This guide details the process of setting up and customizing quality profiles within Radarr, a media management tool, focusing on the use of "Custom Formats" to filter and prioritize video and audio releases based on user preferences and hardware capabilities. It provides specific configurations for various quality tiers like HD Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, and Remuxes, alongside guidance on avoiding low-quality or incompatible formats such as BR-DISK, upscaled content, and certain AV1 encodes. The guide also offers advice on optimizing for HDR (including Dolby Vision and HDR10+) and audio formats, considering playback device limitations like those of Apple TV.
For Radarr users, the immediate implication is that quality automation now depends as much on playback hardware as on source quality. TRaSH Guides explicitly ties profile choice to TV and player support, network bandwidth, and whether a setup can direct play HDR, Dolby Vision, or HD audio. The broader ecosystem angle is clear: Plex, Apple TV, Infuse, Roku, Nvidia Shield, and Dolby Vision profiles 5, 7, and 8 all impose different limits, so one scoring template will not fit every home theater stack. Next to watch is whether a given setup can actually direct play the profile you assign, especially around Dolby Vision and AV1.
