Hello, I’m configuring Whisperai as a provider on bazarr and I cannot get it to connect. I can type in the local ip address with port 9000 and I can see the interface. How can I fix the error “ConnectionError” on bazarr?

I've got whisper working in unraid using the whisper-asr-webservice container, but I've noticed there is another whisper model 'faster-whisper', that's supposedly 4x faster than the original.. but, I can't seem to get bazarr to talk to it.

Anyone had any luck using bazarr with linuxserver/faster-whisper?

Is it any good?

Hi All,

I thought i'd chuck this up there in case it helps anyone.

I setup and was using the whisper-asr-webservice docker on Unraid. Everything connected fine, it'd process a couple files but then inevitably it would throw a connection error in Bazarr and want to wait another 24 hours.

After scanning the log i noticed it was trying to process multiple files at a time. It would request one, start processing and then request another. I am unsure if it is capabale of doing multiple at once (I assume it is), but perhaps it was just trying too many for my system (i5 13500).

The solution that has worked thus far was changing the "connection/response timeout in seconds" under WhisperAI in providers from the default 5 seconds up to 120 seconds (2 minutes).

So far it has processed the most in a row that it has without any issues, and the logs show it (finally) starting and completing before going for another file with no timeout errors or connections aborted etc.

EDIT: Ran into an issue after a few hours and it seems to be due to a movie being transcribed which took ~10 minutes, so it tried a couple of times and failed so threw the error again and stopped. I've now upped to 12 minutes as i believe that should prevent the issue again, but it highlights so far that the frequency needs to be changed based on the largest media you have. I hope this helps someone having those connection issues.

When it finishes it seems to move straight on to the next file, so the time between connection attempts looks to be fine to be set for a long time.

Reposted from a few hours ago as i made a typo in the subject and couldn't figure out how to change it.

Anytime bazarr searches for subtitles lately I get the following error:

Retrying (Retry(total=8, connect=3, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f613e33cca0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused')': /

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix it?
