# How to import/export Custom Formats and truly make use of it
|
|
|
|
Here I will try to explain how you can import Custom Formats for Radarr v3 and make the most use of it.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile
|
|
|
|
**Quality Profile trumps Custom Formats**

## How to import a JSON Custom Format
|
|
|
|
In this example i will use the [BR-DISK](Collection-of-Custom-Formats-for-RadarrV3.md#br-disk) Custom Format the one most people don't want to download anyway and if you do then you probably don't use Radarr, Plex being both don't support it.
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Custom Formats`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then click on the :heavy_plus_sign: to add a new Custom Format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Followed by the `Import` in the lower left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the empty `Custom Format JSON` box (1) you just paste the `JSON` what you got from the [Custom Format Collection](Collection-of-Custom-Formats-for-RadarrV3.md) followed by the `Import` button (2).
|
|
|
|
What you see in the red box is a example txt that you don't and can't remove!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After selecting the `Import` button you will get a screen that has all the Custom Formats variables filled in correctly,
|
|
all you need to do now is click on the `Save` button and you're done.
|
|
|
|
|
|

## How to make use of the Custom Formats in your profiles
|
|
|
|
Now we need to make use of the Custom Formats we've added.
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Profiles`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then select the profile that you use/prefer.
|
|
|
|
The Custom Formats in the profiles needs editing on 2 spots.
|
|
|
|
First we're going to set the scores for the Custom Formats and for this we scroll all the way down.
|
|
|
|
And then we're going to set a score of `-1000` to the `BR-DISK` to make sure it will be ignored for ever and never going to go over the `Minimum Custom Format Score`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After this we scroll all the way back up
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Profile name
|
|
1. If you want that Radarr will upgrade till the quality set in (3.)
|
|
1. Upgrade till the selected Quality
|
|
1. The `Minimum Custom Format Score` allowed to download
|
|
1. Keep upgrading Custom Format till this score is reached
|
|
1. Your preferred language profile for your Releases
|
|
|
|
Being we set `BR-DISK` to `-1000` the chance that it will reach the `Minimum Custom Format Score` set in (4.) is really small.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
For Custom Formats you really don't want set it to something really low like `-1000` and not something like `-10` being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like `+10` it could happen that the `BR-DISK` will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and your `Minimum Custom Format Scrore` is set at `0`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Tips how to setup the scores
|
|
|
|
Personally I would only add the Custom Formats you really are interested in especially in the beginning.
|
|
|
|
So now the question what's the best score setup ?
|
|
|
|
There isn't a best scores setup being that everyone has its own personal preference what they prefer Audio or Video or perhaps both.
|
|
|
|
My suggestion is to create tiers of scores based on what things matter to you.
|
|
|
|
Lets say you prefer HD audio (with object metadata)
|
|
|
|
`Basic Dolby Digital < AAC < Basic DTS < DTS-ES < Dolby Digital Plus < DTS-HD HRA < PCM = FLAC < DTS-HD MA < TrueHD (not ATMOS) < DD+ ATMOS (lossy) = ATMOS (indeterminate) < DTS X < TrueHD ATMOS`
|
|
|
|
In this example above I have lossy Atmos over lossless DTS because the object metadata matters more to me over lossy vs lossless
|
|
|
|
* Separate all your audio codecs by 100
|
|
* Separate special editions/hybrid/4k remaster, etc by 10
|
|
* Separate channel count by 5
|
|
|
|
keep in mind some scores could add up so keep that in mind (depending which Custom Formats you've added and use).
|
|
|
|
So it's important to keep this in mind when setting up your scores.
