### General Guidelines
- Custom Format name needs to match json name :bangbang:
- No hashcode can exists multiple times :bangbang:
- Tiers only hold release groups that have atleast done several dozen objectively high quality releases or are added for a specific reason. (If they do mainly niche stuff and/or foreign stuff they won't be added)
- All Tier Groups must use retail sources. Fanrest and upscaled groups are forbidden. This is due to the high effort required and near impossibility to guarantee quality systematically without manual check every single movie.
- JSON file format shall consist of the following TRaSH specific data appended to the json exported from Starr

1. If you have good indexers that get the nzb from the post, not generated, then you may want the Propagation delay set to 5 minutes (so you're not trying to grab an nzb right at posting). If you're not getting it from the same server as the poster used, you might wrongly have articles missing (since it hasn't necessarily propagated to your server yet) or if you use a reseller it may take them longer for them to get it from their upstream.
1. When it becomes clear during downloading that too much data is missing, abort the job to make sure Sonarr/Radarr gets the notification so it can look for another release.

1. This should be set to the default unless you know what you are doing. Suppose you have a decent size queue, for example, in that case, you have sab sort every 30s, which could cause spikes in CPU, let alone shuffling jobs around that may be in the middle of actions. If this results in the jobs' order moving to the front it could cause that job to take even longer to extract/stall while waiting for the next update; as with sab, by default, you only have 3 unpackers going simultaneously (configurable).
1. If your hardware isn't up to snuff, including cpu and/or io performance, disabling Direct Unpack and/or enabling Pause Downloading During Post-Processing can help. Defaults are fine for most hardware though.

1. This should be set off if you have decent internet. The amount of time spent to grab pars, if needed for verification/repair, is trivial to the time that a repair might run and fail to realize it needs more pars, and grab the next part, then retry.
1. It is your choice if you want to enable this option. It's usually an easy check and does provide benefits if the job doesn't have par2 files, as not every release has a par-set or SFV file. Generally speaking, if we're talking about scene releases, things should have both but this depends on how it's posted and how the indexer is generating the nzb. SFV is commonly used and a basic crc32 checksum is better not knowing if the file is good. Parsing an SFV file and checking the files' integrities takes very little resources. This may seem redundant given that par's checks would also handle this, however, the ease with which the check is done makes the downside almost non-existent.
1. Only unpack and run scripts on jobs that passed the verification stage. If turned off, all jobs will be marked as Completed even if they are incomplete.
1. Unpack archives (rar, zip, 7z) within archives.
1. This can help with subs that are in folders in the rar because sonarr/radarr don't look in sub-folders.

This guide is based on TrueNAS Core 13, a storage solution based on ZFS.

This does not cover jails or other virtualization means on the TrueNAS Core platform.

This guide assumes that you've already created a pool, which by default will contain a top-level dataset that was configured during the time of pool configuration. For the examples below, we'll be using a pool name of `tank`. Encryption is recommended on the pool (TrueNAS uses ZFS Encryption with AES-256-GCM in TrueNAS Core 13), but not required. TrueNAS Core allows for granularity in encrypting individual datasets if you don't want to encrypt at the top-level dataset and have it be inherited down to the other datasets.

TrueNAS Core defaults to `lz4` encryption as the compression level when creating a pool. This is fine for most workloads, and can be safely inherited down to other datasets under the top-level dataset. `ztsd` is currently the default in FreeBSD, however TrueNAS Core still defaults to `lz4`. Given that media files are not very compressible by nature, the only benefit that compression provides in this case is to supplementary files such as `.srt`, `.nfo`, etc.

Optionally, you can configure `Quota for this dataset` if you want to limit what the dataset displays and will accept in terms of capacity when it's mounted (i.e. setting this to `10 TiB` will show 10T as the capacity when mounted).

A remastered or mastered in 4K should give you usually the best picture and audio currently for the movie. Both are just names to describe the best possible current release of the movie.
To be clear, the final digital films on the Mastered in 4K Blu-rays still only have the same 1920 x 1080 pixels of actual resolution as normal Blu-rays. But the argument goes that because these full HD files were derived from higher-resolution masters, their images will be more precise, with better colors, less noise, and enhanced sharpness and detail. Not least because the higher-resolution mastering process will provide more detail from the original print for the Blu-ray masters to draw on when going through their (hopefully…) frame-by-frame compression process.
Another important element of the Mastered in 4K discs is that they’re all mastered with ‘x.v.YCC’ color specification. This delivers an expanded color range closer to that contained in original source material.

Another option is to use `{Original Title}` rather than the recommended naming scheme outlined above. `{Original Title}` will use the title of the release which will contain all of the information included in the release itself. The benefit of this naming scheme is to prevent download loops which can occur on import when there is a discrepancy in the release title compared to the contents of the file itself (for example, if the release title says DTS-ES but the contents are actually DTS). The downside is less flexibility with how the files are named.

??? tip "Proper and Repacks - [Click to show/hide]"
I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Sonarr
We also suggest changing 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/#repackproper) Custom Format.
- **{{ sonarr['cf']['br-disk']['name'] }} :** This is a custom format to help Sonarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.

- **{{ sonarr['cf']['upscaled']['name'] }}:** This custom format is used to prevent Sonarr from grabbing upscaled releases.
- **{{ sonarr['cf']['extras']['name'] }}:** This blocks/ignores extras
- **{{ sonarr['cf']['av1']['name'] }}:** This blocks all releases encoded in AV1.

- **{{ sonarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}:** This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265.
x265 is good for 4k stuff or 1080p if they used the remuxes as source.
x265 is good for 4k stuff or 1080p if they used the remuxes as the 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,
If you have more than a couple of users,
you will notice much more transcoding.
Just depends on your priorities.
So basically if you are storagepoor 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.
So basically if you are storage-poor and just need to save space, use x265.
The catch is if you want the best quality x265, you need high-quality source 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
#### Microsized & Wrong Source
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.

## FAQ
??? question "Why do i only see sizes starting from HDTV720p and up?"
- Watching content below 720p on a big screen can result in a blurry and pixelated image, making it difficult to see details and enjoy the true quality of the content. Additionally, lowerresolution videos may not fill the entire screen, leading to a less immersive viewing experience. Investing in higherquality content ensures that you are getting the best possible picture and sound quality for your viewing pleasure.
