# What is Bazarr?
|
||
|
||
From their [website](https://www.bazarr.media/):
|
||
|
||
> Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr that manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements.
|
||
|
||
In YAMS, Bazarr is your subtitle superstar! 🌟 It's going to download subtitles in any language you choose, sort them, and put them right where Emby/Jellyfin/Plex can find them. No more hunting for subtitles manually!
|
||
|
||
## Initial Configuration
|
||
|
||
In your browser, go to [http://{your-ip-address}:6767/]() and you'll see Bazarr's settings page.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
The default settings here are fine - no need to change anything yet!
|
||
|
||
### Languages
|
||
|
||
On the left side menu, click on "Languages". This is where the fun begins! 🎬
|
||
|
||
In the "Languages Filter" box, pick all the languages you want subtitles for. For this tutorial, I'm going with:
|
||
- `English` (because why not?)
|
||
- `Spanish` (¿por qué no?)
|
||
- `Latin American Spanish` (different flavor, same great taste!)
|
||
|
||
After choosing your languages, click on "Add New Profile"
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-2.png)
|
||
|
||
In the "Edit Languages Profile" modal:
|
||
1. Give your profile a name (anything you want!)
|
||
2. Click on "Add Language"
|
||
3. **Important:** Click "Add Language" once for EACH language you picked earlier!
|
||
|
||
Since I picked 3 languages earlier, I need to click "Add Language" three times. Math! 🧮
|
||
|
||
When you're done, click "Save" at the bottom.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Back on the "Languages" page, set your new profile as the default for both Series and Movies.
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-4.png)
|
||
|
||
You should end up with something like this:

|
||
|
||
Happy with how it looks? Hit "Save" at the top of the page!
|

|
||
|
||
### Providers
|
||
|
||
Time to tell Bazarr where to find those subtitles! Click on "Providers" in the left menu, then click that big ➕ sign.
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-7.png)
|
||
|
||
You'll see a HUGE list of providers - and they even include descriptions! How thoughtful! 📚
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-8.png)
|
||
|
||
For this tutorial, we'll just add [OpenSubtitles.org](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/subs), but feel free to add more later! The more providers you have, the better chance of finding perfect subtitles.
|
||
|
||
Some providers (including OpenSubtitles.org) need a username and password. If you don't have an account yet, go ahead and create one - I'll wait! ⏳
|
||
|
||
Got your login info? Great! Enter it and click "Save"
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-9.png)
|
||
|
||
Now you'll see OpenSubtitles.org in your providers list! Click "Save" at the top of the page if you're happy with the changes.
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Subtitles
|
||
|
||
Click on "Subtitles" in the left menu and scroll down to "Performance / Optimization".
|
||
|
||
First thing to do: Disable "Use Embedded Subtitles". We want our subtitles free-range, not caged! 🐓
|
||
|
||
A bit further down, you'll find "Post-Processing". Enable these options:
|
||
- "Encode Subtitles to UTF8" (keeps everything readable)
|
||
- "Hearing Impaired" (removes those [DOOR CREAKS] descriptions)
|
||
- "Remove Tags" (cleans up formatting)
|
||
- "OCR Fixes" (fixes common scanning errors)
|
||
- "Common Fixes" (fixes... common stuff! 😅)
|
||
- "Fix Uppercase" (NO MORE SHOUTING IN SUBTITLES)
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-11.png)
|
||
|
||
Now scroll aaaaaall the way to the bottom and enable:
|
||
- "Automatic Subtitles Synchronization"
|
||
- Set both "Series Score Threshold" and "Movies Score Threshold" to 50
|
||
|
||
Why 50? I've found it's a good balance - Bazarr can still find good subtitles but won't use terrible ones. Feel free to adjust this if you want to be more or less picky!
|
||

### Connecting to Sonarr
|
||
|
||
Time to link Bazarr with [Sonarr](/config/sonarr)! First, we need Sonarr's API key.
|
||
|
||
Head to [http://{your-ip-address}:8989/settings/general]() and find the API Key under "Security".
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-14.png)
|
||
|
||
Copy that key and keep it safe!
|
||
|
||
Back in Bazarr, click on "Sonarr" in the left menu.
|
||
|
||
By default, Sonarr is disabled. Let's fix that! Enable Sonarr and you'll see lots of new options. Don't panic - you only need to change a few:
|
||
|
||
- Address: set to `sonarr`
|
||
- API Key: paste in Sonarr's API Key
|
||
- Click "Test"
|
||
|
||
If everything's working, you'll see your Sonarr version on the button! 🎉
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-15.png)
|
||
|
||
Click "Save" at the top of the page to finish up.
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-16.png)
|
||
|
||
Magic time! The "Series" section should appear in your left menu! ✨
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-19.png)
|
||
|
||
### Connecting to Radarr
|
||
|
||
Now let's connect to [Radarr](/config/radarr)! First step: get that API key.
|
||
|
||
Go to [http://{your-ip-address}:7878/settings/general]() and find the API Key under "Security".
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-17.png)
|
||
|
||
Copy that key and keep it handy!
|
||
|
||
Back in Bazarr, click "Radarr" in the left menu.
|
||
|
||
Just like with Sonarr, Radarr is disabled by default. Enable it and fill in:
|
||
- Address: set to `radarr`
|
||
- API Key: paste in Radarr's API Key
|
||
- Click "Test"
|
||
|
||
If the test works, you'll see your Radarr version on the button! 🎯
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-18.png)
|
||
|
||
Click "Save" at the top to wrap things up.
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-20.png)
|
||
|
||
More magic! The "Movies" section appears in your left menu! ✨
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/bazarr-21.png)
|
||
|
||
### Almost there! 🏃♂️
|
||
|
||
Just one last step! Time to set up your media service. Pick your path:
|
||
- [Jellyfin](/config/jellyfin)
|
||
- [Emby](/config/emby)
|
||
- [Plex](/config/plex)
|
||
