Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups getting a higher score.
??? faq "DV (WEBDL) - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
For example a lot of EVO releases end up stripping the group name, so they appear as "upgrades", and they end up getting a decent score if other things match
This is a special Custom Format that block WEBDLs **with** Dolby Vision but **without** HDR10 fallback.
!!! warning
This Custom Format works together with the normal [DV](#dv) Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.
If you don't use decent filenames (like not adding release groups) don't add this Custom Format, except if you want to upgrade them.
Most WEBDL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR10, What can results in playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.
Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.

If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then it's best to add **ALL** the HDR Metadata even the ones with DV in it, and then make sure you make use of the [{{ radarr['cf']['dv-webdl']['name'] }}](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#dv-webdl) Custom Format with a score of {{ radarr['cf']['dv-webdl']['trash_score'] }}
