Hi, saw you made some changes to ReadMe and wanted to clarify the Bazarr setup so its consistent with the others, but also to highlight the low score matching.

Bazarr seems to return a low score for Subgen subtitles which means they're (almost) never used when auto-searched. I didn't know this but wish I did 😅

P.S It would be great if there were some way to improve the score of subgen subtitles in Bazarr. I understand wanting to have a score lower than 100%, but we could derive a percentage based on the selected models benchmark accuracy. E.g. Larger-v3 has around a 10% word error rate (WER) in complex audio, so a 90% score would be accurate. Any thoughts on this?

The scoring is hardcoded on Bazarrs side, so can’t fix that here. There have been talks in the Bazarr discord of making it configurable, but no action has come from it.

Added a tip about disabling subtitle upgrades when not using other providers.

Just made another small tweak to the readme on this PR.

Makes sense. I guess Subgen would need to provide additional information to Bazarr in order for it to automatically estimate a score (unless the intent is to make it user-configurable). Something to consider in the future? :)
