How to integrate with jellyfin or bazarr ?

[luochen1990]

It will be perfect if there is some way to integrate this tool with jellyfin or bazarr so that we can automatically have subtitle of one language from another language

Thanks for the suggestion.

This tool is designed to simply read and produce text type files in their entirety. Integrating it with media server tools would require more complex logic to handle real-time streaming, timing synchronization, and dynamic subtitle delivery - capabilities that go beyond the scope of this tool. Additionally, such integration would need to account for the varying configurations and compatibility requirements of different media platforms.

It would be absolutely amazing to just have it replace (or in addition) to the bazarr translation feature. Bazarr uses google translate to translate english subtitles to some other language and this results in extremely poor translation quality. No streaming needed, just a button in bazarr to translate on demand. Everything needed is some glue code to call this from bazarr.

You can integrate this tool with Bazarr quite easily using the Custom Post-Processing feature. While you can build out more advanced setups, the simplest option is just a one-liner (see screenshot below):

/app/chatgpt-subtitle-translator/cli/translator.mjs --log-level "warn" --from "{{subtitles_language}}" --to "Spanish" --input "{{subtitles}}" --output "{{directory}}"/"{{episode_name}}".es.srt

If you’re running Bazarr on bare metal, just replace /app/chatgpt-subtitle-translator with the path where you cloned the repository locally (after completing the setup steps).

If you’re running Bazarr in Docker, the process is a bit more involved—you’ll need to build a custom image that includes both Bazarr and this translator:

FROM linuxserver/bazarr:latest

# Install Node.js, npm, and Git via Alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache \
    nodejs \
    npm \
    git

# Clone the chatgpt-subtitle-translator repo and install dependencies
RUN git clone https://github.com/Cerlancism/chatgpt-subtitle-translator /app/chatgpt-subtitle-translator && \
    cd /app/chatgpt-subtitle-translator && \
    npm install && \
    chmod +x cli/translator.mjs

# Pass API-related configs from Docker Compose
ARG OPENAI_API_KEY
ARG OPENAI_API_RPM
ARG OPENAI_BASE_URL

# Set environment variables inside the container
ENV OPENAI_API_KEY=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
ENV OPENAI_API_RPM=${OPENAI_API_RPM:-500}
ENV OPENAI_BASE_URL=${OPENAI_BASE_URL:-"https://api.openai.com/v1"}

I’ve been running this setup for over a year now, and it’s been very stable and reliable.
