<li>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.</li>

<li>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).</li>
<li>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.</li>

<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>

<p>This guide is based on TrueNAS Core 13, a storage solution based on ZFS. While there are more similarities than differences between Core and Scale in terms of creating datasets, this guide explicitly covers dataset, share, and basic permission setup in order to provide a place for creating and accessing the recommended folder structure. This does not cover jails or other virtualization means on the TrueNAS Core platform.</p>
<p>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 <code>tank</code>. 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.</p>
<p>TrueNAS Core defaults to <code>lz4</code> 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. <code>ztsd</code> is currently the default in FreeBSD, however TrueNAS Core still defaults to <code>lz4</code>. 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 <code>.srt</code>, <code>.nfo</code>, etc.</p>

Set <code>Enable Atime</code> to <code>off</code> and <code>Record Size</code> to <code>1M</code>. This provides a performance increase on a dataset that will primarily be handling media files. Optionally, you can configure <code>Quota for this dataset</code> 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 <code>10 TiB</code> will show 10T as the capacity when mounted).</p>

<p>We'll need to create a shared group so that we can ensure proper access when mounting, and to avoid ending up with <code>nobody</code> as the group name when mounting over NFS.

<p>You'll arrive at a simple configuration screen like the one shown below. Set your <code>GID</code> that you plan to use, and name the group. In this example I'm using a <code>GID</code> of <code>1215</code> and a group name of <code>dockermedia</code>.

<p>We'll need to create a user (or users if you're using individual user accounts per service) on TrueNAS that matches the user and UID of the user you'll be mounting your share with. It's important that these match since we're not using the <code>Mapall</code> function that exist under the NFS Share options.</p>

<p>Navigate to Accounts -> Users, and click <code>Add</code> at the top right.</p>
<p>You'll arrive at a configuration screen like the one shown below. Fill out <code>Full Name</code> and <code>Username</code> with the desired username, and set your <code>User ID</code> that you plan to use.</p>
<p>You'll need to uncheck <code>New Primary Group</code> so you can manually populate <code>Primary Group</code> with the shared group you created in the previous step.

<p>At the bottom, you have a couple of options. You can either specify <code>Authorized Networks</code> for more broad access, or authorize specific hosts (my preferred method).

<p>Follow standard mounting procedures for your operating system/device. In Ubuntu mounting a NFS share is as simple as adding it to <code>/etc/fstab</code> with <code><host>:/mnt/tank/Media /mnt/data nfs defaults,_netdev,rw 0 0</code>, and issuing <code>mount -a</code> (or rebooting).</p>
<p>Regardless of method, make sure that the device ends up with a <code>data</code> mount point. The mount point is important since it will allow us to follow the usual guide for folder structure.

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>So what is the best way to set up the Custom Formats and which one to use with which scores to get French and English Audio?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that most releases are MULTi (understand DUAL audio, original and French audio) and it will be difficult to only have French audio, unless you are willing to get 720p, or you are only looking for French movies.</p>
<p>Regarding quality there isn't a best setup, it depends on your setup (hardware devices) and your own personal preferences.</p>
<p>Some prefer high quality audio (HD Audio), others high quality video. Many prefer both.</p>

<p>Another option is to use <code>{Original Title}</code> rather than the recommended naming scheme outlined above. <code>{Original Title}</code> 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.</p>
<p>If using this alternate naming scheme I suggest using <code>{Original Title}</code> over <code>{Original Filename}</code></p>

<p>Regarding quality there isn't a best setup, it depends on your setup (hardware devices) and your own personal preferences.</p>

<summary>Why do you prefer P2P groups over scene groups - [Click to show/hide]</summary>
<p>Scene groups are always in a rush to bring releases out as fast as possible.</p>
<p>I noticed, often, that I got Repacks/Propers from them, or of different groups and quality. P2P release groups are a bit smarter, and sort of work together, by not doing the same releases. Also, I noticed that with some scene releases the 5.1 audio was stripped out or converted to AAC audio.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the P2P releases are better quality. However, there is one scene group that does bring out quality releases <code>-deflate</code>/<code>-inflate</code>.</p>

<summary>Why do we see so many repacks/propers of Amazon WEB-DLs lately - [Click to show/hide]</summary>
<p>A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last weeks 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, or a few months, later. The lower quality release will be REPACKED when the higher quality audio is available.</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the guide, you will find a separate group of custom formats called <code>Audio Channels</code>. These will match the number of audio channels in a release, for example, 2.0 (stereo) or 5.1/7.1 (surround sound).

<p>When I started using Sonarr/Radarr, I noticed that it didn't grab the releases that I wanted (I'm a bit picky about which releases and what quality I prefer).
I decided to fine-tune my quality profile settings to try and get the releases and qualities I preferred. While on Discord, I noticed that others ran into the same issue, so I explained how I managed to solve this. Once I started having to explain more often, I decided to write it down and make it public so I could easily link to it when needed.
After a while I <em>also</em> decided to create guides for frequently asked questions and started to collect all kinds of information gathered from various sources.
