Tip
-
Don't feel like watching subs?
-
You have no idea which of your content is dubbed?
-
Or not sure if Sonarr got the right dub?
Don't worry, I got you covered.
So finally.. you'll be able to filter by dubbed shows.
Started this project for the exact same questions. I felt other people could make use of it as well and here we are.
Taggarr is a tool for scanning and tagging your media content whether if your media is dubbed in your language you desire or not. If Taggarr finds another language other than Original Language and your Target Languages, it will mark it as "wrong-dub" using Sonarr and Kodi standard tagging system.
This way, you can filter your shows based on if they're dubbed or not, using tags within your Sonarr (for managing) or any media player that supports tagging (for watching). Taggarr will also save all the information in a JSON file and will tell you which show, season, episode and language is the wrong-dub.
Note
How it Works:
NO TAGThe show is only in its original language.DUBThe show contains ALL of your target languages.SEMI-DUBThe show missing at least one of your target languages or some episodes are missing the dub.WRONG-DUBThe show is missing your target languages and contains another language (excluding original language).ADD_TAG_TO_GENREThe tag list in the media players can be massive. This function will add the tagDubin the genre section only forDUBshows. From version 0.4.19.
Important
Quick Start:
- Sonarr
Make sure you haveMETADATAturned on with KODI/Emby Standard and all checkboxes are turned on. - Docker
Pull the Docker image fromdocker.io/basshous3/taggarr:latest - Configs
Make sure to use/tvas path to your CONTAINER (not host). Check out example of yaml configs below. - Media players
After tags are applied they should work in the media players, if not, scan TV's library metadata usingReplace all metadatamethod (leaveReplace Imagesunchecked).
| Upcoming Updates | ||
|---|---|---|
| Support for all languages | Support for Radarr | Filter scanning by genre |
| Support for multiple volumes | UI | Tag in genre |
Note
Features:
- Taggarr will save the information of your media in a JSON file located at the root folder of your TV media.
- Taggarr uses a lightweight scanning method, it reads the name of audio tracks. It DOES NOT scan the audio of your content.
- Once your library was scanned and indexed in the JSON file, it will only scan for new or modified folders.
QUICK_MODE(Bool)Checks only first video of every season.TARGET_LANGUAGES(Str)Seperated via comma, you can add multiple languages as your target.TARGET_GENRE(Str)Filter scan by genre. ie.Anime.TAG_DUB(Str)Optional custom tag.TAG_SEMI(Str)Optional custom tag.TAG_WRONG_DUB(Str)Optional custom tag.RUN_INTERVAL_SECONDS(Int)Custom time interval. Default is every 2 hours.DRY_RUN(Bool)Not sure? Try it first, without writing any tags, JSON file will still be saved.WRITE_MODE(Int)Something not working or changed your mind? Don't worry I got you covered.WRITE_MODE=0Works like usual.WRITE_MODE=1Rewrites everything, all tags and JSON file.WRITE_MODE=2Removes everything, all tags and JSON file.START_RUNNING(Bool)Start the container without initiating scan for CLI usage.ADD_TAG_TO_GENRE(Bool)Adds the tagDubin the genre section only forDUBshows.
Warning
- Currently supporting only Sonarr. Support for Radarr will come in the upcoming updates as well.
- This project is still in very early stages and can have bugs. Currently only tested on Linux.
- Coding is only a hobby of mine and I am still learning, use this program at your own discretion.
- Make sure to read the documentation properly.
