# How to setup Quality Profiles

*aka How to setup Custom Formats*<br><br>
|
||
|
So what's the best way to setup the Custom Formats and which ones to use with which scores to setup your quality profiles?
|
||

|
|
||

|
There isn't a best setup, it depends on your setup (hardware devices) and your own personal preferences.
|
||

|
Some prefer high quality audio (HD Audio), others high quality video. Many prefer both.

Here I will try to explain how to make the most use of Custom Formats to help you to setup your quality profiles for your personal needs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I created a [flowchart](#which-quality-profile-should-you-choose) to make your decision/choices easier.

After you've added the Custom Formats, as explained in [How to import Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
||
|
You will need to set it up in the quality Profile you want to use/prefer to make use of the Custom Formats.

1. Keep upgrading Custom Format until this score is reached. (setting this to `0` means no upgrades will happen based on Custom Formats)

Custom formats are controlled by Quality Profiles.
|
||
3 years ago
|
|
||
|
- The Upgrade Until score prevents upgrading once a release with this desired score has been downloaded.
|
||
|
- A score of 0 results in the custom format being informational only.
|
||
|
- The Minimum score requires releases to reach this threshold otherwise they will be rejected.
|
||
|
- Custom formats that match with undesirable attributes should be given a negative score to lower their appeal.
|
||
|
- Outright rejections should be given a negative score low enough that even if all of the other formats with positive scores were added, the score would still fall below the minimum.

I decided not to add `Audio Advanced` Custom Formats to the encodes profile, You will hardly find HD audio with HD Bluray Encodes. With HD Bluray Encodes I personally suggest to go for quality. If you also want HD audio formats I would suggest to go for the Remuxes or UHD Encodes.

2 years ago
|
- You don't have a AppleTV (Being it can't passthrough untouched HD audio).

|

In this example I have lossy Atmos over lossless DTS because the object metadata (Atmos) matters more to me over lossy vs lossless.

I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Radarr
|

|

`Media Management` => `File Management` to `Do Not Prefer` and use the [Repack/Proper](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#repackproper) Custom Format.

|
??? FAQ "How to use a Custom Format to avoid certain releases? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
|
||
3 years ago
|
|
||
3 years ago
|
For Custom Formats you really want to avoid, set it to something really low like `-10000` and not something like `-10`.
|
||
3 years ago
|
Being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like `+10` it could happen that for example the `BR-DISK` will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and if your `Minimum Custom Format Score` is set at `0`.
|
||
|
|
||
2 years ago
|
### Releases you should avoid
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a must have for every Quality Profile you use in my opinion. All these Custom Formats make sure you don't get Low Quality Releases.

|
??? FAQ "What do Custom Formats with a score of 0 do? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

|
|

All Custom Formats with a score of 0 are pure informational and don't do anything.

|
|

|
### Minimum Custom Format Score

|
??? info "Minimum Custom Format Score - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

|
Some people suggest not to use negative scores for your Custom Formats and set this option to a higher score then 0.
|
||
3 years ago
|
|
||
3 years ago
|
The reason why I don't prefer/use this is because you could limit yourself when some new groups or whatever will be released.
|
||

|
|
||
|
Also it makes it much more clear what you prefer and what you want to avoid.

|
??? info "Audio Channels - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

|
Personally I wouldn't add the audio channels Custom Formats being you could limit yourself in the amount of releases you're able to get. Only use this if you got specific reasons that you need them.
|
||
3 years ago
|
|
||
3 years ago
|
Using it with any kind of Remuxes Quality Profile is useless in my opinion being that 99% of all remuxes are multi audio anyway. You can get better scores using the `Audio Advanced` Custom Formats.

Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the [{{ radarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format.

Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support. If you have more than a of couple users, you will notice much more transcoding.

Use x265 only for 4k releases and the [{{ radarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} makes sure you still get the x265 releases.
