Bazarr Setup Guide: Automatic Subtitles for Your Seedbox

What Is Bazarr? #

Bazarr is a companion app to Sonarr and Radarr that automatically downloads subtitles for your movies and TV shows. It monitors your media library and fetches matching subtitles from multiple sources including OpenSubtitles, Subscene, and Addic7ed.

Installing Bazarr #

1. Dashboard → Apps → Find Bazarr → Install
2. Click Open once installed (default port: 6767)

Configuration #

Step 1: Connect to Sonarr #

1. Settings → Sonarr → Enter: Host: localhost, Port: 8989, API Key (from Sonarr → Settings → General)
2. Test → Save

Step 2: Connect to Radarr #

1. Settings → Radarr → Enter: Host: localhost, Port: 7878, API Key
2. Test → Save

Step 3: Add Subtitle Providers #

1. Settings → Providers → Add: OpenSubtitles.com (free account needed), Subscene, Addic7ed
2. Set your preferred languages (e.g., English, Spanish, French)

Step 4: Set Languages #

1. Settings → Languages → Add your preferred subtitle languages in priority order
2. Enable “Hearing Impaired” subtitles if desired

How It Works #

Bazarr continuously monitors your Sonarr/Radarr media. When a new episode or movie appears, it automatically searches subtitle providers and downloads the best matching subtitle file. If no match is found initially, it retries periodically.
