<pclass="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>This guide is created and maintained by <ahref="https://github.com/NiceTSY">Someone said "Nice"?</a></p>
</div>
<p>So what's the best way to setup the Custom Profiles and which one to use with which scores to get French and English Audio?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that most releases are MULTi (understand DUAL audio, original and French audio) and it will be difficult to only have French audio, unless you are willing to get 720p or you are only looking for French movies.</p>
<p>Therefore you will need a slightly modified MULTi Custom Format than the one find in the original guide. This one also recognize VO and VFF in the name and rename the import. This is important for the score to match before and after the import and to avoid download loop.</p>
<divclass="admonition attention">
<pclass="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>All the used scores and combination of Custom Formats in this Guide are tested to get the desired results and prevent download loops as much as possible.</p>
<p>From experience most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CF that work together they end up with undesired results.</p>
<p>If you're unsure or have questions do not hesitate to ask for help on Discord</p>
<p>This section seems quite similar to the original guide but few information change and are needed for profiles to work. Please be sure you read it thoughtfully.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>After you've added the Custom Formats, as explained in <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats/"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">How to import Custom Formats</a>.
You will need to set it up in the quality Profile you want to use/prefer to make use of the Custom Formats.</p>
<li>Allow upgrades. Radarr will stop upgrading quality once (3) is met.</li>
<li>Upgrade until the selected quality.</li>
<li>The <code>Minimum Custom Format Score</code> allowed to download. <ahref="#minimum-custom-format-score">More Info</a></li>
<li>Keep upgrading Custom Format until this score is reached. (setting this to <code>0</code> means no upgrades will happen based on Custom Formats)</li>
<li>Your preferred language profile for your releases, choose <code>Any</code></li>
</ol>
<divclass="admonition info">
<pclass="admonition-title">We do choose <code>Any</code> for the language profile as otherwise an English movies recognized with French audio in Radarr will not be grabbed and vice-versa.</p>
</div>
<p>At the bottom in your chosen profile you will see the added Custom Formats where you can start setting up the scores.</p>

<li>A score of 0 results in the custom format being informational only.</li>
<li>The Minimum score requires releases to reach this threshold otherwise they will be rejected.</li>
<li>Custom formats that match with undesirable attributes should be given a negative score to lower their appeal.</li>
<li>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.</li>

<pclass="admonition-title">You can safely replace the original <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#multi">Multi</a> Custom Format from the Guide with it.</p>
<p><strong>French Audio:</strong> This is a custom format to help Radarr recognise release with French audio. It is optional and only give a small boost if the release indeed possess a French audio.</p>
When Radarr find a release with 'MULTi' in, it will allocate a 300 score on it thanks to the <strong>Multi-Audio</strong> custom format. If the release indeed possess at least the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the <strong>Multi-French</strong>. Allowing the release to keep the 300 score from the Multi-Audio.</p>
<h2id="i-am-only-interested-in-vostfr">I am only interested in VOSTFR<aclass="headerlink"href="#i-am-only-interested-in-vostfr"title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>My strongest suggestion will be for you to look at <ahref="../../Bazarr/Setup-Guide/">Bazarr</a>. It will do an amazing job for getting your subtitle on every movies.</p>
<p>An other option is to disregard the MULTi part and just add the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#vostfr">VOSTFR</a> with a score of 1000.</p>
<p>Here I will explain how to make the most use of the French Custom Formats and show you some personal examples that I'm using. You can use these to get an idea on how to setup your own.</p>
<p>All these examples make use of the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">Collection of Custom Formats</a> from the original guide and mix them with the French Custom Formats.</p>
<divclass="admonition attention">
<pclass="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>Those examples use the original guide Custom Formats too for fallback. Meaning that if you do not find a MULTi you will still have a good scoring for single audio.</p>
<p>This is the first intent of those Custom Formats. However, they can work alone and you can safely not add the original Custom Formats.</p>

<p>If you're unsure or have questions do not hesitate to ask for help on Discord</p>
<p>Those are all optional and only there to rename your release or to avoid a certain type of French Audio (e.g. you do not want VFQ or VQ audio, in this case you will put them at <code>-10000</code> instead of <code>0</code>).</p>

Allowing the release to keep the 300 score from the Multi-Audio.</p>
<p>If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then it's best to add <strong>ALL</strong> the HDR Formats listed above (including <strong>ALL</strong> the DV ones (with and without HDR in it), It is important to also add the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#dv-webdl">DV (WEBDL)</a> Custom Format with a score of -10000</p>

<li><strong>No-RlsGroup:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Some indexers strip out the release group what could result in LQ groups getting a higher score. For example a lot of EVO releases end up stripping the group name, so they appear as "upgrades", and they end up getting a decent score if other things match.</li>
<li><strong>Obfuscated:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] (use these only if you dislike renamed releases)</li>
<li><strong>Retags:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] (use these only if you dislike retagged releases)</li>
<li><strong>Bad Dual Groups:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] These groups take the original release, then they add their own preferred language (ex. Portuguese) as the main audio track (AAC 2.0), What results after renaming and FFprobe that the media file will be recognized as Portuguese AAC audio. It's a common rule that you add the best audio as first.
<p>This Custom Format works together with the normal DV Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.</p>
<p>Most WEBDL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR10, What can results in playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.</p>
<p>Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.</p>

<ul>
<li>If you only watch your movies on a setup that completely supports Dolby Vision from start to end then give it a score of <code>0</code> or just don't add it.</li>

<li>It will try to download MULTi release first, and fallback to best quality single audio after.</li>
<li>It will download WEB-DL 2160p for the streaming movies you see more often lately.</li>
<li>It will upgrade to Remux-2160p when available.</li>
<li>The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of 9999.</li>

<p>So why such a ridiculously high <code>Upgrade Until Custom</code> and not a score of <code>500</code>?</p>
<p>Because I'm too lazy to calculate the maximum for every Quality Profile I use, and I want it to upgrade to the highest possible score anyway.</p>

<summary>How to use a Custom Format to avoid certain releases? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>For Custom Formats you really want to avoid, set it to something really low like <code>-10000</code> and not something like <code>-10</code>.
Being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like <code>+10</code> it could happen that for example the <code>BR-DISK</code> will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and if your <code>Minimum Custom Format Score</code> is set at <code>0</code>.</p>

<summary>Minimum Custom Format Score - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>Some people suggest not to use negative scores for your Custom Formats and set this option to a higher score then 0.</p>
<p>The reason why I don't prefer/use this is because you could limit yourself when some new groups or whatever will be released.</p>
<p>Also it makes it much more clear what you prefer and what you want to avoid.</p>
<summary>Audio Channels - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <code>Audio Advanced</code> Custom Formats.</p>

<detailsclass="tip">
<summary>Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">x265 (HD)</a> Custom Format.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Use x265 only for 4k releases and the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">x265 (HD)</a> makes sure you still get the x265 releases.</p>
