Reference documentation for the YAML configuration. For various examples, see the [[Configuration
Examples]] page.
# Summary
The Trash Updater program utilizes YAML for its configuration files. The configuration can be set up
multiple ways, offering a lot of flexibility:
- You may use one or more YAML files simultaneously, allowing you to divide your configuration
properties up in such a way that you can control what gets updated based on which files you
specify.
- Each YAML file may have one or more service configurations. This means you can have one file
define settings for just Sonarr, Radarr, or both services. The program will only read the
configuration from the file relevant for the specific service subcommand you specified (e.g.
`trash sonarr` will only read the Sonarr config in the file, even if Radarr config is present)
> **Remember**: If you do not specify the `--config` argument, the program will look for `trash.yml`
> in the same directory where the executable lives.

## Sonarr
```yml
sonarr:
- base_url: http://localhost:8989
api_key: f7e74ba6c80046e39e076a27af5a8444
# Quality Definition Settings
quality_definition: hybrid
# Release Profile Settings
release_profiles:
- type: anime
strict_negative_scores: true
tags:
- anime
- type: series
strict_negative_scores: false
filter:
include_optional: true
tags:
- tv
```
### Basic Settings
- `base_url` **(Required)**
The base URL of your Sonarr instance. Basically this is the URL you bookmark to get to the front
page.
- `api_key` **(Required)**
The API key that Trash Updater should use to synchronize settings to your instance. You can obtain
your API key by going to `Sonarr > Settings > General` and copy & paste the "API Key" under the
"Security" group/header.
### Quality Definition Settings
- `quality_definition` (Optional; *Default: No quality definitions are synced*)
The quality definition [from the TRaSH Guide's Quality Settings page][sonarr_quality] that should
be parsed and uploaded to Sonarr. Only the below values are permitted here.
- `anime` Represents the "Sonarr Quality Definitions" table specifically for Anime
- `series` Represents the "Sonarr Quality Definitions" table intended for normal TV Series.
Sometimes referred to as non-anime.
- `hybrid` A combination of both the `anime` and `series` tables that is calculated by comparing
each row and taking both the smallest minimum and largest maximum values. The purpose of the
Hybrid type is to build the most permissive quality definition that the guide will allow. It's a
good idea to use this one if you want more releases to be blocked by your release profiles
instead of quality.

### Release Profile Settings
- `release_profiles` (Optional; *Default: No release profiles are synced*)
A list of release profiles to parse from the guide. Each object in this list supports the below
properties.
- `type` **(Required)**
Must be one of the following values:
- `anime`: Parse the [Anime Release Profile][sonarr_profile_anime] page from the TRaSH Guide.
- `series`: Parse the [WEB-DL Release Profile][sonarr_profile_series] page from the TRaSH Guide.
- `strict_negative_scores` (Optional; *Default: `false`*)
Enables preferred term scores less than 0 to be instead treated as "Must Not Contain" (ignored)
terms. For example, if something is "Preferred" with a score of `-10`, it will instead be put in
the "Must Not Contains" section of the uploaded release profile. Must be `true` or `false`.
- `tags` (Optional; *Default: Empty list*)
A list of one or more strings representing tags that will be applied to this release profile.
Tags are created in Sonarr if they do not exist. All tags on an existing release profile (if
present) are removed and replaced with only the tags in this list. If no tags are specified, no
tags will be set on the release profile.
- `filter` (Optional; *Default: Determined by child properties*)
Defines various ways that release profile terms from the guide are synchronized with Sonarr. Any
combination of the below properties may be specified here:
- `include_optional` (Optional; *Default: `false`*)
Set to `true` to include terms marked "Optional" in the guide. If set to `false`, optional
terms are *not* synchronized to Sonarr.

### Basic Settings
- `base_url` **(Required)**
The base URL of your Radarr instance. Basically this is the URL you bookmark to get to the front
page.
- `api_key` **(Required)**
The API key that Trash Updater should use to synchronize settings to your instance. You can obtain
your API key by going to `Radarr > Settings > General` and copy & paste the "API Key" under the
"Security" group/header.
### Quality Definition Settings
- `quality_definition` (Optional; *Default: No quality definitions are synced*)
Specify information related to Radarr quality definition processing here. Only the following child
properties are permitted.
- `type` **(Required)**
The quality definition from the [Radarr Quality Settings (File Size)][radarr_quality] page in
the TRaSH Guides that should be parsed and uploaded to Radarr. Only the below values are
permitted here.
- `movie`: Currently the only supported type. Represents the only table on that page and is
intended for general use with all movies in Radarr.
- `preferred_ratio` (Optional; *Default: `1.0`*)
A value `0.0` to `1.0` that represents the percentage (interpolated) position of that middle
slider you see when you enable advanced settings on the Quality Definitions page in Radarr. A
value of `0.0` means the preferred quality will match the minimum quality. Likewise, `1.0` will
match the maximum quality. A value such as `0.5` will keep it halfway between the two.
Any value less than `0` or greater than `1` will result in a warning log printed and the value
will be clamped.

### Custom Format Settings
For details on the way Custom Formats are synchronized to Radarr, visit the [[Custom Format
Synchronization]] page.
- `delete_old_custom_formats` (Optional; *Default: `false`*)
If enabled, custom formats that you remove from your YAML configuration OR that are removed from
the guide will be deleted from your Radarr instance. Note that this *only* applies to custom
formats that Trash Updater has synchronized to Radarr. Custom formats that you have added manually
in Radarr **will not be deleted** if you enable this setting.
- `custom_formats` (Optional; *Default: No custom formats are synced*)
A list of one or more sets of custom format names, each with an optional set of quality profiles
names that identify which quality profiles to assign the scores for those custom formats to. The
child properties documented below apply to each element of this list.
- `names` **(Required)**
A list of one or more custom format names to synchronize to Radarr. The names *must* be taken
from the JSON itself in the guide, for example:
```json
{
"trash_id": "496f355514737f7d83bf7aa4d24f8169",
"name": "TrueHD ATMOS",
"includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": false
}
```
You take the value of `"name"` above and add it to the list of names like so:
```yml
names:
- TrueHD ATMOS
```
> **A Few Things to Remember**
>
> - If `delete_old_custom_formats` is set to true, custom formats are **deleted** in Radarr if
> you remove them from this list.
> - It's OK for the same custom format to exist in multiple lists of `names`. Trash Updater will
> only ever synchronize it once. Allowing it to be specified multiple times allows you to
> assign it to different profiles with different scores.
- `quality_profiles` (Optional; *Default: No quality profiles are changed*)
One or more quality profiles to update with the scores from the custom formats listed above.
Scores are taken from the guide by default, with an option to override the score for all of
them. Each object in the list must use the properties below.
- `name` **(Required)**
The name of one of the quality profiles in Radarr.
- `score` (Optional; *Default: Use scores from the guide*)
A positive or negative number representing the score to apply to *all* custom formats listed
in the `names` list. A score of `0` is also acceptable, which effectively disables the custom
formats without having to delete them.
