I have a few videos I ripped from CDs that I’m loading onto a personal plex server, but all of them use the type of subtitles that will force the video to transcode.

Is there an easy place for finding .srt files? I figured this community would know…

    Bazarr is an app for finding and managing subtitles that syncs with Radarr and Sonarr. It might work with Plex but I’m not positive

      It actually works brilliantly with Plex, especially since you can use multiple indexers as sources.

      Just make sure to set up preferred languages in Bazarr properly, store the subs alongside the video files and rename them appropriately, and Plex will pick up on them instantly.

      Edit: on second reading, perhaps you meant solely with Plex? Without any *arrs? That does become more tedious and a dedicated desktop tool might be a more logical choice then.

        Bazaar has an option to download based on things not in sonarr or radarr so you can use it with base Plex.

      So long as it gets .srt files I can make it work with plex :D I’ll look into it, thanks!

        Second vote for Bazarr. I use it for all my TV Shows & Movies and works like a charm! Not sure about STV though.
