What is Bazarr (4K)?

Bazarr automatically downloads missing subtitles for your media library by searching 30+ providers (OpenSubtitles, Subscene, Addic7ed, and more) and embedding the best matches alongside your video files.

This is a separate Bazarr instance dedicated to your Sonarr 4K and Radarr 4K libraries. Running a separate 4K Bazarr lets you use different language profiles, provider preferences, and subtitle scoring rules from your HD library — useful when 4K releases tend to come from different sources than HD.

Features

Why ElfHosted?

Why a separate 4K Bazarr at all? Two reasons. First, 4K release groups (REMUX, UHD-BluRay) often have different subtitle availability patterns than HD releases — you'll want different provider preferences. Second, 4K libraries often serve a different audience (home-theatre setups, multi-language households) where language profile rules are stricter. Running a single Bazarr against both libraries forces compromises that hurt both. ElfHosted hosts each instance separately so you get clean isolation, plus the same datacentre-IP-protected subtitle provider access as the HD instance.

• 🔗 Pre-wired to Sonarr 4K / Radarr 4K — no API juggling
• 🛡️ Datacentre IP for provider requests — no home-IP rate-limit risk
• 🎯 Isolated from HD Bazarr — independent profiles, no rule conflicts

FAQ

Do I need both Bazarr (HD) and Bazarr (4K)?
If you maintain separate Sonarr/Radarr instances for HD and 4K (the recommended setup on ElfHosted), yes — one Bazarr per arr instance keeps language rules clean.

Why are 4K subtitles harder to find?
4K release timing often differs from HD — REMUX releases can lag retail releases by months, and subtitle providers may not have synced files yet. Using multiple providers helps coverage.
