Various scenarios supported using flexible configuration structure:

Update as much as possible in both Sonarr and Radarr with a single config
Selectively update different parts of Sonarr
Update multiple Sonarr instances in a single YAML config
Synchronize a lot of custom formats for a single quality profile
Manually assign different scores to multiple custom formats
Assign custom format scores the same way to multiple quality profiles

Update as much as possible in both Sonarr and Radarr with a single config

Create a single configuration file (use the default trash.yml if you want to simplify your CLI usage by not being required to specify --config) and put all of the configuration in there, like this:

sonarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:8989
    api_key: f7e74ba6c80046e39e076a27af5a8444
    quality_definition: hybrid
    release_profiles:
      - type: anime
        strict_negative_scores: true
        tags:
          - anime
      - type: series
        strict_negative_scores: false
        tags:
          - tv

radarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: bf99da49d0b0488ea34e4464aa63a0e5
    quality_definition:
      type: movie
      preferred_ratio: 0.5

Even though it's all in one file, Radarr settings are ignored when you run trash sonarr and vice versa. To update both, just chain them together in your terminal, like so:

trash sonarr && trash radarr

This scenario is pretty ideal for a cron job you have running regularly and you want it to update everything possible in one go.

Selectively update different parts of Sonarr

Say you want to update Sonarr release profiles from the guide, but not the quality definitions. There's no command line option to control this, so how do you do it?

Simply create two YAML files:

sonarr-release-profiles.yml:

sonarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:8989
    api_key: f7e74ba6c80046e39e076a27af5a8444
    release_profiles:
      - type: anime
        tags:
          - anime

sonarr-quality-definition.yml:

sonarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:8989
    api_key: f7e74ba6c80046e39e076a27af5a8444
    quality_definition: hybrid

Then run the following command:

trash sonarr --config sonarr-release-profiles.yml

This will only update release profiles since you have essentially moved the quality_definition property to its own file. When you want to update both, you just specify both files the next time you run the program:

trash sonarr --config sonarr-release-profiles.yml sonarr-quality-definition.yml

Update multiple Sonarr instances in a single YAML config

If you have two instances of Sonarr that you'd like to update from a single run of the updater using one YAML file, you can do that by simply specifying both in the list under the sonarr property:

sonarr:
  - base_url: http://instance_one:8989
    api_key: f7e74ba6c80046e39e076a27af5a8444
    quality_definition: anime
    release_profiles:
      - type: anime
  - base_url: http://instance_two:8989
    api_key: bf99da49d0b0488ea34e4464aa63a0e5
    quality_definition: series
    release_profiles:
      - type: series

In the example above, two separate instances, each with its own API key, will be updated. One instance is for Anime only. The other is for Series (TV) only. And since I'm using two instances, I don't bother with tags, so I am able to leave those elements out.

When you run trash sonarr (specify --config if you aren't using the default trash.yml) it will update both instances.

You can also split theses two instances across different YAML files if you do not want both to update at the same time. There's an example of how to do that in a different section of this page.

Synchronize a lot of custom formats for a single quality profile

I want to be able to synchronize a list of custom formats to Radarr. In addition, I want the scores in the guide to be applied to a single quality profile.

radarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: 87674e2c316645ed85696a91a3d41988

    custom_formats:
      # Advanced Audio from the guide
      - names:
          - TrueHD ATMOS
          - DTS X
          - ATMOS (undefined)
          - DD+ ATMOS
          - TrueHD
          - DTS-HD MA
          - FLAC
          - PCM
          - DTS-HD HRA
          - DD+
          - DTS-ES
          - DTS
          - AAC
          - DD
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD

Manually assign different scores to multiple custom formats

I want to synchronize custom formats to Radarr. I also do not want to use the scores in the guide. Instead, I want to assign my own distinct score to each custom format in a single quality profile.

radarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: 87674e2c316645ed85696a91a3d41988

    custom_formats:
      - names: [TrueHD ATMOS]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 100
      - names: [DTS X]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 200
      - names: [ATMOS (undefined)]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 300
      - names: [TrueHD]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 400
      - names: [DTS-HD MA]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 500
      - names: [FLAC]
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 600

The configuration is structured around assigning multiple custom formats the same way to just a few quality profiles. It starts to look more redundant and ugly when you want fine-grained control over the scores, especially if its on a per-single-custom-format basis.

Assign custom format scores the same way to multiple quality profiles

You can assign custom format scores (from the guide) to multiple profiles (all the same way):

radarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: 87674e2c316645ed85696a91a3d41988

    custom_formats:
      - names:
          - TrueHD ATMOS
          - DTS X
          - ATMOS (undefined)
          - DD+ ATMOS
          - TrueHD
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
          - name: Ultra-HD

Quality profiles named HD and Ultra-HD will all receive the same scores for the same custom formats.

You can also choose to override the score (for all custom formats!) in one profile:

radarr:
  - base_url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: 87674e2c316645ed85696a91a3d41988

    custom_formats:
      - names:
          - TrueHD ATMOS
          - DTS X
          - ATMOS (undefined)
          - DD+ ATMOS
          - TrueHD
        quality_profiles:
          - name: SD
            score: 100 # This score is assigned to all 5 CFs in this profile
          - name: Ultra-HD # Still uses scores from the guide
