If you get the message “Path does not exist” in Bazarr and you are working on a Linux system, it is important to remember that Linux is case-sensitive. This means that file and folder names such as “Movies”, “movies” and “FILMS” are considered three different paths. Therefore, carefully check whether the specified path exactly matches the actual file or folder name, including upper and lower case letters. This can be a common cause of this problem and can easily be solved by setting the path correctly.

When Bazarr stops working after a restart, this can have several causes. Below are some steps to solve the problem:

Check the version
Make sure you have the latest version of Bazarr installed. Updates may contain bug fixes and improvements that may solve your problem.

The problem may be with the address you have set. Try to passenger the address to0.0.0.0 in the settings.

Restart Bazarr
After changing the address or performing updates, restart Bazarr and check if the problem is solved.
These steps can often get Bazarr working again. If the problem persists, you can check the log files to find out what is going wrong.

The default port is 6767. If this is a problem, it can be changed in the configuration. If you want to change this, open the Bazarr interface and go to Settings then General. Here you can change the port for Bazarr. If it is not necessary, I advise you not to do this.
