The regex isn't mentioned anywhere, it's a hidden advanced feature
Sonarr V3 has a great feature called Release Profile.
With this option you can fine tune your preference.
The Release profile that we're going to use for this example is mainly to prefer P2P releases over Scene releases, (Scene releases are still being downloaded but upgraded).

**If you don't care about quality then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful for you.**
A: I only do WEB-DL my self for TV shows because in my opinion WEB-DL is the sweet spot between Quality and Size and you often don't see big difference anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)
A: I decided to redo the Release Profile to make it easier for me and the end user to update/manage the Release Profile, I decided not to add the scene groups anymore (and also removing the current ones). Why ? Lately I noticed a lot of popup scene releases meaning we need to update often.
I will still keep a eye on them and add the Low Quality Groups to the `-100` score and when I find a new P2P group I will add them, resulting in less updates and a more accurate upgrade.
`Must Contain` => add words that the release name **MUST HAVE!**
`Must Not Contain` => add words that the release name **MUST NOT HAVE AND SO TO BE IGNORE!**
`Preferred` => add words you prefer with a certain score what you prefer more or upgrade.
`Include Preferred when Renaming` => When you add `{Preferred Words}` to your renaming scheme it will add this info.
`Indexers` => Specify what indexer the profile applies to.
`Tags` => create a tag so this is only used by shows that you give this tag or else it's global.
The Number between the **[**brackets**]** are the scores the release name will get during a automatic and manual search and with the use of the scores some releases will be preferred over others and even upgraded.
Also check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming` and add `{Preferred Words}` to your renaming scheme when you get download loop issues!!!
What it does:
When enabled the block with the [Release Source (Streaming Service)](#release-source-streaming-service) in it are then added to the file name which fixes any loops due to Sonarr seeing a new NF rip when an AMZN rip is found.
Probably doesn’t happen if cutoff is met, but for anything that is unmet or any forced searches it results in a loop because NF is not in Sonarr’s copy so it upgrades, and loops.
Enabling the include in preferred words for AMZN and adding that to the file name fixes that.

It blocks/ignores 720/1080p releases that are encoded in x265, why ?
!!! quote
x265 is good for for 4k stuff or 1080p if they used the the remuxes as source.
If the media isn't source quality/remux, then there will be a loss of quality every time.
Also, once you go x265, typically that file is done.
It can't be changed to something else without a huge loss of quality.
Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support.
If you have more than a couple users,
you will notice much more transcoding.
Just depends on your priorities.
So basically if you are storage poor and just need to save space, use x265.
The catch is if you want best quality x265, you need source quality files, so you still have huge file sizes.
If you want maximum compatibility and the option to change your files to something else later,
then x264.
It's all really dependent on specific situations for different people
It's a shame that most x265 groups microsize the releases or use the x264 as source what results in low quality releases. And the few groups that do use the correct source suffer from it.
Add this to your `Preferred (3)` with a score of [180]
The reason why this one get's such a high score is because it's the only quality scene group that exist (till now) and scene groups don't add the [Release Sources (Streaming Service)](#release-sources-streaming-service) to their release name so they don't get the extra point of the release source regex.

create a new release profile specific for .su that uses the [Season regex](#optional-matches-season-packs-use-this-if-you-prefer-season-packs) as `Must not contain (2)`
Theirs a [script](/NZBGet/scripts/#wtfnzb-renamer){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} for NZBGet that sometimes could help but it seems it doesn't always work. It also seems theirs a work around for SABnzbd but i can't confirm being i'm not using Sab.
This is a RegEx that ignores DV for WEB-DL but allows for other sources. WEB-DL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR(10), What can results in weird playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not DoVi compatible setup. Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR(10).
Optional => We've tested it and it worked for what we've tested it on, if it will work in your situation we don't know if you notice something wrong just contact me and we will try to fix it or remove it.
The reason why I got multiple entry's with the same score is because the line will go out of the box and I don't like how that looks.
## Final Results
When you've done it correctly it will look something like this.
