Here I will try to collect a collection of the most needed and commonly used Custom Formats.
These have been collected from either discussions on discord or that I created with help from others.

Special thanks to [rg9400](https://github.com/rg9400), [bakerboy448](https://github.com/bakerboy448) and Team Radarr.
With Radarr V3, Custom Formats are much more advanced/powerful than with v0.2, although this also means a Custom Format is much more complicated to setup.
After requesting at Team Radarr we now have the options to import/export the Custom Formats in a JSON format that we can use here what makes it easier to share the different kind of Custom Formats.

Depending on your renaming scheme it could happen that Radarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,

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
