How this works

Your request, step by step

Magent is a friendly status checker. It looks at a few helper apps, then shows you where your request is and what you can safely do next.

Jellyseerr

The request box

This is where you ask for a movie or show. It keeps the request and whether it is approved.

Sonarr / Radarr

The library manager

These add the request to the library list and decide what quality to look for.

Prowlarr

The search helper

This checks your search sources and reports back what it finds.

qBittorrent

The downloader

This downloads the file. Magent can tell if it is downloading, paused, or finished.

Jellyfin

The place you watch

When the file is ready, Jellyfin shows it in your library so you can watch it.

The pipeline in plain English

  1. You request a title in Jellyseerr.
  2. Sonarr/Radarr adds it to the library list.
  3. Prowlarr looks for sources and sends results back.
  4. qBittorrent downloads the match.
  5. Sonarr/Radarr imports it into your library.
  6. Jellyfin shows it when it is ready to watch.

Steps and fixes (simple and visual)

1

Request sent

Jellyseerr holds your request and approval.

Fixes you can try
  • Add to library queue (if it was approved but never added)
2

Added to the library list

Sonarr/Radarr decide what quality to get.

Fixes you can try
  • Search for releases (see options)
  • Search and auto-download (let it pick for you)
3

Searching for sources

Prowlarr checks your torrent providers.

Fixes you can try
  • Search for releases (show a list to choose)
4

Downloading the file

qBittorrent downloads the selected match.

Fixes you can try
  • Resume download (only if it already exists there)
5

Ready to watch

Jellyfin shows it in your library.

What to do next
  • Open in Jellyfin (watch it)

Why Magent sometimes says "waiting"

If the search helper cannot find a match yet, Magent will say there is nothing to grab. That does not mean it is broken. It usually means the release is not available yet.
