My suggestion is to create tiers of scores based on what things matter to you.
|

|

Personally I would only add the Custom Formats that do what you actually prefer especially in the beginning, including the [Releases you should avoid](#releases-you-should-avoid)

### Which overall scoring scheme do you use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Advanced Audio** 2000 for the highest with steps of 100 down.
|
|
|
|
|
- **HDR Metadata** 1000 for the highest with steps of 100 down (except for Dovi SL).
|
|
|
|
|
- **Movie Versions** 200 for the highest with steps of 10 down.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Misc** Variable depending on your use case.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Releases you should avoid** -10000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you notice that some scores are missing between the different Quality Profiles examples it's because I decided to be consistent with the scoring. Meaning a certain Custom Format has in every used Quality Profile the same score.

### Releases you should avoid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In my opinion this is a must for every Quality Profile you use, all these Custom Formats make sure you don't get Low Quality Releases.
|

Add all of the following Custom Formats as `-10000`

|
|
|

|
|
??? example "Breakdown and Why - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **BR-DISK** This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize & ignore BR-DISK (ISO's and Blu-ray folder structure) in addition to the standard BR-DISK quality.
|
|
|
|
|
- **EVO except WEB-DL** This group is often banned for the low quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DL are okay.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Low Quality Releases** A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.
|
|
|
|
|
- **720/1080p no x265** This blocks/ignores 720/1080p releases that are encoded in x265 - More info [HERE](/Misc/x265-4k/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
|
|
|
|
- **3D** Is 3D still a thing for home use ?
|
|
|
|
|
- **No-RlsGroup** 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
|
|
|
|
|
- **DoVi (WEBDL)** 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).

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