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).

**Q: Why do you only have a release profile for WEB-DL?**
A: I only do WEB-DL my self for TV shows because in my opinion WEB-DL is the sweet spot between Quality and Size and you often don't see big difference anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)

A: 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.

There's one scene group that does bring out quality releases `-deflate/-inflate`.
**Q: Why do I see that many Amazon WEB-DL's repacks/proper lately?**
**Q: Why do I see so many repacks/propers of Amazon WEB-DLs lately?**
A: A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last week 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 later or a few months, but when they get updated the episodes will be REPACKED.

**Q: Why did you remove all the scene groups?**
A: I decided to redo the Release Profile to make it easier for me and the end user to update/manage the Release Profile, I decided not to add the scene groups anymore (and also removing the current ones). Why? Lately I noticed a lot of popup scene releases meaning we need to update often.

With this it also means all scene and (yet) unknown groups will be getting a score of `0` and not `-50`.

First we're need to make sure a P2P release isn't being replaced by a Scene Repack/Proper release!

Probably doesn’t happen if cutoff is met, but for anything that is unmet or any forced searches it results in a loop because NF is not in Sonarr’s copy so it upgrades, and loops.
Enabling the include in preferred words for AMZN and adding that to the file name fixes that.
