UHD WEBDL|IMAX-E (SQP-4)
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

Depending what's released first and available the following Workflow Logic will be used:
- When the 4k WEBDL is released it will download the 4k WEB-DL. (streaming services)
- When the IMAX-E is released it will upgrade to the IMAX-E. (optional, see below)
Possible Variables
When no 4k exist it will grab the following:
- 1080p WEBDL with DV/HDR (optional also 1080p WEBDL without DV/HDR)
- 1080p Remux
[Optional] IMAX Enhanced (IMAX-E)
- When a IMAX Enhanced exist it will upgrade/downgrade to IMAX Enhanced.
- IMAX Enhanced will be ONLY chosen if it has the same AUDIO and HDR Metadata
- It won't downgrade from a TrueHD Atmos to a DD+ Atmos or from a DV to a HDR.
Important Notice
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 step 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.
Create a new Quality Profile
Settings => Profiles
Create a new profile and name it what ever you want I used: WEBDL|IMAX-E|2160p
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:
Merge the following Qualities together
- WEBDL-2160p
- WEBRip-2160p
- WEBDL-1080p
- WEBRip-1080p
and name it what ever you want I used: WEB|2160p
If you're only running 1 Radarr, You might want to merge the HD Qualities together (WEB+Remux) and NOT with the UHD ones so you will also get the HD release if there is no UHD release.
Move selected quality to top
Info
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.
Select the following qualities
- The merged quality profile:
WEBDL|2160p Remux-1080p
Quality Profile Settings
- Enable:
Upgrades Allowed - Upgrade Until Quality:

Custom Formats and scores
Audio - [Click to show/hide]
Add the audio custom formats only if
- You have a audio setup that supports ALL HD Audio (TrueHD, DTS-X, DTS-HD, etc). if you have a setup that only supports a few Audio formats or doesn't support certain audio formats (or you're using only your TV speakers) it's recommended not to add any audio custom formats, else you will limit your self to much what you're able to grab. Audio transcoding has a low impact on your server, if your server can't handle audio transcoding you might consider to choose another quality profile.
- You have a media player (hardware devices) that can passthrough HD audio.
- You don't have a AppleTV (Being it can't passthrough untouched audio).

All HDR Formats - [Click to show/hide]
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 PLEX for AppleTV, It has been confirmed that with the latest build of Plex, Profile 5 MKV files now play correctly!
On an AppleTV 4K 1st gen and up, 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.
- (3) On PLEX for AppleTV it won't deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 8, And will only play the HDR10 fallback.
“although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV”.
With infuse it will convert it on the fly to Profile 5 and deliver real Dolby Vision.
“Make sure you set the Extended Dolby Vision settings to Limited (prefer accuracy) - Convert P8 to P5 (when possible), and play other P8 as HDR (output will switch to either DoVi or HDR depending on the video)”

Tip
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 Formats listed above (including ALL the DV ones (with and without HDR in it)), It is important to also add the DV (WEBDL) Custom Format with a score of -10000

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- if you're only running 1 Radarr, You might want to remove the
x264CF so you will also get the HD release if there is no UHD version.
Proper and Repacks - [Click to show/hide]
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.

| Extras | -10000 | 0a3f082873eb454bde444150b70253cc |
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.
- LQ (Release Title): A collection of terms seen in the titles of Low Quality releases that are not captured by using a release group name.
-
x265 (HD): This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
Don't use this together with x265 (no HDR/DV), Only ever include one of them
-
3D: Is 3D still a thing for home use ?
- Upscaled: A custom format to prevent Radarr from grabbing upscaled releases.
- Extras: Blocks releases that only contain extras
Optional - [Click to show/hide]
I recommend to use the x265 (no HDR/DV) over the x265 (HD), Read the Why below and don't forget to read the warning, Only ever include one of them
I recommend to use the SDR,
This will help to prevent to grab UHD/4k releases without HDR Formats

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.
Tip
[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
-
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:
-10000Don'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.
- DV (FEL): This will boost the score for Dolby Vision Releases using the original full quality Dolby Vision layer from the disc release to replace the old WEBDL HYBRID release.

Breakdown and Why
- The 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. BCore,CRiTandMAare the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
Quality Size
Settings => Quality
| Quality | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| WEBDL-1080p | 12.5 | 400 |
| WEBRip-1080p | 12.5 | 400 |
| Remux-1080p | 136.8 | 400 |
| WEBDL-2160p | 34.5 | 400 |
| WEBRip-2160p | 34.5 | 400 |
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.
