The project homepage and wiki frame Bazarr as an automated subtitle manager with automatic search, manual search, subtitle upgrade, and user guides for installation and configuration. ### Adoption history Bazarr's adoption follows Sonarr and Radarr users rather than general-purpose CLI users. Its README lists support for Windows, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, many subtitle languages, many subtitle providers, and a UI based on Sonarr. The repository page showed about 4.1k stars, 361 forks, and 178 releases at enrichment time, with v1.5.6 listed as the latest release on February 26, 2026. Input metadata lists Homebrew, Nix, and winget packages. ### How it is used Bazarr is used after Sonarr and Radarr are already configured. Users connect Bazarr to those services, map paths when the services see media through different filesystem paths, define subtitle language preferences, and let it search, download, upgrade, and record subtitle activity. The project supports automatic and manual subtitle searches, existing-library scans for internal and external subtitles, provider-specific configuration, and subtitle synchronization workflows. ### Why package nerds care Bazarr is a useful package-history example because it is nominally a media-management app but is packaged by CLI-oriented managers such as Homebrew and winget for users who run personal media automation stacks on servers, NAS boxes, and desktops. Its significance comes from filling a precise gap in the *arr ecosystem: Sonarr and Radarr know what media exists, while Bazarr specializes in subtitles and provider integration. ### Timeline - 2021: Bazarr wiki copyright footer indicates the current MkDocs-based documentation era. - 2026: Repository page lists v1.5.6 as latest release on February 26. - 2026: June beta releases continue adding subtitle provider and synchronization changes. ### Related projects - Sonarr and Radarr are Bazarr's primary companion services. - The broader Servarr/*arr ecosystem is related through media-library automation. - Subtitle providers such as OpenSubtitles, Podnapisi, Addic7ed, and many regional sources are part of Bazarr's operational ecosystem. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
