The ability to add weighting to a providers score. Eg,+10 prefer addic7ed over other providers. Or -10, prefer other providers over addic7ed.

In general subs from Addic7ed have the highest quality. Addic7ed does not have a hash match and Opensubtitles does. This means that Opensubtitles is always preferred even though some of their subs are machine translated. SubZero has an Addic7ed boost.

@JeeDeWee Bazarr is built on top of subliminal_patch which is the core of SubZero. So you are already having the Addic7ed boost feature with Bazarr.

But it only works on the same matching parameters.
Example:
99.72%, opensubtitles, Matching: 1, Not Matching: 10 (hash matching)
96.11%, addic7ed, Matching: 7, Not Matching: 5
92.5%, opensubtitles, Matching: 7, Not Matching: 5

I'd still want the addic7ed version over the more than likely wrong version some moron added the file hash to.

If you can point me in the right direction, i could possibly come up with a pull request since i suffer from the same problem.

I want this.

For example for portuguese on opensubtitles i get pt-br instead of pt-pt... and I prefer to download from legendasdivx which has quality control, sometimes I get subtitles from open and on legendasdivx its ripped from br or tv... besides there's good translators overthere.
So I would prefer downloading from that provider instead open... similar issue has addicted also.

Same here.

From the most part, Legendas.TV has the best subtitles for me, but by some reason OpenSubtitles has the best score (maybe because they are more... "popular"?).

Anyway... would be nice to have the ability to give some kind of weighting to providers, just like sonarr and radarr allows us to prefer usenet or torrent.

Is this still be considering a feature for developers?
It would be awesome because bazarr is downloading pt-pt subtitles form Opensubtitles that were cloned from Legendasdivx but with the addition of ads inside. With this feature I could prioritize Legendasdivx for my pt-pt language.

Opensubtitles has too much trash - auto translated, badly translated, etc.
Other sites (specially those that are single language) curate much more carefully, but end with lower score because they don't have hash, or don't list all the compatible releases. I'd like to be able to add +5 to Subdivx, por example.

Hope this is still under consideration - opensubtitles has a lot of junk, but scores higher for some reason.
It would be very helpful to limit providers to specific languages.
