Release Profiles

Sonarr

• Not all releases are created equal, each release group has their own way of packaging and encoding their material. Here you'll be able to select the preferred releases you're looking for
• Enable Profile - Toggling this given profile on or off
• Must Contain - The release must contain at least one of these terms (case insensitive)
• Must Not Contain - The release will be rejected if it contains one or more of terms (case insensitive)
• Preferred:
  • Here you can select a given term and give it a score.
  • Example: Let's say you're looking for releases with a specific grouping of words. Let's say you want to tell Sonarr that you want Repacks or Propers over regular releases. Here you'll put the word Repack in one of the fields and give it a value (say 100) but, you're also looking for DTS-HD audio so you'll put that in there and also give it a score (say 100 again). When Sonarr goes through and looks at all the releases from the RSS feed and it comes across a release that has both Repack and DTS-HD that will give it a score of 200. Which is much higher than all the others that don't have either of those words. This tells Sonarr that this has a higher score and it will be the first file picked for download.

Note: If you're not seeing a release from a given artist then you might then you might want to create more profiles. A prime example of this is Metallica. They have 10 primary Album releases that show up under the "Standard" profile, however, if you're looking for S&M. Then you'll need to ensure that EP is selected in order to see it. Note: Be careful with with selecting everything long running artists or artists with a lot of different types of releases can make loading up a specific artist for the first time quite slow as Lidarr is pulling all the information down an example of this is if you select everything for Metallica over 600 album releases are pulled as possible downloads
