UHD Remux|IMAX-E (SQP-3)
Info
Keep in mind this SQP is a WIP, Changes are done when needed.
It uses Custom Formats and specific needed settings that probably will never make it to the guide, being the guide is used by the masses and what's used here is made for specific needs.
This also means some Custom Formats needs manual updating or you can use one of the 3rd party automation tools.

IMAX Enhanced
IMAX Enhanced: Get More Picture Instead of Black Bars.
IMAX Enhanced exclusive expanded aspect ratio is 1:90:1, which offers up to 26% more picture for select sequences, meaning more of the action is visible on screen.
If you don't prefer IMAX Enhanced then don't add it or use a score of 0

Breakdown and Why
x264has a score of-10000because we only want the HDR/DV versions of theWEBDL-1080p
Proper and Repacks - [CLICK TO EXPAND]
I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Radarr
Media Management => File Management to Do Not Prefer and use the Repack/Proper Custom Format.
This way you make sure the Custom Formats preferences will be used and not ignored.

Breakdown and Why
- BR-DISK : This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.
- LQ: A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.
- 3D: Is 3D still a thing for home use ?

-10000 | 839bea857ed2c0a8e084f3cbdbd65ecb |
Breakdown and Why
- Bad Dual Groups: [Optional] These groups take the original release, then they add their own preferred language (ex. Portuguese) as the main audio track (AAC 2.0), What results after renaming and FFprobe that the media file will be recognized as Portuguese AAC audio. It's a common rule that you add the best audio as first. Also they often even rename the release name in to Portuguese.
-
DV (WEBDL): This is a special Custom Format that Block WEBDL with Dolby Vision but without HDR10 fallback.
This Custom Format works together with the normal DV Custom Format that you can use to prefer Dolby Vision.
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.
Hint
[DV WEBDL]= This custom format you need to score depending of your personal use and setup.- If you only watch your movies on a setup that completely supports Dolby Vision from start to end then give it a score of
0or just don't add it. - If you (or family members you share your collection with) have a setup that doesn't support Dolby Vision then you should add this with a score of
-10000.
- If you only watch your movies on a setup that completely supports Dolby Vision from start to end then give it a score of
-
EVO (no WEBDL): This group is often banned for the low quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DL are okay.
- No-RlsGroup: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group what could result in LQ groups getting a higher score. 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.
- Obfuscated: [Optional] (use these only if you dislike renamed releases)
- Retags: [Optional] (use these only if you dislike retagged releases)
- Scene: [Optional] (use these only if you dislike scene releases)
-
x265 (no HDR/DV): This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won't be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:
-10000Don't use this together with x265 (HD), Only ever include one of them

Breakdown and Why
- These reason why these Custom Formats have a score of
0is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred. MAis the only one with a score because of their higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.

The reason why you don't see the Preferred score in the table above is because we want max quality anyway. So set it as high as possible.
The highest preferred quality you can manually enter is 1 less than the Maximum quality. If you use the slider, the preferred quality can be up to 5 lesser than the Maximum quality.
Make sure you have enabled Show Advanced in Radarr, if you don't see a provision to enter the scores, under the Quality settings.
