Bazarr LavX Fork v1.5.5-lavx - "Nexus Dawn"

Stable Release | Based on upstream Bazarr v1.5.5

Highlights

This release brings the LavX fork to full stability with all custom features working reliably. The "Nexus Dawn" codename marks the point where all fork components -- AI translation, web scraping, batch processing, and the enhanced job queue -- work together seamlessly.

Important: OpenSubtitles.org API Shutdown

On January 29, 2026, OpenSubtitles.org announced the final shutdown of their legacy XML-RPC API for all third-party applications -- both VIP and non-VIP users. The shutdown is taking effect in the coming weeks.

This fork is not affected. The LavX fork includes a self-hosted web scraper that accesses OpenSubtitles.org directly through the website, bypassing the API entirely. As long as the OpenSubtitles.org website remains accessible (confirmed by the site admin to stay available as read-only), subtitle search and download will continue to work. The OpenSubtitles.org provider has not been removed from this fork.

If you rely on OpenSubtitles.org subtitles, this fork with its scraper companion container is one of the few ways to maintain access after the API shutdown.

What's New

AI Subtitle Translator - Full Batch Support

• Fixed critical import error that prevented the OpenRouter AI translator from loading at all (show_progress, hide_progress, show_message were missing from event_handler.py)
• Fixed batch translate deadlock where batch jobs would hang indefinitely because process_episode_translation and process_movie_translation were not passing job_id through, causing the job queue to deadlock
• Fixed missing subtitle indexing after batch translation -- translated files were saved to disk but never registered in Bazarr's database, so they would not appear in the UI

OpenSubtitles.org Web Scraper

• Integrated scraper service for OpenSubtitles.org that bypasses the now-deprecated API
• Self-hosted companion container for subtitle search and download
• Continues to work after the official API shutdown as long as the website is accessible

Enhanced Job Queue

• Thread-safe job queue with proper locking mechanisms
• Progress tracking for long-running translation jobs
• Real-time frontend updates via WebSocket events

Fork Infrastructure

• Multi-stage Docker build optimized for layer caching
• Python 3.14 runtime with JIT compilation enabled
• Automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions
• GHCR container registry integration
