Collection of Custom Formats

Here I will try to list a collection of the most needed and commonly used Custom Formats. These have been collected from either discussions on Discord or that I created with help from others. Special thanks to everyone that helped testing and creating these Custom Formats.

With Sonarr V4+, Custom Formats are much more advanced/powerful than with the release profiles, although this also means a Custom Format is much more complicated to setup.

I also made 3 guides related to this one.

• How to import Custom Formats{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Where I will try to explain how to import the Custom Formats.
• How to upgrade Custom Formats{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Where I will try to explain how to upgrade your existing Custom Formats.
• How to setup Quality Profiles{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Where I will try to explain how to make the most use of Custom Formats and show some personal examples that I'm using. You can use these to get an idea on how to setup your own.

!!! tip

I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Sonarr

`Media Management` => `File Management` to `Do Not Prefer` and use the [Repack/Proper](#repackproper) Custom Format.

![!cf-mm-propers-repacks-disable](images/cf-mm-propers-repacks-disable.png)

This way you make sure the Custom Format preferences will be used instead.

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Atmos){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It expands on existing surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects.

DTS-HD MA

??? question "DTS-HD MA - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTS-HD_Master_Audio){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

DTS-HD Master Audio is a multi-channel, lossless audio codec developed by DTS as an extension of the lossy DTS Coherent Acoustics codec (DTS CA; usually itself referred to as just DTS). Rather than being an entirely new coding mechanism, DTS-HD MA encodes an audio master in lossy DTS first, then stores a concurrent stream of supplementary data representing whatever the DTS encoder discarded. This gives DTS-HD MA a lossy "core" able to be played back by devices that cannot decode the more complex lossless audio. DTS-HD MA's primary application is audio storage and playback for Blu-ray Disc media.

HDR10Plus

_{HDR10Plus = HDR10+}

??? question "HDR10+ - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

**HDR10+ enhances upon a pre-existing HDR10 base layer allowing backwards compatibility with HDR10 devices. It adds dynamic metadata for the devices that support it.**

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_video){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

HDR10+, also known as HDR10 Plus, is an HDR video format, announced on 20 April 2017. It is the same as HDR10 but with the addition of a system of dynamic metadata developed by Samsung. It is free to use for content creators and has a maximum $10,000 annual license for some manufacturers. It has been positioned as an alternative to Dolby Vision without the same expenses.

HDR10

_HDR10

??? question "HDR10 - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

**HDR10 is the most basic HDR format used in consumer media and is supported by all HDR-supported devices. It adds static metadata upon the PQ10 format.**

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_video){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

HDR10 Media Profile, more commonly known as HDR10, is an open HDR standard announced on 27 August 2015 by the Consumer Technology Association. It is the most widespread of the HDR formats. It is not backward compatible with SDR displays. It is technically limited to a maximum of 10,000 nits peak brightness; however, HDR10 content is commonly mastered with a peak brightness between 1000 and 4000 nits.

HDR10 lacks dynamic metadata. On HDR10 displays that have lower color volume than the HDR10 content (e.g. lower peak brightness capability), the HDR10 metadata provides information to help the display adjust to the video. The metadata, however, is static and constant with respect to each individual video and doesn't inform the display exactly how the content should be adjusted. The interaction between display capabilities, video metadata, and the ultimate output (i.e. the presentation of the video) is mediated by the display, with the result that the original producer's intent may not be preserved.

HDR

_HDR

??? question "HDR - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_video){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

High-dynamic-range video (HDR video) is video having a dynamic range greater than that of standard-dynamic-range video (SDR video).HDR video involves capture, production, content/encoding, and display. HDR capture and displays are capable of brighter whites and deeper blacks. To accommodate this, HDR encoding standards allow for a higher maximum luminance and use at least a 10-bit dynamic range (color depth, compared to 8-bit for non-professional and 10-bit for professional SDR video) in order to maintain precision across this extended range.

PQ

_{PQ = PQ10}

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_video){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}

PQ10, sometimes simply referred as the PQ format, is an HDR format that can be used for both video and still images. It is the same as the HDR10 format without any metadata. It uses the PQ transfer function, Rec. 2020 color primaries and a bit depth of 10-bits. It is not backward compatible with SDR.

HLG10, commonly simply referred as the HLG format, is an HDR format that can be used for both video and still images. It uses the HLG transfer function, Rec. 2020 color primaries, and a bit depth of 10 bits.

BR-DISK

??? question "BR-DISK - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

This is a custom format to help Sonarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.

You will need to add the following to your new Custom Format when created in your Quality Profile (`Setting` => `Profiles`) and then set the score to `-1000` or even `-10000`

!!! note

    Depending on your renaming scheme it could happen that Sonarr will match renamed files after they are downloaded and imported as `BR-DISK`,
    This is a cosmetic annoyance until I come up with another way to solve this,
    being that this Custom Format is used to not download BR-DISK it does its purpose as intended.
    Several reasons why this is happening:

    - Blame the often wrongly used naming of x265 encodes.
    - Sonarr v3/v4 uses dynamic custom formats.

Bad Dual Groups

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.

DV (WEBDL)

_{Dolby Vision = DoVi = DV}

??? question "DV (WEBDL) - [CLICK TO EXPAND]" This is a special Custom Format that block WEBDLs with Dolby Vision but without HDR10 fallback.

You will need to add the following to your new Custom Format when created in your Quality Profile (`Setting` => `Profiles`) and then set the score to `-1000` or even `-10000`

This Custom Format works together with the normal [DV](#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 (typically a green hue) if you want to play it on a not Dolby Vision compatible setup.

Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR10.

No-RlsGroup

??? question "No-RlsGroup - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

Some indexers strip out the release group which 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

!!! warning

    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.

??? question "Season Pack - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

This Custom Format can be used depending if you prefer or not prefer a season pack

- Give it a score of `-10000` if you don't prefer a season pack.
- `/\bS\d+\b(?!E\d+\b)/i` season packs are preferred: however, given the folder name is ignored the error/warning/issue occurs as the file names would not be a season pack of course.
- keep in mind this is the only way to prefer season packs if you have preferred words due to the long standing bug => Preferred Words overrule season pack preference [Sonarr/Sonarr#3562](https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/3562){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
