Subtitle language priority

82 votes

I want to have option to select 2 and more languages that would not to be downloaded all but only one of them.

Example:
I have downloading EN and 1 of the [CZ, SK], so bazarr download en and looking for CZ, SK when download 1 of them stop searching for 2nd.

or other way, if downloaded SK, continue look for CZ and when download CZ stop search for SK.

i want it because CZ SK lang are similar languages, and when someone translate SK, only rarely someone make also CZ and vice versa. And after i have lots of missing subs with i dont want to be downloaded

I am also very interested in this feature. I download English and french subtitles and I would prefer to have my media marked as "Has a Subtitle" when only one of those languages is available. Then I can force downloading other languages manually when I want.

Select which language would be the cutoff, meaning that if that language subtitle was found then it would no longer search for other languages.

Example:
Wanted languages: en, pt, pt-BR
Cutoff language: pt

If Bazarr finds pt language then look no further and consider it has pulled languages needed for this title.

"Allow to define cutoff language" (suggested by Vault on 2020-02-24), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

I would just like to add to this. In the first run/search it should allow download of all wanted subtitles. Cutoff should only be tested on the second run. Because this way we could still have both pt and pt-BR available from the first search before cutting off. On the second run it would see that pt is already available and would reach cutoff so no further searching from now on.

I guess this could be an option? Download all available (and wanted) languages before cutoff: ON/OFF

My situation: I want a Dutch subtitle for my media. If there is a Dutch subtitle, I do not need an English one. If there is no Dutch subtitle, English is my second choice.
Now I get both. Which isn't necessary.

It's a work in progress. Should be there in v0.9.1 or v0.9.2.
