"Excluded Tags" from filename

16 votes

Some of my videos have hardcoded subs and I would like to avoid to download unnecessary subtitles for them.

With the actual system (tags or "only Monitored" from radarr & sonnar) there's some troubles to handle them correctly:

- for the series: If I use the tag the whole serie is excluded (just for one episode) and if I use the only monitored option, other series that are not monitored are also excluded.
- for the movies the tag solution is usable but it still require to manually curating all my database

So, my solution would be to add an option to exclude based on part of the filename. Most of the time these file already have something like "VOST" or "hardcodedsub" in their filename...

Thank you for reading me, taking my request into consideration and especially for developing this tool.

Maybe its not common in other languages but french subtitle are often burned into the source video so its impossible to turn them off. In that case, bazarr cannot see the subtitle and tries and download new ones. If i could add a filename tag (in french is VOSTFR) that would tell bazarr to ignore the file that would be great.
Alternativly, allowing to ignore certain seasons or individual file manually would be great.

In the current setup i have to either make fake sub, or ignore an entire serie by putting not language profile, but often only a couple seasons are like this and i would like to still process the rest of it.

Here is a 2y old discussion about this https://www.reddit.com/r/bazarr/comments/t4j8pl/how_do_i_tell_bazarr_the_subtitle_i_want_is/

This already exists.

you can add tags in sonarr / radarr and tell bazarr to ignore the series / movies with those tags.

I'm not sure this work on a per episode basis. If only half my episodes have the tag, will bazarr fetch the rest ?
Edit : You cant make a tag based on file name in neither sonarr nor radarr so the process is still manual. Its not solving the issue
