Prefer HDR Formats

-

Lets say you prefer HDR Formats (HDR or Dolby Vision or Both)

-

Then we would use the following order:

- +
-HDR Formats - [CLICK TO EXPAND] - -
-

Dolby Vision is available in several profiles

-
    -
  • Profile 5 - This is what comes with WEB-DL Dolby Vision release without HDR10 fallback.
    On a AppleTV, these do not reliably play with the Plex app but will work better with the third-party Infuse app. MP4 files tend to work better than MKV files, obviously MKV is preferable because of its support for lossless audio. (Incompatible devices will playback with blown out pinks and greens)
    • -
  • Profile 7 - This is what comes with HD Bluray Remuxes.
    These files will play on an Nvidia Shield (2019), but on most other players will revert to the HDR10 fallback.
    • -
  • Profile 8 - This is what comes with (Hybrid) WEB-DL releases (HULU), Hybrid UHD Remux and UHD BluRay releases - all of which have HDR10 fallback.
    This works with several mainstream media players,
    but the AppleTV can only play the HDR10 fallback. (although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV).
    • -
-

Meaning: Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7/8.

    FAQ & INFO

    -

    Why only WEB-DL

    -
    -Why do you only have a release profile for WEB-DL - [CLICK TO EXPAND] -

    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 differences anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)

    -
    -

    Why prefer P2P groups

    -
    -Why do you prefer P2P groups over scene groups - [CLICK TO EXPAND] -

    Scene groups always release in a rush to bring it out as fast as possible.

    -

    So I noticed often that I got Repacks/Proper releases from them or from different groups and quality. P2P releases are a bit smarter and work sort of together by not doing the same release. Also, I noticed that with some scene releases the 5.1 audio was stripped out or converted to AAC audio.

    -

    In my opinion the P2P releases are of better quality. There's one scene group that does bring out quality releases -deflate/-inflate.

    -
    -

    Why so many repacks/propers

    -
    -Why do I see so many repacks/propers of Amazon WEB-DLs lately - [CLICK TO EXPAND] -

    A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last week have only had 192Kbps DD+5.1, because that's all Amazon made available initially. The proper 640Kbps DD+5.1 audio might appear a few hours later or a few months, but when they get updated, the episodes will be REPACKED.

    -How to use a Custom Format to avoid certain releases? - [CLICK TO EXPAND] -

    For Custom Formats you really want to avoid, set it to something really low like -10000 and not something like -10. -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.

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

    +

    So why such a ridiculously high Upgrade Until Custom and not a score of 100?

    +

    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.

    Attention

    +

    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.

    From experience most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CF that work together they end up with undesired results.

    Dolby Vision is available in several profiles

    +
      +
    • Profile 5 - This is what comes with WEB-DL Dolby Vision release without HDR10 fallback.
      On a AppleTV, these do not reliably play with the Plex app but will work better with the third-party Infuse app. MP4 files tend to work better than MKV files, obviously MKV is preferable because of its support for lossless audio. (Incompatible devices will playback with blown out pinks and greens)
      • +
    • Profile 7 - This is what comes with HD Bluray Remuxes.
      These files will play on an Nvidia Shield (2019), but on most other players will revert to the HDR10 fallback.
      • +
    • Profile 8 - This is what comes with (Hybrid) WEB-DL releases (HULU), Hybrid UHD Remux and UHD BluRay releases - all of which have HDR10 fallback.
      This works with several mainstream media players,
      but the AppleTV can only play the HDR10 fallback. (although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV).
      • +
    +

    Meaning: Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7/8.

    FAQ & INFO

    +

    Why only WEB-DL

    +
    +Why do you only have a release profile for WEB-DL - [CLICK TO EXPAND] +

    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 differences anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)

    +
    +

    Why prefer P2P groups

    +
    +Why do you prefer P2P groups over scene groups - [CLICK TO EXPAND] +

    Scene groups always release in a rush to bring it out as fast as possible.

    +

    So I noticed often that I got Repacks/Proper releases from them or from different groups and quality. P2P releases are a bit smarter and work sort of together by not doing the same release. Also, I noticed that with some scene releases the 5.1 audio was stripped out or converted to AAC audio.

    +

    In my opinion the P2P releases are of better quality. There's one scene group that does bring out quality releases -deflate/-inflate.

    +
    +

    Why so many repacks/propers

    +
    +Why do I see so many repacks/propers of Amazon WEB-DLs lately - [CLICK TO EXPAND] +

    A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last week have only had 192Kbps DD+5.1, because that's all Amazon made available initially. The proper 640Kbps DD+5.1 audio might appear a few hours later or a few months, but when they get updated, the episodes will be REPACKED.
