This is less of an issue with movies and much more of a problem with TV shows. It seems many of the shows I watch aren’t encoded with subs included.
I’ve got the Open Subtitles plugin installed in Jellyfin.
If I set my library to only download perfect matches, it gets almost none.
If I set it to grab any, they’re more-often-than-not mistimed, and then I have to take the manual shotgun approach. Doing this for each episode creates massive admin overhead.
Is there a better way?
You can run Bazarr alongside Sonarr to automatically search for subs if they aren’t encoded in the file.

Any idea how well this works for anime? The built in Jellyfin option absolutely shits the bed for anime and gives me subtitles from shows that aren’t remotely the same.
It works the same way as for anything else, just pick one of the providers for anime as well.
I’m configuring Bazarr right now. It looks like they have a couple providers specifically for anime. So, I’m hopeful?
Came here to bring up Bazarr. Its the only *arr I haven’t opened up since initial deployment and setup. It’s only failed me on a couple of media items so far so that’s like…99.9997% success without me even touching anything
What providers do you suggest?
I use Bazarr alongside sonarr and radarr and it works pretty darn well
