## Common questions

### On Linux, what must I do after installing Bazarr from Python sources for it to do anything?

Use a dedicated folder such as /opt/bazarr for the files, then run python3 bazarr.py from that folder. Without running it, Bazarr is installed but not actually doing anything.

### Will Bazarr improve a subtitle it has already downloaded?

Yes. It can search for matching subtitles regularly and upgrade a previously downloaded subtitle if a better one is found.

### Have users reported Whisper producing false subtitle text?

Users report that Whisper can create hallucinated subtitle text during long silences. They ask whether VAD settings might help.

### Does the LinuxServer.io Bazarr container receive updates?

The container is documented to receive regular and timely application updates. It also gets weekly base OS updates.

## Alternatives
