Movies & TV

Request content (Seerr)

Open request.pagearr.com in a browser.

Sign in with your Jellyfin username and password (see Gaining access).
Browse or search, then submit requests for movies or shows you want added.

Please only request titles you actually intend to watch. Requests use storage, bandwidth, and time to acquire and process.

Movies — how long until it appears

Plan for up to 24 hours between your request and the movie being available in the library. In many cases it will show up within about an hour, but the safe expectation is one day.

Live TV and VOD

Live TV and VOD movies (watching “off the guide” instead of from the on-demand library) are optional extras.

Only one person at a time can use live TV or VOD — a single shared slot for that whole category (not one per feature).
The setup is finicky, may be down without warning, and is meant only for convenience — not as reliable as the main library.
If you already know what you want to watch, request it through Seerr when possible; that uses the normal library and avoids competing for the single live / VOD slot.

Watch with Jellyfin

Stream at watch.pagearr.com (recommended in a browser, or use an app below).

Install a Jellyfin client

Install the official app for your device. All options are listed on the Jellyfin site: jellyfin.org/downloads — pick Android, iOS, Android TV, Apple TV (via third-party clients listed there if you use tvOS), Roku, WebOS, Xbox, Kodi, or desktop as needed.
Open the app and add a server:
- Server address: https://watch.pagearr.com
Sign in with your Jellyfin credentials (see Gaining access).

Access on a phone or tablet

Install ShelfPlayer from the App Store (iOS) or Audiobookshelf from Google Play (Android)
Open the app and add a server:
- Server URL: https://books.pagearr.com
Sign in with your Audiobookshelf account (see Gaining access).

Request new books

Create a Goodreads bookshelf and add the books you want.
Email reidkersey@gmail.com and ask to have that bookshelf added to the watch list. Include a link to the shelf or enough detail to identify it.
What happens next: Books on the watch list are fetched every 12 hours; new items should appear on the server within 24 hours in most cases.
If a book still isn’t available after ~24 hours, email Reid so it can be added manually.
Formats: When both exist, items are added as ebook and audiobook.

Add a Kindle

On Amazon, find your Send to Kindle email: amazon.com/myk → Devices → select your Kindle → note the @kindle.com address.
In a browser, open books.pagearr.com, sign in, then open your user / account settings and add an e-reader device with that @kindle.com address.
In Amazon Content & Devices → Preferences → Personal Document Settings, approve any send-from addresses Amazon asks for if you email files to the Kindle.

Get books onto your Kindle

From Audiobookshelf: For eligible ebooks in your library, use the in-app or web action to download or send to device if your admin has enabled Kindle delivery for your account.
Manual options: Download the ebook file (e.g. EPUB/PDF where available), then use Amazon’s Send to Kindle (website, desktop app, or email to your @kindle.com address).

If a format does not open on Kindle, ask reidkersey@gmail.com for help.
