How to setup Quality Profiles French

This guide is created and maintained by Someone said "Nice"?

Cette page est aussi disponible en Français: Guide en Français.

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?

Keep in mind that most releases are MULTi (understand DUAL audio, original and French audio) and it can be difficult to only have French audio, unless you are willing to get 720p, or you are only looking for French TVShows.

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

Some prefer high quality audio (HD Audio), others high quality video. Many prefer both.

TRaSH created a flowchart to make your decision/choices easier. Remember that this chart does not include any of the following Custom Formats and you will still need to read this guide to get MULTi releases.

Basics

It is quite important that you follow and understand what is envisioned by Trash's guide:

I am only interested in French subs (VOSTFR)

There is two options:

Using TRaSH's guide and Bazarr

This is the preferred method.

Using the following examples and the VOSTFR Custom Format

  • Continue to read this page.
  • Ignore any mention of MULTi Custom Formats.
  • Add the VOSTFR Custom Format with a score of 1000.

Usages

There is two ways of using those French Custom Formats, with and without the Guide's original Group tiers (which can be found there: Collection of Custom Formats). To illustrate this, you will see an "Original mix (optional)" section in each of the examples below. You need to understand that if you add the Custom Formats from this optional section if Sonarr do not find a MULTi you will still have a good scoring for single audio.

Attention

If you use the "Original mix (optional)". You need to understand that even if in the beginning the main focus of those French Custom Formats is to work alongside the original ones. You could end up with a single audio release when a MULTi release exists. This is because it was not scored high enough to trump the other scoring.

An example for Anime in MULTi/VOSTFR is also provided at the end: Anime Example

Attention

All the used scores and combination of Custom Formats in this Guide are tested to get the desired results and prevent download loops as much as possible.

From experience most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CF that work together they end up with undesired results.

French Audio Versions

Those are all optional and only there to rename your release or to avoid a certain type of French Audio. Examples:

  • You do not want VFQ or VQ audio, in this case you will put them at -10000 instead of 0.
  • You only want VOSTFR, in this case you will ignore any mention of MULTi Custom Formats and give the VOSTFR Custom Format a score of 1000.
Explanation - [CLICK TO EXPAND]
Acronyms French Explanation English Explanation
TRUEFRENCH or VFF Version Francophone Française (doublage réalisé en France) Full French version (dubbing done in France)
FRENCH or VF[1] Version Francophone (normalement equivalent à la VFQ) French version (normally equivalent to VFQ)
VOF Version Originale Française Original French Version
VFI Version Francophone Internationale International French Version
VFQ Version Francophone Québécoise Canadian French Version
VQ Version Québécoise (accent Québécois important, ex: Les Simpsons le film) Quebec Version (strong Quebec accent, ex: The Simpsons movie)
VFB Version Francophone Belge Belgian French Version
VF[1-9] or FR[1-9][2] Indique le nombre de doublage présent (normalement VF2 soit VFF et VFQ) Indicates the number of dubs present (normally VF2 being VFF and VFQ)
VOSTFR[3] Indique que l'audio est dans la langue originale, avec des sous-titres en français. Indicates soundtrack in the original language, with French subtitles
  • [1] VF is included under the VFQ Custom Format, but it should be noted that it was often mismatched with VFF instead of VFQ pre-2022.
  • [2] VF[1-9] is included under the VFI Custom Format.
  • [3] It should be noted that SUBFRENCH is included in this Custom Format. However, SUB often means that the subtitle was embedded inside the picture (hardcoded). French releases tend to mix the two, leading to some VOSTFR being labelled as SUBFRENCH and SUBFRENCH as VOSTFR.

Indexers renaming in Prowlarr

Some Indexers in Prowlarr can rename MULTi releases to MULTi.TRUEFRENCH or MULTi.FRENCH. I do not recommend using such a feature along with those Custom Formats as it can lead to false positives from the VFF or VFQ Custom Formats.

French Speaking Streaming Services

Those are all optional and only there for information and does not have a score attached. This is due to the fact that few releases are tagged with them, so scoring them is difficult. Moreover, streaming services covered by TRaSH's guide are often of better quality than the following.

    Tip

    You can safely replace the original Multi Custom Format from the Guide with it.

  • French Audio: This is a custom format to help Sonarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.

  • Multi-French: This is a custom format that will rename your file with Multi-French.

How it works

When Sonarr finds a release with MULTi, it will allocate a 300 score to it thanks to the Multi-Audio custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the Multi-French. Allowing the release to keep the 300 score from the Multi-Audio Custom Format.

WEB Scene ❗ 1800 d0c516558625b04b363fa6c5c2c7cfd4

Info

❗ = The reason why this Custom Format get's such a high score is because it's the only quality scene group that exist (till now) and scene groups don't add the Release Sources (Streaming Services) to their release name so they don't get the extra point of the Streaming Services.

Audio Advanced Custom Formats are not included to the WEB profile, as you will hardly find HD audio with WEB-DL (only newer WEBDL will have Atmos). If you also want HD audio formats it is suggested to go for the Remuxes.

Use the following main settings in your profile.

!cf-profile-web1080

For some older shows you might want to enable the WEB 720p or even the HDTV 1080p.

Tip

The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.

Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.

  • Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.
  • Qualities within the same group are equal.
  • Only checked qualities are wanted.

This is why it's recommended to move the selected quality to the top of the list.

Source: Wiki Servarr

The following workflow will be applied:

  • It will download WEB-DL 1080p. (If you also enabled WEB 720p and/or HDTV 1080p it will upgrade till Upgrade Until)
  • The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of 10000.

WEBDL-2160p

If you prefer 2160p WEBDL (WEB-2160p)

The only deal breaker with 2160p is when you get them with DV/HDR, 2160p without DV/HDR is a minimal profit.

HDR Formats - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

Dolby Vision is available in several profiles

  • Profile 5 (1) - This is what comes with WEB-DL Dolby Vision release without HDR10 fallback.
    (Incompatible devices will playback with blown out pinks and greens)
  • Profile 7 (2) - This is what comes with UHD Bluray Remuxes and UHD BluRay releases.
    These files will play on an Nvidia Shield Pro (2019), but on most other players will revert to the HDR10 fallback.
  • Profile 8 (3) - This is what comes with (Hybrid) WEB-DL releases (HULU), Hybrid UHD Remux and UHD BluRay releases all of which have HDR10 fallback.
    This works with several mainstream media players.
  • (1) On an AppleTV, these do not reliably play with the Plex app but will work better with the third-party Infuse app. MP4 files tend to work better than MKV files, obviously MKV is preferable because of its support for lossless audio.
    It has been confirmed that with the latest beta build of Plex, Profile 5 MKV files now play correctly ! on an AppleTV 4K 1st gen, files are direct streamed (not transcoded) to an MP4 container and play using the native AVPlayer instead of Plex’s MPV.
  • (2) Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7/8.
  • (3) Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7/8, And will only play the HDR10 fallback. (although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV)

WEB Scene ❗ 1800 d0c516558625b04b363fa6c5c2c7cfd4

Info

❗ = The reason why this Custom Format get's such a high score is because it's the only quality scene group that exist (till now) and scene groups don't add the Release Sources (Streaming Services) to their release name so they don't get the extra point of the Streaming Services.

Use the following main settings in your profile.

!cf-profile-web2160

The reason why WEB 1080p is merged with the 2160p is because some NF releases won't be released as 4k, but DV/HDR releases are still wanted. If you want to do the same make sure you replace x265 (HD) with x265 (no HDR/DV).

The following workflow will be applied:

  • It will download WEB-1080p with HDR/DV.
  • It will upgrade to WEB-2160p when available.
  • The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of 10000.

Anime Example

If you are looking to grab Anime with either French sub or MULTi audio (original + French).

Important

In a first time you should follow the original Anime Guide following sections:

Do not continue before you read those three sections and you followed their instructions.

Original Scoring

Those are the original scoring from the Anime Guide and need to be followed depending what you want to achieve. It will unsure that if a VOSTFR or MULTi releases is not found you will still have a good quality releases:

  • Default Scoring: Default scoring that will insure that you have good English subbed releases at least.
  • Dual Audio: If you want to have Dual Audio releases (original and English audio) in case Sonarr does not find a VOSTFR or MULTi release.
  • Uncensored Scoring: If you prefer uncensored releases.

⚠ Careful to not add the VOSTFR Custom Format with a score of -10000 as stated in the original guide. Otherwise, you will hinder your chance to get "French" releases.

Only want VOSTFR anime

For this example if you prefer VOSTFR over potential MULTi/DUAL (original and French) audio releases, you should score the VOSTFR to 101, and disregard all the Multi and French version Custom Formats.

(Optional) You can also try to set up Bazarr to get French Sub. This is less preferred as fewer anime subs can be found online than from normal TV shows. However, it can be still a great backup.

  • French Audio: This is a custom format to help Sonarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.

  • Multi-French: This is a custom format that will rename your file with Multi-French.

How it works

When Sonarr finds a release with MULTi, it will allocate a 300 score to it thanks to the Multi-Audio custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the Multi-French. Allowing the release to keep the 300 score from the Multi-Audio Custom Format.

Tip

French Scene groups are included and should be always added as some of the biggest releaser of French subbed and/or dubbed are from the French Scene.

FanSUB groups can either be scored either 1400 (default) or 1000 depending if you want to prefer FanSUB or SeaDex releases.

Original French Web Tiers

French Web tiers are optional and can be included or not. This is due because some of them tend to release some Dubbed anime. Only add them if you are looking for MULTi releases as their VOSTFR releases are easily trumped by either the original Anime guide or by the French Anime tiers.
