Bazarr

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Bazarr is the subtitle automation companion to Sonarr + Radarr — connects to your *Arr instances, monitors your library, automatically downloads subtitles in your chosen languages from OpenSubtitles, Addic7ed, Subscene, and custom providers.

The "set it and forget it" subtitle solution for self-hosted media servers. No more manual subtitle hunting after every download.

What it's for

  • Automatic subtitle downloads — multi-language support per show/movie
  • Subtitle quality scoring — pick best available from multiple providers
  • Sync correction — auto-sync subtitles to video where possible
  • Manual fallback — UI for browsing + picking from available subs
  • Multi-library — manage TV + movie subtitles separately

Who it's for

  • Multi-language households needing subs in multiple languages
  • Hearing-impaired viewers needing SDH/CC subtitles
  • Foreign-content enthusiasts watching subtitled originals
  • Language learners using subtitles in target language
  • Multi-user media servers with diverse language needs

Tips & operations

  • OpenSubtitles free tier limits — 20 downloads/day; VIP for unlimited
  • Sync correction is slow — disable for large catch-up runs, enable for new additions
  • *Same media paths as Arr apps** — Bazarr volumes must mirror Sonarr/Radarr exactly
  • *API keys for Arr apps** — get from each app's Settings → General
  • Backup /config — subtitle preferences + provider configs
  • Watch hash matching.en.srt vs .eng.srt naming matters for some media servers
