<p>So what is the best way to set up the Custom Formats 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>Regarding quality 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.</p>
<p>TRaSH created a <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-setup-custom-formats/#which-quality-profile-should-you-choose"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">flowchart</a> to make your decision/choices easier. Remember that this chart does not include any of the following Custom Formats and you will still need to read this guide to get MULTi releases.</p>
<p>It is quite important that you follow and understand what is envisioned by Trash's guide:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding Custom Formats, as explained in <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats/"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">How to import Custom Formats</a>.</li>
<li>Setting up a quality Profile to make use of the Custom Formats, as explained in <ahref="/Radarr/radarr-setup-quality-profiles/#basics"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">How to set up Quality Profiles | Basics section</a>.</li>
<p>The only change that is needed and <strong>mandatory</strong> for French Custom Formats to work is to set the preferred language profile for your releases to <code>Any</code>.</p>
<p>We do choose <code>Any</code> for the language profile, as otherwise an English movie identified with French audio in Radarr will not be grabbed and vice-versa.</p>

<li>Add the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#vostfr">VOSTFR</a> Custom Format with a score of <code>1000</code>.</li>
<p>There are two ways of using those French Custom Formats, with and without the Guide's original Group tiers (which can be found here: <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">Collection of Custom Formats</a>).
To illustrate this, you will see an <strong>"Original mix (optional)"</strong> section in each of the examples below. You need to understand that if you add the Custom Formats from this optional section if Radarr does not find a MULTi you will still have a good scoring for single audio.</p>
<p>If you use the <strong>"Original mix (optional)"</strong>. You need to understand that even if in the beginning the main focus of those French Custom Formats is to work alongside the original ones.
You could end up with a single audio release when a MULTi release exists. This is because it was not scored high enough to trump the other scoring.</p>
<p>All the used scores and combinations of Custom Formats in this Guide are tested to get the desired results while preventing download loops as much as possible.</p>
<p>From experience, most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CFs 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>
<li>You prefer VFF (including VFI and VF2) audio, in this case, you will put them at <code>101</code> instead of <code>0</code>.</li>
<li>You only want VOSTFR, in this case, you will ignore any mention of <strong>MULTi Custom Formats</strong> and give the <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#vostfr">VOSTFR</a> Custom Format a score of <code>1000</code>.</li>
<p>It is not recommended to put any of the VF Custom Formats (VFF, VFQ, VQ, VFB, VFI, VF2) to a negative score. Instead, increase the score of your preferred audio.</p>

<ul>
<li><em>[1] VF is included under the VFQ Custom Format, but it should be noted that it was often mismatched with VFF instead of VFQ pre-2022.</em></li>
<li><em>[2] It should be noted that SUBFRENCH is included in this Custom Format. However, SUB often means that the subtitle was embedded inside the picture (hardcoded). French releases tend to mix the two, leading to some VOSTFR being labelled as SUBFRENCH and SUBFRENCH as VOSTFR.</em></li>
<p>Some Indexers in <strong>Prowlarr</strong> can rename <code>MULTi</code> releases to <code>MULTi.TRUEFRENCH</code> or <code>MULTi.FRENCH</code>. It is not recommend to use such a feature along with those Custom Formats as it can lead to false positives from the VFF, VFQ and VQ Custom Formats.</p>
<p>Some Indexers in <strong>Radarr</strong> will let you choose which audio is normally included inside a <code>MULTi</code> release as an option. You should choose only <code>Original</code> and <code>French</code> if you decide to use it.
This option should only be used for French indexers where you are sure that <code>MULTi</code> does include both <code>Original</code> and <code>French</code> audio. Doing so in more "international" indexers can create to false positive with the French Audio CFs.</p>

<li><strong>Scene:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.</li>
<li>The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of <code>0</code> is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred.</li>
<li><code>BCore</code>, <code>CRiT</code> and <code>MA</code> are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.</li>
<p><code>Audio Advanced</code> Custom Formats are not included in the encode's profile, as you will hardly find HD audio with HD Bluray Encodes. With HD Bluray Encodes it is suggested to go for quality. If you also want HD audio formats you should go for the Remuxes or UHD Encodes.</p>
<p>The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.</p>
<p>Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.</p>
<ul>
<li>Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.</li>

<divclass="admonition warning">
<pclass="admonition-title">Information regarding HD audio</p>
<p>It should be noted that many problems can arise from this profile if you use the HD audio Custom Formats, as:</p>
<ul>
<li>French Scene rules assert that the French audio should be the first (default) audio in a MULTi release.</li>
<li>The rules state that only the best audio (whether original or FR) should be mentioned in the title.</li>
<li>Some movies (and TV shows, mostly from the pre-streaming era) lack an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio's highest one.</li>
</ul>
<p>Resulting in the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The quality of the audio in the release's title could not be the French one.</li>
<li>The French audio could be of lesser quality than the titled one.</li>
<li>Radarr will only score pre-import audio by the release title. Post-import by the release's first (default) audio (after ffprobe).</li>
<li>The final score for the release can be lower than the pre-import.</li>
</ul>
<divclass="admonition tip">
<pclass="admonition-title">Tip</p>
<p>This is why the Group tiers exist; it tries to get hold of the groups that tend to get the best original and French audio for a release. However, it is not infallible, and, once again, a movie may not have an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio's highest one.</p>
<li>Passthrough: The preferred method if you have an audio setup (AVR/Soundbar). This mode will send the audio signals without any alteration or processing.</li>
<li>Direct Play: The client supports the container, video stream, and audio stream natively. The Plex server simply sends the media file as-is to the client. This uses very little CPU power.</li>
<li>Transcode: The client does not support the video stream and/or the audio stream. The Plex server re-encodes the video, audio, or both into a compatible format. Transcoding video uses a lot of CPU power, but transcoding audio uses little to moderate CPU power.</li>
<li>Decodes: Decompresses the audio before sending it to your AVR/Soundbar.</li>

<ul>
<li>No. Since LPCM is a lossless format, using it will result in no loss of quality. What your ears hear will be exactly the same. The only difference is your receiver will recognize the audio stream as PCM instead of Dolby/DTS.</li>

<p>If you have chosen a profile that includes Audio Formats, it's somewhat pointless to lower the scores or block certain audio formats since 95% of the Remuxes and UHD Encodes provide HD audio formats such as TrueHD Atmos, TrueHD, and DTS-X.</p>
<p>So you have 2 options.</p>
<ol>
<li>Choose another quality profile that doesn't include audio formats such as <code>HD Bluray + WEB</code> or <code>2160p WEB-DL</code>.</li>

<summary>Why am I getting purple or green colors? - [Click to show/hide]</summary>
<p>Why am I getting purple or green colors?</p>
<p>There are several possible reasons why your TV would show purple or green colors when playing Dolby Vision content.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Unsupported Hardware</strong>: Your TV or hardware media player device (Roku, AppleTV, etc) doesn't support Dolby Vision or your hardware media player device doesn't support all the Dolby Vision Profiles. As a result, the device might struggle to produce accurate colors, leading to a purple or green tint.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Incorrect Display Settings</strong>: Dolby Vision content often requires specific settings to be enabled on your TV or display device in order to deliver the intended visual experience. If these settings are not configured properly, it can result in the device showing distorted colors (including purple or green hues).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>HDMI Compatibility Issues</strong>: Sometimes, HDMI cables or ports may not be fully compatible with Dolby Vision. If the media player device is not recognizing the Dolby Vision signal properly, it may fail to process the content correctly, resulting in abnormal color rendering.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>To resolve the purple or green color issues when playing Dolby Vision content, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ensure your TV or hardware media player device is Dolby Vision compatible and up-to-date with the latest firmware.</li>
<li>Verify that your TV or display device is set up correctly and has the necessary Dolby Vision settings enabled.</li>
<li>Check the HDMI cables and ensure they are capable of transmitting Dolby Vision signals.</li>

<p>It should be noted that many problems can arise from this profile if you use the HD audio Custom Formats, as:</p>
<ul>
<li>French Scene rules assert that the French audio should be the first (default) audio in a MULTi release.</li>
<li>The rules state that only the best audio (whether original or FR) should be mentioned in the title.</li>

<ul>
<li>The quality of the audio in the release's title could not be the French one.</li>
<li>The French audio could be of lesser quality than the titled one.</li>
<li>Radarr will only score pre-import audio by the release title. Post-import by the release's first (default) audio (after ffprobe).</li>

<p>Why am I getting purple or green colors?</p>
<p>There are several possible reasons why your TV would show purple or green colors when playing Dolby Vision content.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Unsupported Hardware</strong>: Your TV or hardware media player device (Roku, AppleTV, etc) doesn't support Dolby Vision or your hardware media player device doesn't support all the Dolby Vision Profiles. As a result, the device might struggle to produce accurate colors, leading to a purple or green tint.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Incorrect Display Settings</strong>: Dolby Vision content often requires specific settings to be enabled on your TV or display device in order to deliver the intended visual experience. If these settings are not configured properly, it can result in the device showing distorted colors (including purple or green hues).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>HDMI Compatibility Issues</strong>: Sometimes, HDMI cables or ports may not be fully compatible with Dolby Vision. If the media player device is not recognizing the Dolby Vision signal properly, it may fail to process the content correctly, resulting in abnormal color rendering.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>To resolve the purple or green color issues when playing Dolby Vision content, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ensure your TV or hardware media player device is Dolby Vision compatible and up-to-date with the latest firmware.</li>
<li>Verify that your TV or display device is set up correctly and has the necessary Dolby Vision settings enabled.</li>
<li>Check the HDMI cables and ensure they are capable of transmitting Dolby Vision signals.</li>

<li><strong>Bad Dual Groups:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It's a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese.</li>
<li><strong>EVO (no WEBDL):</strong> This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.</li>
<li><strong>No-RlsGroup:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as "upgrades" and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.</li>
<li><strong>Obfuscated:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.</li>
<li><strong>Retags:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group's release.</li>
<li><strong>Scene:</strong> [<em>Optional</em>] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.</li>
<li>The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of <code>0</code> is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred.</li>
<li><code>BCore</code>, <code>CRiT</code> and <code>MA</code> are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.</li>

<p>The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.</p>
<p>Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.</p>
