Operate the Subtitles Server

Owner controls determine which folders Subtitles may scan and write, which providers receive search metadata, and how state is protected.

  • Manage library folders
  • Connect providers
  • Configure languages and automation
  • Secure access
  • Back up and update
  • Look up configuration

Keep app state and media backups separate. A healthy Server or successful scan does not prove provider availability or correct timing for every subtitle.
