bazarr "synced" language for default subtitle

[EatPrilosec 22]

I use Bazarr to automatically download subtitles, it also has a feature that auto-syncs them with audio, but this creates an extra subtitle file named, for example, Ant Man.en.synced.srt. this gets detected as a language selection, and I find myself switching to the synced version quite often. would it be possible to either add "Synced" as a language option in the dropdown for default subtitles, or, perhaps a "prefer synced" checkbox or the like?

Why not just use the post processing and replace the incorrectly synced subtitle ?

Subtitle files that have synced in the name, has failed to sync.

I had to double check with diff after you mentioned it to make sure it wasn't placebo, but these "failed files" seem to only partially fail. notably, the ip man movies only fail at the end, when theyre wrapping things up with title cards and there is no dialogue, that is the only "failure" in syncing on those movies in my case. thats 99% of a correct subtitle file. to me.

im not wanting to delete/replace any of the files automatically. id like to be able to go do manual sync with another program if bazarr's post processing fails at its magic (or partially fails, reducing the amount of manual syncing needed.)


after more thinking, maybe there could be a "custom language" entry the user could define the parameters for?  should i make a new topic for that?
