Streaming Optimized (SQP-1 2160p)

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.

Why choose this quality profile

Why choose this quality profile? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

You want 2160p with DV + HDR10 but don't care about HD audio (TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS-X).
You want maximum compatibility between all devices and still a HQ releases.
You run 2 instances of Radarr and want both version or you want to use this as your main.
You want to have minimum till none transcoding for low powered devices or remote streaming.
You're using your smart tv app as media player device.
Optimized for PLEX, Emby, Jellyfin, and other streaming platforms.
Encoded lossless audio track to Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 with Dolby Digital 5.1 fallback.
Dolby Vision with HDR10 fallback.

Tested Devices and Results

We've tested this SQP on several devices and added the result in a spreadsheet

If you want to add any missing devices and players to the results please do so in our dedicated SQP-1 (2160p) Discord.

You will need to provide the following info.

Your used TV and the max resolution supported by the TV.

Workflow Logic

Workflow Logic - [CLICK TO EXPAND]

Depending what's released first and available the following Workflow Logic will be used:

When a (U)HD WEBDL is released it will download the (U)HD WEB-DL. (streaming services)
When a (U)HD BHDStudio is released it will download the (U)HD BHDStudio releases.
Where the UHD will upgrade the HD.

Possible Variables

When no (U)HD BHDStudio or (U)HD WEBDL exist (or limited sources) it will grab the following:

Get other HD Bluray Encodes (less or not streaming optimized).
Prefer HQ Encodes (Bluray-720/1080).
When the IMAX-E is released it will upgrade to the IMAX-E.
When there is no BHDStudio release or WEBDL it will get a HD Bluray Encodes (less or not streaming optimized).
Max compatibility, prefer BHDStudio.
Prefer Streaming Services Audio Formats (Atmos) if no BHDStudio is available.

BHDStudio

BHDStudio does HQ 1080p/2160p Encodes with the following features

Streaming optimized (Optimized for PLEX, emby, Jellyfin, and other streaming platforms)
[1080p] AC3 Audio (Downmixed Lossless audio track to Dolby Digital 5.1 for optimal compatibility)
[2160p] Encoded lossless audio track to Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 with Dolby Digital 5.1 fallback.
[2160p] Dolby Vision with HDR10 fallback.
Small sizes
Good quality

Biggest drawback if you don't have access to the top tier indexers you won't have access to all BHDStudio releases, and in that case you might need to choose a few of the optional variables.

Important Notice

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.

If you're unsure or have questions do not hesitate to ask for help on Discord.

Instructions

Follow every steps below.
Don't skip any steps.
Changing the tested recommended scores could result in undesired results.
Adding CF not in this guide could result in undesired results.

Depending which road you want to go follow the following instructions

Bluray|WEB-2160p

1080p WEBDL with DD+ (+Atmos) will trump a 1080p BHDStudio.
1080p/2160p WEBDL with Imax/Imax-E will trump everything.
2160p Hybrid WEBDL with DV HDR10 & DD+ Atmos will trump a 2160p BHDStudio.
2160p WEBDL with HDR10 & DD+ (+Atmos) WILL NOT trump a 2160p BHDStudio with DV HDR10.
2160p BHDStudio will trump a 2160p WEBDL with DD+ (non Atmos).

SQP-1 (2160p) - (Max compatibility, prefer BHDstudio)

1080p WEBDL with DD+ (+Atmos) will trump a BHDStudio ⁽¹⁾.

Merge Qualities

First we're going to merge a couple of qualities.

If you don't know how to merge qualities take a look at the following Guide:

=> How to Merge Quality

Merge the following Qualities together

Bluray-720p
Bluray-1080p
WEBDL-1080p
WEBRip-1080p
WEBDL-720p
WEBRip-720p

and name it what ever you want I used: Bluray|WEB-1080p

and merge the following 2160p ones in a new group

Bluray-2160p
WEBDL-2160p
WEBRip-2160p

and name it what ever you want I used: Bluray|WEB-2160p

Select the following qualities

The merged quality profile: Bluray|WEB-1080p and Bluray|WEB-2160p

Make sure you put the merged Bluray|WEB-2160p above the merged Bluray|WEB-1080p

Move selected quality to top

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.

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

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.

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.
HDR10+ Boost: [Optional] (use this one only if you have a (Samsung) TV that supports HDR10+ and you don't have a Setup that supports DV or you prefer HDR10+)
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: -10000

Don't use this together with x265 (HD), Only ever include one of them
SDR: This will help to prevent to grab UHD/4k releases without HDR Formats.

Breakdown and Why

These reason why these Custom Formats have a score of 0 is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred.
MA is the only one with a score because of their higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
BCore are very rare and they have the highest bitrate at the moment.

Merge Qualities

First we're going to merge a couple of qualities.

If you don't know how to merge qualities take a look at the following Guide:

=> How to Merge Quality

Merge the following Qualities together (SQP-1 (2160p))

Bluray-720p
Bluray-1080p
WEBDL-1080p
WEBRip-1080p
WEBDL-720p
WEBRip-720p

and name it what ever you want I used: Bluray|WEB-1080p

1080p WEBDL with DD+ (+Atmos) will always trump a 1080p BHDStudio
If you want to prevent this you could remove the Bluray-1080p from the above merged Bluray|WEB-1080p, And put Bluray-1080p above the merged Bluray|WEB-1080p.
But this should be only done if you DON'T make use of the variable Prefer HQ Encodes (Bluray-720/1080).
Otherwise the HQ Encodes (Bluray-720/1080) will also trump the 1080p WEBDL.

and merge the following 2160p ones in a new group

WEBDL-2160p
WEBRip-2160p

and name it what ever you want I used: WEB-2160p

Select the following qualities

Bluray-2160p.
The merged quality profile: Bluray|WEB-1080p and WEB-2160p.

Make sure you put the merged WEB-2160p above the merged Bluray|WEB-1080p and the Bluray-2160p on the top of everything.

Move selected quality to top

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.

Only checked qualities are wanted.

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

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

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 ?
Upscaled: A custom format to prevent Radarr from grabbing upscaled releases.

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.
HDR10+ Boost: [Optional] (use this one only if you have a (Samsung) TV that supports HDR10+ and you don't have a Setup that supports DV or you prefer HDR10+)
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: -10000

Don't use this together with x265 (HD), Only ever include one of them
SDR: This will help to prevent to grab UHD/4k releases without HDR Formats.

Breakdown and Why

These reason why these Custom Formats have a score of 0 is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred.
MA is the only one with a score because of their higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
BCore are very rare and they have the highest bitrate at the moment.

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.
