Subtitles for everything in your library.Found, timed and translated, automatically.

What it does

If you have never automated subtitles before, this is the whole job. Bazarr+ does each of these on a schedule, for everything in your library, and tells you when it could not.

What this fork adds

Bazarr+ is a hard fork of Bazarr by morpheus65535, and it keeps everything that already worked. This is what it puts on top. If you are new here, you can skip this table entirely.

Install

Bazarr+ is a drop-in replacement for the upstream container. If you already run Bazarr, point it at your existing /config and everything carries over. Back that directory up first.

services:
  bazarr:
    image: ghcr.io/lavx/bazarr:latest
    container_name: bazarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 6767:6767
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /path/to/movies:/movies
      - /path/to/tv:/tv

That is enough to start. Two optional companions are worth knowing about: FlareSolverr, which lets the OpenSubtitles.org plugin get past Cloudflare challenges, and the AI translator sidecar, if you want translation. Both are covered in the getting started guide, which also walks through your first login.

There is also a one-line installer that writes the compose file for you and asks where your media lives. It runs a script from this site, so read it first if that matters to you, and it does for a lot of people: the exact file it fetches is here.

Roadmap

Where Bazarr+ is going, nearest first. There are no dates here, because a self-hosted project ships when the work is right rather than when a quarter ends. Plans shift; the direction has not.

1. Shipped

   The v2 line so far

   v2.6.2 “Clockwork” keeps subtitle history and sync outputs with the right media, saves useful partial OpenRouter translations with an incomplete status, lists uploads before background sync finishes, and adds explicit OpenRouter routing choices. Searches continue past unusable archives from catalog providers. The v2.6 line also brought whole-season subtitle downloads, stricter sync validation, and adoption of upstream Bazarr databases. Before it, v2.5 “Murmuration” brought many Sonarr and Radarr instances managed as one, per-instance subtitle settings and archive uploads.

   Every release, with full notes

2. Next

   Coming on the v2 line
   • Discover. Search and pull subtitles for any title, whether or not it is in your library.
   • A rebuilt translator. Translation moves in-process, with a catalog of models, configuration per engine, and a choice of engine per language profile, instead of a separate sidecar container.
   • Search inside your subtitles. Find the episode from a line of dialogue you half remember, across everything you have.
   • Run without Sonarr and Radarr. A standalone mode, packaged for the desktop, for people who have a folder of films rather than a media stack.

3. v3.0.0

   Several v2 releases away

   Bazarr+ instances sharing subtitles directly with each other, peer to peer, with no central server in the middle and nothing shared that you did not choose to share. It is the largest thing on this list by a distance, which is why it carries the major version and why a good deal of the v2 line comes first.
