Manual Adjustment

In the case where the subtitles are still off by a couple of seconds or maybe a minute, you can send a request to Bazarr with exactly how they should be synchronized by structuring your message the following way:

• adjust by s/ms/m/min

Examples: en adjust by 2 min, en adjust by -20 ms, en adjust by 5 s

Offset

In the case where you want to specify the offset, you can use include the offset keyword in your message, followed by a number to specify the subtitle offset.

Example: en offset 120

If the subtitles are for 4K media, you will have to include '4K' in the message as well.

Keep in mind that synching 4K takes longer on average due to the size of the files.
