Removes audio and subtitle tracks in languages you don't want from your movies and TV, without re-encoding. Files with no audio in your language are left alone and flagged. Starts in report-only mode, keeps every original in a recycle folder with one-click restore, waits for torrents to finish seeding, and tells Radarr, Sonarr and Jellyfin about each change. Set everything up in the web UI.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Can I preview what Dubarr will change before it removes tracks?

Yes. It starts in report-only mode and lists the files it would change and the space saved. Nothing changes until you apply it or disable report-only.

How are original files backed up after Dubarr swaps in a cleaned copy?

Dubarr writes the cleaned copy next to the original and checks it before replacing the original. Originals are kept in a recycle folder for a period you choose, default 7 days, and can be restored from History.

What happens if the file is still being seeded?

Hardlinked files that are usually still seeding are skipped until the torrent is gone. This prevents storing a film twice.

Does Dubarr tell my media stack to pick up the changed files?

After a change, Radarr, Sonarr and Jellyfin are asked to rescan the file.

Does it need a GPU or re-encode video?

No. The video and kept audio and subtitle tracks are copied bit for bit, so there is no quality loss and no GPU needed.

What does it do with audio tracks that have no language tag?

They are left alone and flagged. You can use Listen & tag to hear a 30-second sample or read subtitle lines, then tag the language; MKV tags are written in place, but files still seeding are not tagged.
