What multi server media hosts need from media request managers

Multi server media hosts run more than one media server, often with separate instances of Radarr and Sonarr for different quality levels or libraries. They need a way for people to request titles across those servers without sending messages manually. A useful request manager can collect requests, show what is happening with a title, and reduce repeated questions. Hosts with several servers also need to think about how each server is reached, whether a tool needs to connect back to their servers, and how permissions are handled per server. Some hosts may prefer a website where people search and request titles, while others may prefer chat based requests. The right choice depends on how requests are made, who can request content, and how much control the owner wants over multiple server instances. Hosts should check how each tool handles their existing media workflow and what information it needs to work.

Questions to ask before you choose

Before choosing a media request manager for multiple servers, consider how people will submit requests and how much control is needed across each server. Check whether the tool matches the current server setup, how it handles permissions per server, and whether it shows request progress. Ask whether the tool uses a website, chat service, or mobile app for requests. Check what notifications or connected services are supported. For hosts running separate 4K and standard servers, check whether the tool can manage them separately. Also check the cost structure, request limits, and whether the way the tool handles access matches the way the servers are shared. Check what information each tool needs to connect to your servers and whether it needs to receive any passwords or keys.
