Clear All Defaults stages an empty set of preferences; select Save Changes to apply it or Discard to keep your saved defaults.
Unmapped source titles can appear as source-only cards instead of being dropped. Repair them in Settings → Mapping.
Use the search field above to find movies, series, or people. Typing updates the results; Enter submits immediately and moves focus to the results. Clear search returns to the page you started from and focuses the field for another query.
The results page shows your query and the number of results loaded. Refresh results updates the current search, and Load more results works alongside automatic scrolling. Keyboard activation of Load more moves focus to the first new result when you keep focus on that action. If a read fails, loaded cards stay available with Try again. Empty results offer Edit search to focus and select the query.
These rows work with no extra API keys (Foreseerr already uses TMDB):
- Trending, popular movies/series, upcoming, genres, studios, and networks
- Custom sliders for a TMDB keyword, genre, studio, network, search query, or streaming-provider set
Requires a Trakt app in Settings → Integrations, then each user links their account under Linked Accounts (or Better Trakt via Jellyfin).
Built-in rows (hidden until the user is linked):
- Recommendations
- Watchlist
- History
Custom Trakt List sliders accept a public trakt.tv URL, username/slug,
or a list from search. Linked users can also pick their own or liked lists.
Full list pages support movie/TV/anime filters and hide-watched.
My lists includes lists you created and liked, with owners shown for liked lists. Search by name or owner; the search stays in the URL for Back and shared links. Refresh lists keeps your search and loaded cards available while it updates. A failed refresh offers Try again without discarding loaded lists.
See Integrations.
Requires AniList app credentials in Settings → Integrations.
These catalog rows work with the app credentials only (no per-user link):
- Trending
- This Season
- Popular
- Top 100
- Next Season
These rows need a linked AniList account (Linked Accounts):
- Watching
- Planning
- Completed
- Custom AniList List (pick one of that user’s lists by name)
Titles are mapped to TMDB through the mapping layer.
See Integrations.
Requires a Simkl Client ID in Settings → Integrations. Public catalog rows need only that Client ID. Personal library rows need a PIN-linked account.
Public rows (hidden until Simkl is configured):
- Trending (movies, TV, and anime from Simkl's trending JSON files)
Personal rows (hidden until the current user is linked):
- Plan to Watch
- Watching
- On Hold
- Completed
- Dropped
/discover/simkl is the provider hub with the same feeds and URL-backed
filters. Every Simkl-sourced title includes a link to its canonical Simkl
page.
Use Content type to choose movies, series, anime, or all three. The choice stays selected when switching between watch statuses. Trending also offers Time period choices for today, this week, and this month. These choices are stored in the page URL. An empty filtered list offers Reset filters. When Simkl cannot update a personal library, the page explains that it is showing saved titles and displays the last successful sync time when known.
Library sync and watched/rating actions run while a Simkl-backed surface is open, or when the user refreshes it. Cached rows can show as stale if Simkl is temporarily down. Custom Simkl lists, Best/Premieres catalog endpoints, scrobbling, and calendar ingestion are not supported.
See Integrations.
Requires a free MDBList API key in Settings → Integrations. The same key powers rating badges and list browse (they share the daily quota).
Open an MDBList list from Sources, or add a custom MDBList List slider as an administrator. Custom sliders support list search. Both accept:
https://mdblist.com/lists/{user}/{slug}{user}/{slug}- a numeric list id
Movie and show variants that share a slug are merged. Items without a TMDB id are dropped. Personalized MDBList recommendation lists and “My Lists” are not wired yet.
See Integrations.
Open Your watchlist in the sidebar, the mobile More menu, or the account menu. On a movie or series page, choose Watchlist to save a title for later; On Watchlist removes it. Requested and available titles remain visible in your watchlist.
An empty watchlist links to Discover and explains how to save titles. Use Refresh watchlist after changes, or Load more titles to load another page without relying on scrolling. For a Plex account, titles come from its Plex Watchlist. Trakt, AniList, Simkl, and MDBList feeds are available through Browse list sources.
Users with Discover edit permission can:
- Open Discover and choose Customize Discover in the header.
- Reorder or enable/disable built-in sliders.
- Create a custom slider (TMDB, Trakt list, AniList list, or MDBList list).
- Save. Custom sliders start disabled until you enable them.
