Via the preferences you can configure almost every parameter Sub-Zero uses when handling your subtitles.įrom an infinite number of different languages to search for, to hearing impaired settings, foreign/forced-only captions, embedded subtitle handling and many more. It periodically searches for missing subtitles and better subtitles for your media files. Sub-Zero comes with its own background task scheduler. If you don't want SRT files lying around in your library, you also have the option to store subtitles inside the internal metadata storage of the Plex Media Server.

By default it saves the subtitles externally, as "sidecars", besides the actual media file.Īdditionally you can specify a fixed location for all your subtitles, or pre-defined or custom sub-folders. You can decide where Sub-Zero stores its downloaded subtitles. If you like renaming your media files, you want to have a look at SZ refiners. Moviename.mkv has a higher chance of getting bad subtitles than -RLSGRP. The more information your media filenames have, the better. The one with the highest score gets picked automatically.
