Whisper Provider Setup - Bazarr Wiki
November 13, 2025 - Change the endpoint to the server you are hosting the Whisper container on (127.0.0.1 if on the same machine), and adjust the timeout if you find it keeps timing out on long movies or TV shows. The endpoint must start with http:// When Bazarr doesn't know the language of the media you're trying to get subtitles for, Whisper must guess.

Has anyone tried the Whisper AI provider?
I've tried to get it running several times in my systems each time ended in the singular instance of whisper wherever that might be installed being unable to communicate with bazarr but being able to manually create 'okay' subtitles if I used whispers GUI and uploaded a file by hand. I run a large homelab with about 100 working docker apps and other installs of various types across several nodes so the usual comments of 'probably your firewall' and 'It works for me' could apply here but probably shouldn't as this isnt a standalone instant of the issue. The only apps that have issues are these two. No matter where I put them. Both installed on a windows PC on nasty docker desktop, both in an ubuntu vm. One on a windows and one on a bare metal ubuntu. Both on bare metal. The list of attempts go on. However, The bazarr team are aware that more and more people are having issues such as this and they tried to contact me over the Christmas break to use me as a test subject for working out the issue for me and the others facing similar problems that they've not been able to fix just not had the time to get on a call with them yet - so, hats off to them for trying. Side note on the limitations, whisper cannot use IGPU. Only cpu and nvidia gpu. Which can be quite a limitation for some in environments where throwing a tonne of compute power isnt viable or for those running power efficient systems without dedicated GPUs. More on reddit.com

It seems I can use Whisper for adding subtitles with Bazarr... What's the URL?
I assume I can use the Whisper addon externally, so what would the URL be? More on community.home-assistant.io

Settings => Subtitles => Performance / Optimization Disable Use Embedded Subtitles Embedded subtitles are subtitles that are in the video container (mkv, mp4, etc) Bazarr needs to look inside the video container to know which subtitles are in it this can be resource intensive for some low powered devices and also give you issues with API Limits if you store your media on the cloud.
