Here I will try to list 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.
Special thanks to everyone that helped testing and creating these Custom Formats.
With Sonarr V4+, Custom Formats are much more advanced/powerful than with the release profiles, although this also means a Custom Format is much more complicated to setup.
I also made 3 guides related to this one.
- [How to import Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Where I will try to explain how to import the Custom Formats.
- [How to upgrade Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-how-to-update-custom-formats){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Where I will try to explain how to upgrade your existing Custom Formats.

Depending on your renaming scheme it could happen that Sonarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,
This is a cosmetic annoyance until I come up with another way to solve this,
being that this Custom Format is used to not download BR-DISK it does its purpose as intended.
Several reasons why this is happening:
- Blame the often wrongly used naming of x265 encodes.
- Radarr v3/v4 uses dynamic custom formats.
- Sonarr v3/v4 uses dynamic custom formats.

### No-RlsGroup
### DV (WEBDL)
??? faq "No-RlsGroup - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
<sub>Dolby Vision = DoVi = DV</sub>
Some indexers strip out the release group which 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
??? faq "DV (WEBDL) - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
This is a special Custom Format that block WEBDLs **with** Dolby Vision but **without** HDR10 fallback.
!!! warning
This Custom Format works together with the normal [DV](#dv) Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.
If you don't use decent filenames (like not adding release groups) don't add this Custom Format, except if you want to upgrade them.
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.
Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.

# How to update Custom Formats
Here I will try to explain how you can manually update Custom Formats for Sonarr v3+, With any changes from the guide or changes provided to you from other sources, without losing the scoring in your Quality Profile.
!!! info "Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile.<br>Generally, quality trumps all"
## How to Copy/Paste the JSON
The manual way is almost the same as the Import Custom Format way found [HERE](/Sonarr/Sonarr-import-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
### In Sonarr
`Settings` => `Custom Formats`
![cf-settings-cf](images/cf-settings-cf.png)
### Open the Custom Format you want to update
![!Import To Update](images/cf-import-to-update.png)
### Paste the Custom Format
In the empty `Custom Format JSON` box (1) you just paste the `JSON` that you got from the [Custom Format Collection](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} or provided to you from other sources followed by the `Import` button (2).
![cf-import-cf](images/cf-import-cf.png)
### Save the Custom Format
After selecting the `Import` button you will get a screen that has all the Custom Format variables filled in correctly, all you need to do now is click on the `Save` button and you're done.

# How to import Custom Formats
Here I will try to explain how you can manually import Custom Formats for Sonarr v4+.
!!! info "Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile.<br>Generally, quality trumps all"
## How to Copy/Paste the JSON from the site
In this example I will use the [{{ sonarr['cf']['br-disk']['name'] }}](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format, the one most people don't want to download anyway. And if you do, then you probably don't use any of the Starr apps or Plex, being both don't support it.
Visit the [Collection of Custom Formats](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} and select [{{ sonarr['cf']['br-disk']['name'] }}](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} from the table.
![cf-table-select-brdisk](images/cf-table-select-brdisk.png)
### Expand the JSON for BR-DISK
![cf-json-expand](images/cf-json-expand.png)
Then click the copy icon in the top right corner
![cf-json-copy-paste](images/cf-json-copy-paste.png)
## How to import a JSON Custom Format
### In Sonarr
`Settings` => `Custom Formats`
![cf-settings-cf](images/cf-settings-cf.png)
### Add a new Custom Format
Then click on the ![cf-plus-add-small](images/cf-plus-add-small.png) to add a new Custom Format.
### Import the Custom Format
Followed by the `Import` in the lower left.
![cf-import](images/cf-import.png)
### Paste the Custom Format
Paste the `JSON` in the empty `Custom Format JSON` box (1) that you got from the [Custom Format Collection](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} followed by the `Import` button (2).

# How to setup Custom Formats
So what's the best way to setup the Custom Profiles and which one to use with which scores?
There isn't a best setup, being that everyone has their own personal preferences. Some prefer high quality audio, others high quality video. Many prefer both.
Here I will try to explain with some personal used examples how to make the most use of Custom Formats that you can use to get an idea how to setup yours.
--8<-- "includes/cf/score-attention.md"
------
## Basics
After you've added the Custom Formats, as explained in [How to import Custom Formats](/Sonarr/Sonarr-import-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
You will need to set it up in the quality Profile you want to use/prefer to make use of the Custom Formats.
`Settings` => `Profiles`
![!cf-settings-profiles](images/cf-settings-profiles.png)
!!! info "Sonarr Custom Formats can be set per profile and isn't global"
Select the profile that you want to use/prefer.
![!cf-quality-profiles](images/cf-quality-profiles.png)
![!cf-profile-selected](images/cf-profile-selected.png)
1. Profile name.
1. Allow upgrades. Sonarr will stop upgrading quality once (3) is met.
1. Upgrade until the selected quality.
1. The `Minimum Custom Format Score` allowed to download. [More Info](#minimum-custom-format-score)
1. Keep upgrading Custom Format until this score is reached. (setting this to `0` means no upgrades will happen based on Custom Formats)
At the bottom in your chosen profile you will see the added Custom Formats where you can start setting up the scores.
??? check "Screenshot example - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
![!cf-quality-profile-cf](images/cf-quality-profile-cf.png)
!!! attention
These screenshots are just examples to show you how it should look and where you need to place the data that you need to add, they aren't always a 100% reflection of the actual data and not always 100% up to date with the actual data you need to add.
- Always follow the data described in the guide.
- If you got any questions or aren't sure just click the chat badge to join the Discord Channel where you can ask your questions directly.
!!! info "Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile.<br>Generally, quality trumps all"
Custom formats are controlled by Quality Profiles.
- The Upgrade Until score prevents upgrading once a release with this desired score has been downloaded.
- A score of 0 results in the custom format being informational only.
- The Minimum score requires releases to reach this threshold otherwise they will be rejected.
- Custom formats that match with undesirable attributes should be given a negative score to lower their appeal.
- 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.

### Releases you should avoid
This is a must have for every Quality Profile you use in my opinion. All these Custom Formats make sure you don't get Low Quality Releases.

#### Prefer HDR Metadata
Lets say you prefer HDR metadata (HDR or Dolby Vision or Both)
Then we would use the following order:

#### WEBDL-1080p
If you prefer 720p/1080p WEBDL (WEB-1080p)
I suggest to first follow the [Quality Settings (File Size)](/Sonarr/Sonarr-Quality-Settings-File-Size/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
If you think the sizes are too big to your preference then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful to you. :bangbang:
For this Quality Profile we're going to make use of the following Custom Formats
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-unwanted.md" !}
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-misc.md" !}
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-streaming-services.md" !}
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-hq-source-group.md" !}
Use the following main settings in your profile.
![!cf-profile-web1080](images/cf-profile-web1080.png)
!!! info ""
For some older shows you might want to enable the `WEB 720p` or even the `HDTV 1080p`.
!!! example "The following workflow will be applied:"
- It will download WEB-DL 1080p. (If you also enabled `WEB 720p` and/or `HDTV 1080p` it will upgrade till `Upgrade Until`)
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of 10000.
So why such a ridiculously high `Upgrade Until Custom` and not a score of `500`?
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.
------
#### WEBDL-2160p
If you prefer 2160p WEBDL (WEB-2160p)
I suggest to first follow the [Quality Settings (File Size)](/Sonarr/Sonarr-Quality-Settings-File-Size/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
If you think the sizes are too big to your preference then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful to you. :bangbang:
For this Quality Profile we're going to make use of the following Custom Formats
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-hdr-metadata.md" !}

{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-misc.md" !}
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-streaming-services.md" !}
{! include-markdown "../../includes/cf/sonarr-hq-source-group.md" !}
Use the following main settings in your profile.
![!cf-profile-web2160](images/cf-profile-web2160.png)
!!! info ""
The reason why I have WEB 1080p merged with the 2160p is because some NF releases won't be released as 4k, but I still want to have DV/HDR releases.
If you want to do the same make sure you replace [x265 (HD)](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} with [x265 (no HDR/DV)](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-no-hdrdv){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
!!! example "The following workflow will be applied:"
- It will download WEB-1080p with HDR/DV.
- It will upgrade to WEB-2160p when available.
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of 10000.
So why such a ridiculously high `Upgrade Until Custom` and not a score of `500`?
Because I'm too lazy to calculate the maxim

## FAQ & INFO
### Proper and Repacks
??? tip "Proper and Repacks - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Sonarr
`Media Management` => `File Management` to `Do Not Prefer` and use the [Repack/Proper](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#repack-proper) Custom Format.
![!cf-mm-propers-repacks-disable](images/cf-mm-propers-repacks-disable.png)
This way you make sure the Custom Format preferences will be used instead.
### Custom Formats to avoid certain releases
??? FAQ "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`.
### Custom Formats with a score of 0
??? FAQ "What do Custom Formats with a score of 0 do? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
All Custom Formats with a score of 0 are pure informational and don't do anything.
### Minimum Custom Format Score
??? info "Minimum Custom Format Score - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
Some people suggest not to use negative scores for your Custom Formats and set this option to a higher score then 0.
The reason why I don't prefer/use this is because you could limit yourself when some new groups or whatever will be released.
Also it makes it much more clear what you prefer and what you want to avoid.
### Audio Channels
??? info "Audio Channels - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
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.
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 `Audio Advanced` Custom Formats.
### Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format
??? tip "Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the [{{ sonarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format.
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.
Use x265 only for 4k releases and the [{{ sonarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} makes sure you still get the x265 releases.
## Thanks
Special thanks to everyone that helped testing and creating these Custom Formats.

This Custom Format works together with the normal DV Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.

Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.
