I've stopped recommending Plex to newcomers, because Jellyfin is ready for families now (www.xda-developers.com)

The idea with bazarr is that, if the subtitle exists, you would already have it when you play the media on your TV. Not sure how you manually searching for the subtitle on the TV in plex would improve upon that. Bazarr has no trouble automatically finding subtitles in multiple languages at once.

At the end of the day, bazarr works just fine with Plex, why don't you try it and see if it's good enough to not need to manually find subs on your TV?

Done setting a Bazarr instance up. It's very good. Thank you.

I will try Bazarr again. Thank you. Maybe it will help me make this process easier.

For some languages the subtitle situation is terrible. You have to try multiple different files to find one that is even somewhat synced or isn't completely broken. Bazarr can't do that.

There seems to be a few options for that. Bazarr has some synchronisation built in, but with varying degrees of success. Here's another tool that feels more promising: https://github.com/johnpc/subsyncarr
