Ability to set a time for upgrading previously downloaded subtitles

3 votes

In my specific use-case this would be helpful as I run snapraid overnight and subtitle data changing on my media array would be problematic. I'm able to prevent the other "arr" softwares from causing issue by simply adding scheduling to my download clients.

allowing to choose a time for this would put it in line with the other subtitle retrieval options and ensure it doesnt grab subtitles while generating parity information.

after looking more thoroughly, this needs to be edited just a bit. the allowance of being able to add a specific time instead of timeframe for ALL the "search and upgrade subtitles" options is what i'm after.

you can sort of jankily circumvent the issue at current by say... setting it to 24 hours and manually initiating a scan outside of the time you want to avoid them. this quickly becomes problematic as snapraid syncs shutdown a pretty wide window timewise.

the searching isnt the problem, search them.. queue them up. the actual writing to the non system drive array during maintenance hours is the problem.

i'd prefer not to kill the service just like i didnt want to kill the "arrs" as they'd miss rss during that window and prevent them from queueing things up. fortunately they use sabnzbd and qbitorrent to do their work so setting schedules to not download during the maintenance window solved it. No option other than closing bazarr at current.

I would love to have this feature myself. My server is under a heavy load when synchronizing and downloading subtitles and running all the other arrs on the same system. Kind of slows down plex (my hardware is not the best.. kind of trash actually..) when bazarr is synching subtitles. Therefore would be great to have a timeframe e.g. 00:00-07:00 where bazarr does its thing.
