What is the easiest subtitle approach? (lemmy.ca)

The easiest I found was going to each episode and editing the subtitles then uploading the file (even though they are in the same directory)

I’m assuming if I named better then it wouldn’t be an issue since the subtitles are named “e1, e2, etc”

What's your goal?

Bazarr?

I have the srt files already, I’m just looking for the easiest way for jellyfin to recognize them

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Name them following the filename documentation and you should be good to go

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Documentation says

Film.de.srt

Should it be filename(minus extension).de.srt?

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Yep. That should do it. Try it on one before doing them all, but that's exactly what I do and it works great.

Bazarr was a bit of a pain to set up, since I ended up wanting provider accounts to get around some rate limits, but it's solid for me now and pretty configurable. I use Plex but I'm assuming you can use the same strategy with jellyfin.

Yeah +1 for Bazarr, has been working flawlessly for me for movies and series together with the other -arrs for Jellyfin for years.

Bazarr is great. When I set it up a while ago I just went with open subtitles and bought a VIP account so it wouldn't take ages to populate all my movies. A VIP account was cheap enough that I didn't mind.

The easiest approach is to use a client that is capable of multiplexing any subtitle codec. Something like findroid for android, and I'm assuming Kodi can do it too.
