Is Jellyfin required for Anchorr to function?

[dawson7allan]

I have Plex and Jellyseer, so I configured Anchor with Jellyseer and Discord. I am able to see the slash commands, but when I try to request something, it does not work. So my guess is, Jellyfin is most probably required. If that is not the case, could you please guide me on how to get this to work?

I cloned your repo and when I ran it locally with the same configuration as my docker compose, it works, so that means the issue is not Jellyfin, it is something else. Do you have any ideas or things you'd like me to try?

Hey! Should be easy to update it and only use the Jellyseerr connection, cause I was also preparing for Plex integration and Seerr when they finish migration. I will give it a look and let you know when I will push the update!

Appreciate it!, thank you @nairdahh.
