@sct is this project still actively maintained?

Hi @sct @TheCatLady @danshilm @OwsleyJr
Is this something you guys need to review for it to progress?

[frankjstrike]

Definitely looking forward for this PR to go to main. This is a very annoying issue for my users

[valentinlamine]

it seems like the main maintainers are focused on the seerr repo that merge overseerr & jellyseerr so i don't think they will merge any pr on this git

This is a feature already existing in Jellyseerr, which will also be on Seerr.

[Jaakurin]

If switching to Jellyseerr isn't a viable option for people to resolve this issue, a decent workaround is to require manual approval of TV series and edit the requests to take out the specials before approving them.

Since this repo is no longer actively maintained, the only other real option looks to be waiting for the release of Seerr.
