Before updating to Sonarr v4 it is recommended that you delete any existing Release Profiles - - - -Release Profile RegEx (Anime) - -Note -This guide is created and maintained by Visorask/Visorak -It's recommended to run two Sonarr instances. One for Anime and one for normal tv shows, or you can make use of tags. -Being that release profiles are global without the use of a tag. - -Dual-Audio Regex -Having tested most of these settings, they work pretty well, but Anime is a fickle beast to toy with so be warned. - -Anime Delete - -If you have issues with extra files being downloaded like NCED or NCOP -If you have issues with Sonarr picking up a bunch of: - -NCED -NCOP -Music Videos -OP's - -Then this script (linux based only) will delete these files and get rid of them and you don't have to worry about them cluttering up your Auto or Manual import process. -#!/usr/bin/env bash - -# Set the following location to your completed download location for Anime. -# Usually one of the following paths: -# Dockers => /data/{usenet|torrents}/anime -# Cloudbox => /mnt/local/downloads/nzbs/nzbget/completed/sonarranime -location="/your/download/path/here" - -find $location -type f \( -iname "*op[0-9]*" -o -iname "*nced*" -o -iname "*ncop*" -o -iname "*music video*" \) -exec rm -rf {} \; - -This script will be called through a custom connection in Sonarr. - -Copy the contents of the script into whatever filepath Sonarr has access to (/config/app/ or /appdata/sonarr/scripts) -Edit the location="/your/download/path/here" and make sure it's in quotes. -Then save it and chmod +x the script. -In Sonarr go to Settings => Connect => Click on the + Symbol => and select Custom Script -Change Name to whatever you like. -Select On Grab and On Import. -Click the Folder icon or type in the path to the script you chose earlier. - - -Now when you download or import any files the script will run and clear out those files that you most likely won't use and if you want them well this script isn't for you. - - -Media Management - -Note -There are a few settings which make life a lot easier when tracking down and keeping certain information for your Anime and with tweaks to make it work better with HamaAgent for Plex. - -Suggested naming scheme -For this I used the Sonarr Recommended naming scheme with only a small change for a formatting error to be fixed and the Series Folder Format for easier matching. -Anime Episode Format -Has all necessary information and a little extra if you needed to rebuild. -{Series TitleYear} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {absolute:000} - {Episode CleanTitle} [{Preferred Words }{Quality Full}]{[MediaInfo VideoDynamicRange]}[{MediaInfo VideoBitDepth}bit]{[MediaInfo VideoCodec]}[{Mediainfo AudioCodec} { Mediainfo AudioChannels}]{MediaInfo AudioLanguages}{-Release Group} - - -RESULTS: -Single Episode: -The Series Title!

If you do not want uncensored set it to -10000. If you don't care either way just leave it out. The reasoning behind only 100 is so that it doesn't trump other release further up in the chain, this way it will trump maybe a couple releases, but not more. And -10000 to hopefully put it at the bottom of any tier list if you don't want it. -/(uncut|unrated|uncensored|\b(AT[-_. ]?X)\b)/i - - -Note -When done it should look something like this: - - - -Second Release Profile - - -Warning -DO NOT Check mark Include Preferred when Renaming - - -Must Not Contain -The reason most of these are added is due to their shitty quality or just in general are not as good as other stuff that is out there.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Sonarr v3 - End Of LifeAs of December 30th 2023, Sonarr v4 has been officially released.Sonarr v3 is therefore in End of Life status.As v4 has now been released, there will be no further updates to the Sonarr v3 guide.We recommend that all users upgrade to Sonarr v4.This Sonarr v3 guide will be removed in a future guides update. Before updating to Sonarr v4 it is recommended that you delete any existing Release Profiles - - - -Release Profile RegEx (WEB-DL) -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 replaced once an upgrade is found.) - -If you don't care about quality then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful for you. - - -FAQ - [Click to show/hide] -FAQ -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 differences anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc) -Q: Why do you prefer P2P groups over scene groups? -A: Scene groups 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. -In my opinion the P2P releases are of better quality. -There's one scene group that does bring out quality releases -deflate/-inflate. -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. -I will still keep a eye on them and add the Low Quality Groups to the -100 score and when I find a new P2P group I will add them, resulting in less updates and a more accurate upgrade. - - -Basics -This guide is based on WEBDL (Read the FAQ why) that's why we're going to create a quality profile based on WEBDL. -Settings => Profiles - -Select the profile that you want to use/prefer. - - - -Tip -Starting from 2010 you will be able to find almost anything as WEBDL, -2000-2010 you will only find a few shows as WEBDL in that case you might want to enable HDTV and or 720p. -If you want 2160p WEBDL then choose 2160p WEBDL and add the HDR and/or DV regex, 2160p without HDR/DV has no real benefits !!! - - - -Sonarr current logic - -Sonarr current logic - [Click to show/hide] -As of 2021-11-06 the logic is as follows: -The Current logic on how downloads are compared is Quality Trumps All - -Quality -Language -Preferred Word Score -Protocol -Episode Count -Episode Number -Indexer Priority -Seeds/Peers (If Torrent) -Age (If Usenet) -Size - -Source: Wiki Servarr - -REPACKS and PROPERs are v2 of Qualities and thus rank above a non-repack of the same quality. -Settings => Media Management => File Management => Proper & Repacks Change to Do Not Prefer and use a preferred word regex of /\b(repack|proper)\b/i - - - - - -Propers and Repacks -First we're need to make sure a P2P release isn't being replaced by a Scene Repack/Proper release! - -Go to Settings => Media Management -We´re going to set it to Do not Prefer. -Then we navigate to Settings => Profiles and click the plus sign. - -You will get a popup screen that will look like this: - - - -Must Contain => add words that the release name MUST HAVE! - - -Must Not Contain => add words that the release name MUST NOT HAVE OR IT WILL BE REJECTED! - - -Preferred => add words you prefer with a certain score. The release will be preferred based on each term's score. - - -Include Preferred when Renaming => When you add {Preferred Words} to your renaming scheme it will add this info. - - -Indexers => Specify what indexer the profile applies to. - - -Tags => create a tag so this is only used by shows that you give this tag to or else it's global. - - - - -Info -The Number between the [brackets] in the following release profiles are the scores the release name will get during an automatic and manual search and with the use of the scores some releases will be preferred over others and even upgraded. -The Number between (brackets) in the following release profiles are referring to the location where you should add this regex in the release profile corresponding the screenshot above. - - -We're going to make use of four separate release profiles. - - -Profile 1 - - -Release Sources (Streaming Service) - -Note -Check mark Include Preferred when Renaming and add {Preferred Words} to your renaming scheme or else you could get download loop issues!!! -What it does: -When enabled, the block with the Release Source (Streaming Service) in it are then added to the file name which fixes any loops due to Sonarr seeing a new NF rip when an AMZN rip is found. -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. -Example of a naming scheme for series: -Can be found HERE -

-Quote -x265 is good for for 4k stuff or 1080p if they used the the remuxes as 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, -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 - -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. -That's why I created my own golden rule. - -720/1080p => x264 -2160p/4k => x265 - - -Add this to your Must not contain (2) -/^(?=.*(1080|720))(?=.*((x|h)[ ._-]?265|hevc)).*/i - - -example - [Click to show/hide] - - - -Optional - Prefer HDR -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [500] -/\bHDR(\b|\d)/i - - -Optional - Prefer Dolby Vision -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [1500] -/\b(dv|dovi|dolby[ .]?v(ision)?)\b/i - - -Optional - Dislike retags - -Explanation - [Click to show/hide] -Use this only if you dislike renamed and retagged releases, some indexers/trackers are known to rename or add their own tags to the release name which could mess up your results or naming. - -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [-10000] -/(\[rartv\]|\[rarbg\]|\[eztv([ ._-]re)?\]|\[TGx\])/i - -Optional - Dislike Obfuscated - -Explanation - [Click to show/hide] -Use this only if you dislike Obfuscated releases, some indexers are known to rename or add their own tags/obfuscated name to the release name which could mess up your results or naming. - -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [-10000] -/(-4P|-4Planet|-AsRequested|-BUYMORE|-CAPTCHA|-Chamele0n|-GEROV|-iNC0GNiTO|-NZBGeek|-Obfuscated|-postbot|-Rakuv|-Scrambled|-WhiteRev|-WRTEAM|-xpost)\b/i - - -Optional - Dislike release ending: en -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [-10000] - -Explanation - [Click to show/hide] -Some indexers are known to add extra useless info to the release name which could mess up your results or naming. - -/\s?\ben\b$/i - - -Optional - Dislike release containing: 1- - -Explanation - [Click to show/hide] -Some indexers are known to add extra useless info to the release name which could mess up your results or naming. -Matches any release that contains '1-' as prefix for Release Groups - -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [-10000] -/(?<!\d\.)(1-.+)$/i - - -Optional - Dislike Extras -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [-10000] -/(?<=\bS\d+\b).*\b(Extras|Bonus)\b/i - - -Optional - Prefer Season Packs - -Explanation - [Click to show/hide] -Use this if you prefer Season packs - - - -This will upgrade also your already downloaded single episodes -/\bS\d+\b(?!E\d+\b)/i season packs are preferred: however, given the folder name is ignored the error/warning/issue occurs as the file names would not be a season pack of course. -keep in mind this is the only way to prefer season packs if you have preferred words due to the long standing bug => Preferred Words overrule season pack preference Sonarr/Sonarr#3562 - - -Add this to your Preferred (3) with a score of [15] -/\bS\d+\b(?!E\d+\b)/i - - -.su season pack issue - -.su season pack issue - [Click to show/hide] -When you see a error in Sonarr that looks somehow like the follow screenshot - -Then there is only one way real way that always solves this issue. -create a new release profile specific for .su that uses the Season regex as Must not contain (2) - - -Note -There is a script for NZBGet that sometimes could help but it seems it doesn't always work.
