Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr. It manage and download subtitles based on your requirements. You defined your preferences by TV show and Bazarr take care of everything for you.
## Major Features Include:
* Support for major platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, etc.
* You can use [this image](https://hub.docker.com/r/morpheus65535/bazarr) to quickly build your own isolated app container. It's based on the Linux instructions above. For more info about Docker check out the [official website](https://www.docker.com).
* Configure Bazarr settings (listening ip and port, base url and log level).
* Configure Path Mappings only if you need it. Typical use case: Sonarr access episode files trough local path (D:\episodes\file.mkv) but Bazarr access those same episode files trough a network shared (\\server\episodes\file.mkv). In this case, you would be configuring Path Substitutions like this: D:\episodes --> \\server\episodes. If you don't set this correctly, you'll get http error 500 later down the road.
* Configure updates. Recommended values are "master" and automatic enabled.
### 3 - In "Sonarr" tab:
* Configure Sonarr ip, port, base url, SSL and API key.
### 4 - In "Subliminal" tab:
* Configure enabled providers and enabled languages. Enabled languages are those that you are going to be able to assign to a series later.
### 5 - Save those settings and restart (important!!!) Bazarr.
### 6 - Wait 2 minutes
### 7 - On the "Series" page, you should now see all your series listed with a wrench icon on yellow background. Those are the series that need to be configured. Click on those one you want to get subtitles for and select desired languages. You don't have to do this for every series but it will looks cleaner without all this yellow ;-). If you don't want any substitles for a series, just click on the wrench icon and then on "Save" without selecting anything.
### 8 - On each series page, you should see episode files available on disk, existing subtitles and missing subtitles (in case you requested some and they aren't already existing).
* If you don't see your episodes right now, wait some more time. It take time to do the initial synchronization between Sonarr and Bazarr.
### 10 - Have fun and keep in mind that providers may temporary refuse connection due to connection limit exceeded or problem on the provider web service.
