+### Sonarr Release Profile RegEx
+
+(*the regex isn't mentioned anywhere, it's a hidden advanced feature*)
+
+------
+
+Sonarr V3 has a great feature called Release Profile.
+With this option you can fine tune your preference.
+
+The Release profile that we're going to use for this example is mainly to prefer P2P releases over Scene releases, (Scene releases are still being downloaded but upgraded)
+Why ?
+Scene release 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.
+And in my opinion the P2P are of better quality.
+Theirs 1 Scene releaser that do bring out quality releases `-deflate/-inflate` 
+
+First we're need to make sure a P2P release isn't being replaced by a Scene Repack/Proper release !

+
+Settings => `Media Management`
+Where we going to set it to `Do not Prefer`
+
+
+
+Then we navigate in Sonarr to the Settings =>  `Profiles`
+
+![](images/1571573554399.png)
+
+
+
+Then you will get a popup screen that will look like this =>
+
+![](images/1571573834508.png)
+
+`Must Contain` => add words that the release name **MUST HAVE** 
+
+`Must Not Contain` => add words that the release name **MUST HAVE AND SO TO BE IGNORE**
+
+`Preferred`=> add words you prefer with a certain score what you prefer more or upgrade.
+
+`Tags` => create a tag so this is only used by shows that you give this tag or else it's global.
+
+
+
+We're only to make use of options 2 and 3.
+The Number between the **[**brackets**]** are the scores the release name will get during a automatic and manual search and with the use of the scores some releases will be preferred over others and even upgraded.
+
+***Keep in mind this list will be a constant work in progress because I will be updating it when it's needed***
+***So best to set a notification for updates for this page.***

+# Must Not Contain
+/(x|h)\.?265/i
+
+# Preferred
+ [100]   /(amzn|amazon).?web.?dl/i
+  [90]   /(nf|netflix).?web.?dl/i
+  [90]   /(dsny|disney).?web.?dl/i
+  [80]   /(-deflate|-inflate)/i
+  [75]   /(hulu|.?hbo\.?)/i
+  [75]   /(red).?web.?dl/i
+  [75]   /(iT).?web.?dl/i
+
+  [50]   /(-BTN|-NTb|-NTG|-CasStudio|-QOQ|-KiNGS)/i

+ [-100]  /(TBS|-BRiNK|-CHX)/i
+```
+
+A little explanation of the scores and why,
+Scores [75]-[100] Release Source.
+Scores [25]-[50] P2P Groups.
+Scores [10] Give a repack/proper a higher score but don't trump P2P groups for a Scene fix.
+
+Scores [-25] Retagged/Renames/Obfuscated  releases.
+Scores [-50] Scene groups.
+Scores [-100] Groups that mess with the audio or add another preferred language.
+
+When you've done it correctly it will look something like this.
+
+![](images/1571578196710.png)
+
+Then the question why I put `/(x|h)\.?265/i` as `Must Not Contain`.
+Luckily someone else on Discord described it nice and correctly in my opinion.
+
+```
+x265 is good for 4k remuxes.
+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,
+you will notice much more transcoding.
+Just depends on your priorities.
+
+So basically if you are storage poor 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.
+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
+```
+
+So if you care less about quality then remove the part,
+or just don't use the list.
