<p>So what's the best way to setup the Custom Profiles and which one to use with which scores?</p>
<p>There isn't a best scores setup, being that everyone has its own personal preference what they prefer Audio or Video or perhaps both.</p>
<p>But being I still get a lot of questions about it I decided to create a Guide for it.</p>
<p>Here I will try to explain with some personal used examples how to make the most use of Custom Formats. That you can use to get a idea how to setup yours.</p>
<hr />
<div class="admonition important">
<p class="admonition-title">Important</p>
<p>I also suggest to change the Propers and Repacks settings in Radarr !!!</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Custom formats are implemented within and have their impact controlled by Quality Profiles.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Upgrade Until score prevents upgrading once a release with this desired score has been downloaded.</li>
<li>A score of 0 results in the custom format being informational only.</li>
<li>The Minimum score requires releases to reach this threshold otherwise they will be rejected.</li>
<li>Custom formats that match with undesirable attributes should be given a negative score to lower their appeal.</li>
<li>Outright rejections should be given a negative score low enough that even if all of the other formats with positive scores were added, the score would still fall below the minimum.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>First the basics where we going to explain where to setup the Custom Formats after you've added them, what we've explained in <a href="/Radarr/Radarr-import-custom-formats/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to import Custom Formats</a>.
And a short description what the settings means.</p>
<p><code>Settings</code> =&gt; <code>Profiles</code></p>
<p><img alt="cf-settings-profiles" src="../images/cf-settings-profiles.png" /></p>
<p>Then select the profile that you use/prefer.</p>
<p><div class="lightgallery"><a data-sub-html="cf-quality-profiles" href="../images/cf-quality-profiles.png"><img alt="cf-quality-profiles" src="../images/cf-quality-profiles.png" /></a></div></p>
<div class="admonition info">

<p><div class="lightgallery"><a data-sub-html="cf-profile-selected" href="../images/cf-profile-selected.png"><img alt="cf-profile-selected" src="../images/cf-profile-selected.png" /></a></div></p>
<ol>
<li>Profile name.</li>
<li>If you want that Radarr will upgrade till the quality set in (3.).</li>
<li>Upgrade till the selected Quality.</li>
<li>The <code>Minimum Custom Format Score</code> allowed to download. <a href="#minimum-custom-format-score">More Info</a></li>
<li>Keep upgrading Custom Format till this score is reached. (setting this to <code>0</code> means no upgrades will happen based on Custom Formats)</li>
<li>Your preferred language profile for your Releases.</li>
</ol>
<p>In your chosen profile at the bottom you will see the added Custom Profiles where you can start setting up the scores.</p>

<p>Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile</p>
<p>Generally Quality Trumps All</p>
<p>The current logic can be found <a href="https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/blob/develop/src/NzbDrone.Core/DecisionEngine/DownloadDecisionComparer.cs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a> As of 1/19/2021 the logic is as follows</p>
<ol>
<li>Quality</li>
<li>Custom Format Score</li>
<li>Protocol</li>
<li>Indexer Priority</li>
<li>Indexer Flags</li>
<li>Peers (If Torrent)</li>
<li>Age (If Usenet)</li>
<li>Size</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>My suggestion is to create tiers of scores based on what things matter to you.</p>
<p>Personally I would only add the Custom Formats that do what you actually prefer especially in the beginning, including the <a href="#releases-you-should-avoid">Releases you should avoid</a></p>
<hr />
<h2 id="examples">Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#examples" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>Here I will show how to make the most use of Custom Formats and show some personal examples that I'm using. That you can use to get a idea how to setup yours.</p>

<li><strong>Releases you should avoid</strong> -10000</li>

<div class="admonition info">

<summary>Breakdown and Why - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<ul>
<li><strong>BR-DISK</strong> This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize &amp; ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.</li>
<li><strong>EVO except WEB-DL</strong> This group is often banned for the low quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DL are okay.</li>
<li><strong>Low Quality Releases</strong> A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.</li>
<li><strong>720/1080p no x265</strong> This blocks/ignores 720/1080p releases that are encoded in x265 - More info <a href="/Misc/x265-4k/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</li>
<li><strong>3D</strong> Is 3D still a thing for home use ?</li>
<li><strong>No-RlsGroup</strong> 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</li>
<li><strong>DoVi (WEBDL)</strong> This is a special Custom Format that ignores DV for WEB-DL but together with the normal DoVi allows for other sources. WEB-DL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR(10), What can results in weird playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not DoVi compatible setup. Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR(10).</li>

<h4 id="prefer-advanced-audio">Prefer Advanced Audio<a class="headerlink" href="#prefer-advanced-audio" title="Permanent link"></a></h4>
<p>Lets say you prefer HD audio (with object metadata)</p>
<p>Then we would use the following order.</p>
<p><code>Basic Dolby Digital (DD) &lt; AAC &lt; Basic DTS (DTS) &lt; DTS-ES &lt; Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) &lt; DTS-HD HRA &lt; PCM = FLAC &lt; DTS-HD MA &lt; TrueHD &lt; DD+ ATMOS = ATMOS (undefined) &lt; DTS X &lt; TrueHD ATMOS</code></p>

<p>I didn't add <code>Dolby Vision (Single Layer)</code> being most of the releases are already replaced by real <code>Dolby Vision</code> releases, If you still want to add it put it between <code>HDR</code> and <code>Dolby Vision</code> so they still can get upgraded.</p>

<summary>How to use a Custom Formats to avoid certain releases? - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>For Custom Formats you really want to avoid, set it to something really low like <code>-10000</code> and not something like <code>-10</code>.
Being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like <code>+10</code> it could happen that for example the <code>BR-DISK</code> will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and if your <code>Minimum Custom Format Score</code> is set at <code>0</code>.</p>

<p>Some people suggest not to use minus score for your Custom Formats and set this option to a higher score then 0.</p>
<p>The reason why I don't prefer/use this is because you could limit your self when some new groups or what ever will be released.</p>

<p>Personally I wouldn't add the audio channels Custom Formats being you could limit your self in the amount of releases you're able to get. Only use this if you got specific reasons that you need them.</p>
<p>Using it with any kind of Remuxes Quality Profile is useless in my opinion being that 99% of all remuxes are multi audio anyway. and you can better score using the <code>Audio Advanced</code> Custom Formats</p>

<details class="tip">
<summary>Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>If possible avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score, it's smarter to use the <a href="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-7201080p" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">720/1080p no x265</a> Custom Format.</p>
<p>Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support. If you have more than a couple users, you will notice much more transcoding.</p>
<p>Use x265 only for 4k releases and the <a href="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-7201080p" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">720/1080p no x265</a> makes sure you still can get the x265 releases.</p>
