Frequently asked questions

How do I configure Bilibili credentials?

Run `bilibili-subtitle-fetch init` and paste your Bilibili cookie. The configuration is saved to `~/.config/bilibili-subtitle-fetch/config.toml` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\bilibili-subtitle-fetch\config.toml` (Windows).

What is the ASR fallback feature?

If a video has no built-in subtitles, the server can automatically download the audio and generate subtitles using OpenAI Whisper. This is enabled or disabled via the `[asr]` config section or the `--asr`/`--no-asr` flags.

What output formats are available?

Two formats: `text` (plain subtitle text) and `timestamped` (subtitle content with timestamps). The default can be overridden with `--output-format`.

Can I use a custom configuration file path?

Yes, use the `--config /path/to/config.toml` argument when running the server or CLI commands.

What dependencies does the server require?

Python 3.13, the `uv` tool, and optionally Whisper for ASR fallback. A valid Bilibili cookie is required for subtitle access.
