Bazarr let you download subs for your titles automatically. But if for some reason you needed to sync old subtitles, wither you need to do it because you have not synced them before or you have edited them elsewhere, you will be forced to do it one by one as there is no option to bulk sync them except a per series option which won't help if you would like to sync movies or if you have several shows. This cli tool help you achieve that by utilizing bazarr's api.
- Install go in your system. this can be done through here. https://go.dev/doc/install
- After installation in a terminal install the module
go install github.com/ajmandourah/bazarr-sync/cmd/bazarr-sync@latest
make sure your go path is included in your path. you should be able to use the command directly with bazarr-sync or bazarr-sync.exe in windows.
pull the image
sudo docker pull ghcr.io/ajmandourah/bazarr-sync:latest
create or copy the config.yaml file from the example folder. edit it to your settings. for docker you can use the bazarr container name if you have bazarr in a bridged network (not the default docker network). change the network name in the command.
Run the command in the same folder where the config.yaml is located. change the command to your desired functionfor example bazarr-sync sync shows
sudo docker run -it --rm \
-v ${PWD}/config.yaml:/usr/src/app/config.yaml \
--network <NETWORK_NAME> \
ghcr.io/ajmandourah/bazarr-sync:latest \
bazarr-sync sync movies
use the provided config.yaml file as a template. fill in the required fields. either direct the flag --config to your config file or place it in the working directiory where you bazarr-sync is located.

#docker network as name resolution won't happen there.
Address: <bazarr_address>

The functionality to enable syncing specefic movies/shows are added. to do so follow these steps:
- use the
--listflag to view a list of your Shows/Movies with their respective sonarr/radarr ids. the output will shows as follows
Title | SonarrSeriesId
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Body Problem | 1304
The Apothecary Diaries | 1043
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill To Rise in the World | 953
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024) | 1341
The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases | 961
- note the ids of your desired shows/movies to be synced
- use the usual sync command and add the flag
--radarr-idor--sonarr-id - PROFIT
Example:
bazarr-sync --config config.yaml sync shows --sonarr-id 1302,953,961
You can sync both movies and shows in the same time. what I recommend is using tmux and run the tool in 2 windows. this will assure that you won't loose progress.
