What does it do?

You can maintain lists on IMDB for things like upcoming movies or recommendations from your friends... its a way for you to keep a reminder of what you might want to watch

If you provide your list ID - and it is a public list:

  1. Your list will get synced using llst-sync to the Jellyfin Requests system (Jellyseer )
  2. Your list will be pulled every day for changes
  3. Each movie onyour list will be checked in Notflix
    1. If it is available, it does nothing extra
    2. if it is not available in Notflix but can be downloaded, it will be downloaded and added automcatically
    3. if it is not available to download, it will be searched for each day until it is..

This is a process for users to request and add content that they want
