    Ombi is just an interface for your users to submit requests for new media (and report issues with existing media).

    Users can search for media, getting results from thetvdb/themoviedb and just click ‘request’. If they have the appropriate permissions, it’ll just get sent directly to sonarr/radarr to be grabbed as if you’d added them manually. If they don’t have ‘auto approve’ permissions, it’ll sent you a notification though whatever means you’ve configured saying ‘user x has requested y. This request requires manual approval’ before sending it off to be grabbed. It’ll even notify the user when something they’ve requested is ready to watch.

      Ok so it still has to download the request fully before it can be viewed? It’s not like Stremio+Torrentio at all where you can start watching while it’s being downloaded?

        No, Ombi is just a way for users to add stuff to radarr/sonarr just like you do, but in a controlled way.
