Bulk Cleaning

Bulk Cleaning

Subclean 1.3.0+ supports the --sweep parameter to clean a whole directory (and many, many sub-directories inside it)

If you want this to run automatically with Bazarr then head on over to this page.

This will recursively look through sub-directories for subtitle files and add them to a queue. Once the file collection is complete, each subtitle file will be cleaned one by one. The cleaned file will overwrite the existing file.

subclean --sweep "path/to/media"

You can also pass --depth n to limit how deep subclean will look when finding subtitles.
For example --depth 1 means subclean will only grab files from the first directory. By default the depth is set to 10. There is a hard limit of 1-25. I recommend leaving this untouched.
