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?
Yes, you can use “custom formats” to filters only scene groups (or your own prefered list) in Sonarr/Radarr. There are examples to import here: https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#fr-scene-groups
