Ombi can be used as a download client for both Movies and TV Shows.

Configuring Ombi

Connecting Requestrr to Ombi

#1 Select your Ombi version (most people use version 3 as version 4 is not out yet)

To find your version go in Ombi->Settings->System

ombiversion

#2 Open Ombi in your browser, then login and go to Settings and then Ombi, then copy the API key

copyombikey

#3 Then in Requestrr, paste the api key in the api key field.

pasteapikey

#4 Enter the host or IP address for Ombi (without the http://)

ombihostname

#5 Enter the base URL configured in Ombi, this is found in Settings->Ombi (in Ombi)

ombibaseurl

Make sure that the base url is exactly the same in Requestrr as it is in Ombi.

rebaseurl

#6 Now click on the Test Settings button, it should say that everything is good

testsettings

If not, then the error message will tell you what to do.

#7 Click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to save the work we've done so far

savechanges

That's it, the bot should now be correctly connected to Ombi!

Configuring Permissions

Default Api User

Requestrr supports per user permission and roles coming from Ombi, this means that you can link all of your discord users to Ombi users in order to manage your quotas/roles/etc in Ombi, and the bot will respect those settings.

Whenever a request is made through the bot and the bot is unable to find a "linked" user, it will then use permissions from the Default Api User configured in Requestrr's web portal.

defaultapiuser

If you don't manually specify a default api user, then the bot will auto-approve all requests.

How to link a discord user to an Ombi user

#1 Go in Discord enable developer mode:

developermode

#2 Find the discord that you wish to link to Ombi, right click his name in discord and click Copy ID:

copyid

#3 Now go in Ombi, create a new user, then go into that user's Notification Preferences and paste the ID that you got from discord in the discord field:

ombidiscordid

#4 Save the user

That's it, now whenever that discord user makes a request through the bot, the permissions/quotas you set for the Ombi user will be applied.
