= slim bazarr subgen

==== slim bazarr subgen uses Whisper AI models to automatically create subtitles for your media files in Bazarr.

It is simply a slimmed down version of https://github.com/McCloudS/subgen[McCloudS’ subgen] (thank you for making your code available!) which never worked for me without ugly hacks.

I did this because I wanted subtitles for a TV show this evening and McCloudS/subgen (again) would suddenly not start for whatever reason, and I didn’t care anymore to find out why.

NOTE: slim bazarr subgen only includes functionality required for https://www.bazarr.media/[Bazarr] subtitle generation

The idea is to have a reliable subtitle service on a much smaller code base which makes it easier to maintain, extend and use.

[#design] == Design decisions

• caches and models go to /tmp (RAM)
• remove everything not needed for Bazarr
• less is more

[#assumptions] == Assumptions

• you use Docker
• you have an Nvidia GPU and nvidia-container-toolkit (but works with CPU as well)
• you have a proper amount of RAM reserved for tmpfs in /tmp
