How to setup Quality Profiles French⧫
aka How to setup Custom Formats (French)
This guide is created and maintained by Someone said “Nice”?
Cette page est aussi disponible en Français: Guide en Français.
So what is the best way to set up the Custom Formats and which one to use with which scores to get French and English Audio?
Keep in mind that most releases are MULTi (understand DUAL audio, original and French audio) and it will be difficult to only have French audio, unless you are willing to get 720p, or you are only looking for French movies.
Regarding quality there isn’t a best setup, it depends on your setup (hardware devices) and your own personal preferences.
Some prefer high quality audio (HD Audio), others high quality video. Many prefer both.
TRaSH created a flowchart to make your decision/choices easier. Remember that this chart does not include any of the following Custom Formats and you will still need to read this guide to get MULTi releases.
Basics⧫
It is quite important that you follow and understand what is envisioned by Trash’s guide:
- Adding Custom Formats, as explained in How to import Custom Formats.
- Setting up a quality Profile to make use of the Custom Formats, as explained in How to setup Quality Profiles | Basics section.
Mandatory
The only change that is needed and mandatory for French Custom Formats to work is to set the preferred language profile for your releases to Any
.
Info
We do choose Any
for the language profile, as otherwise an English movie identified with French audio in Radarr will not be grabbed and vice-versa.
I am only interested in French subs (VOSTFR)⧫
There is two options:
Using TRaSH’s guide and Bazarr⧫
This is the preferred method.
- Set up Radarr using How to setup Quality Profiles | Which Quality Profile should you choose.
- Set up Bazarr. It will do an amazing job for getting your subtitle on every movies.
- Enjoy your movies with subs.
- (Optional) Add the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-vostfr’][‘name’] }} Custom Format with a score of
{{ radarr['cf']['french-vostfr']['trash_scores']['french-vostfr'] }}
.
Using the following examples and the VOSTFR Custom Format⧫
- Continue to read this page.
- Ignore any mention of MULTi Custom Formats.
- Add the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-vostfr’][‘name’] }} Custom Format with a score of
{{ radarr['cf']['french-vostfr']['trash_scores']['french-vostfr'] }}
.
Usages⧫
There is two ways of using those French Custom Formats, with and without the Guide’s original Group tiers (which can be found there: Collection of Custom Formats).
To illustrate this, you will see an “Original mix (optional)” section in each of the examples below. You need to understand that if you add the Custom Formats from this optional section if Radarr do not find a MULTi you will still have a good scoring for single audio.
Attention
If you use the “Original mix (optional)”. You need to understand that even if in the beginning the main focus of those French Custom Formats is to work alongside the original ones.
You could end up with a single audio release when a MULTi release exists. This is because it was not scored high enough to trump the other scoring.
Examples of Quality Profile⧫
French Audio Versions⧫
Those are all optional and only there to rename your release or to avoid a certain type of French Audio. Examples:
- You prefer VFF (including VFI and VF2) audio, in this case you will put them at
101
instead of0
. - You only want VOSTFR, in this case you will ignore any mention of MULTi Custom Formats and give the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-vostfr’][‘name’] }} Custom Format a score of
{{ radarr['cf']['french-vostfr']['trash_scores']['french-vostfr'] }}
.
Attention
It is not really recommended to put any of the VF Custom Formats (VFF, VFQ, VQ, VFB, VFI, VF2) to a negative score. Instead increase the score of your preferred audio.

Acronyms | French Explanation | English Explanation |
---|---|---|
TRUEFRENCH or VFF | Version Francophone Française (doublage réalisé en France) | Full French version (dubbing done in France) |
FRENCH or VF[1] | Version Francophone (normalement equivalent à la VFQ) | French version (normally equivalent to VFQ) |
VOF | Version Originale Française | Original French Version |
VFI | Version Francophone Internationale | International French Version |
VFQ | Version Francophone Québécoise | Canadian French Version |
VOQ | Version Original Québécoise (ex: Bon Cop, Bad Cop) | Quebec Original Version (ex: Bon Cop, Bad Cop) |
VQ | Version Québécoise (accent Québécois important, ex: Les Simpsons le film) | Quebec Version (strong Quebec accent, ex: The Simpsons movie) |
VFB | Version Francophone Belge | Belgian French Version |
VF[1-9] or FR[1-9] | Indique le nombre de doublage présent (normalement VF2 soit VFF et VFQ) | Indicates the number of dubs present (normally VF2 being VFF and VFQ) |
VOSTFR[2] | Indique que l’audio est dans la langue originale, avec des sous-titres en français. | Indicates soundtrack in the original language, with French subtitles |
- [1] VF is included under the VFQ Custom Format, but it should be noted that it was often mismatched with VFF instead of VFQ pre-2022.
- [2] It should be noted that SUBFRENCH is included in this Custom Format. However, SUB often means that the subtitle was embedded inside the picture (hardcoded). French releases tend to mix the two, leading to some VOSTFR being labelled as SUBFRENCH and SUBFRENCH as VOSTFR.
Indexers renaming in Prowlarr
Some Indexers in Prowlarr can rename MULTi
releases to MULTi.TRUEFRENCH
or MULTi.FRENCH
. It is not recommend to use such a feature along with those Custom Formats as it can lead to false positives from the VFF, VFQ and VQ Custom Formats.
MULTi definition per indexers
Some Indexers in Radarr will let you choose which audio is normally included inside a MULTi
release as an option. You should choose only Original
and French
if you decide to use it.
This option should only be used for French indexers where you are sure that MULTi
does include both Original
and French
audio. Doing so in more “international” indexers can create to false positive with the French Audio CFs.

- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘br-disk’][‘name’] }} : 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.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘3d’][‘name’] }}: Is 3D still a thing for home use ?
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘lq’][‘name’] }}: A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-lq’][‘name’] }}: A collection of known Low Quality French groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.

Optional - [Click to show/hide]
This includes optional Custom Formats made by Trash for the original guide. Please be sure to understand what those do before adding them. Moreover, it includes two Custom Formats you may use at your own risk if you want MULTi:
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}, which can be controversial for people looking for MULTi release. I encourage you to not use it.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}, it may include Scene groups already in {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-scene’][‘name’] }} Custom Format. Which is used for fallback to be sure to get a MULTi release.

Breakdown and Why
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It’s a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese. - {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘evo-no-webdl’][‘name’] }}: This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘no-rlsgroup’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as “upgrades” and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘obfuscated’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘retags’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group’s release.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-no-hdrdv’][‘name’] }}: This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won’t be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:
{{ radarr['cf']['x265-no-hdrdv']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
Don’t use this together with {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-hd’][‘name’] }}, Only ever include one of them
TRaSH recommendations⧫
I suggest to follow the following Guides first.
For this Quality Profile we’re going to make use of the following Custom Formats with the scores given in the table.
Attention
All the used scores and combination of Custom Formats in this Guide are tested to get the desired results and prevent download loops as much as possible.
From experience most of the time when people change scores or leave out certain CF that work together they end up with undesired results.
If you’re unsure or have questions do not hesitate to ask for help on Discord
Getting the movie name in French in the file and/or folder name
Following the recommended naming scheme for your library, whether it’s Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby, you can add the ISO-2 language code at the end of the movie name tag to display the movie name in the desired language.
The tag should look like the following: {Movie CleanTitle:fr}
. This work in both Folder and File name.
HD Bluray + WEB⧫
If you prefer High Quality HD Encodes (Bluray-720/1080p)
- Size: 6-15 GB for a Bluray-1080p depending on the running time.

Breakdown and Why - [Click to show/hide]
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize MULTi audio releases.
Tip
You can safely replace the original {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi’][‘name’] }} Custom Format from the Guide with it.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format that will rename your file with
Multi-French
.
How it works
When Radarr finds a release with MULTi
, it will allocate a {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score to it thanks to the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}. Allowing the release to keep the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score from the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} Custom Format.

(default) or 0

Breakdown and Why
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It’s a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese. - {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘evo-no-webdl’][‘name’] }}: This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘no-rlsgroup’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as “upgrades” and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘obfuscated’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘retags’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group’s release.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-no-hdrdv’][‘name’] }}: This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won’t be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:
{{ radarr['cf']['x265-no-hdrdv']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
Don’t use this together with {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-hd’][‘name’] }}, Only ever include one of them

Breakdown and Why
- The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of
0
is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred. BCore
,CRiT
andMA
are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
Audio Advanced
Custom Formats are not included to the encodes profile, as you will hardly find HD audio with HD Bluray Encodes. With HD Bluray Encodes it is suggested to go for quality. If you also want HD audio formats you should go for the Remuxes or UHD Encodes.
Use the following main settings in your profile.
Make sure you don’t check the BR-DISK.
The reason why WEB-DL 720p is not selected is because you will hardly find any releases that aren’t done as 1080p WEB-DL.
Info
The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.
Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.
- Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.
- Qualities within the same group are equal.
- Only checked qualities are wanted.
This is why it’s recommended to move the selected quality to the top of the list.
Workflow Logic - [Click to show/hide]
- When the WEB-1080p is released it will download the WEB-1080p. (streaming services)
- When the Bluray-1080p is released it will upgrade to the Bluray-1080p.
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of
10000
.
UHD Bluray + WEB⧫
If you prefer High Quality UHD Encodes (Bluray-2160p)
- Size: 20-60 GB for a Bluray-2160p depending on the running time.
Information regarding HD audio
It should be noted that many problems can arise from this profile if you use the HD audio Custom Formats, as:
- French Scene rules assert that the French audio should be the first (default) audio in a MULTi release.
- The rules state that only the best audio (whether original or FR) should be mentioned in the title.
- Some movies (and TV shows, mostly from the pre-streaming era) lack an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.
Resulting in the following:
- The quality of the audio in the release’s title could not be the French one.
- The French audio could be of lesser quality than the titled one.
- Radarr will only score pre-import audio by the release title. Post-import by the release’s first (default) audio (after ffprobe).
- The final score for the release can be lower than the pre-import.
Tip
This is why the Group tiers exist; it tries to get hold of the groups that tend to get the best original and French audio for a release. However, it is not infallible, and, once again, a movie may not have an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.

Add the audio custom formats only if
- You have an audio setup that supports ALL HD Audio (TrueHD, DTS-X, DTS-HD, etc). If you have a setup that only supports a few audio formats or doesn’t support certain audio formats (or using only your TV speakers), it’s recommended not to add any audio custom formats; else, you will limit yourself too much in what you’re able to grab. Audio transcoding has a low impact on your server. If your server can’t handle audio transcoding, you might consider choosing another quality profile.
- You have a media player (hardware devices) that can passthrough HD audio.
- You don’t have a AppleTV (Being it can’t passthrough untouched audio).

All HDR Formats - [Click to show/hide]
Why would I choose All HDR formats?
-
You have a 4K/2160p TV and a hardware media player device (such as Roku, AppleTV, Shield, SmartTV App, etc.) that supports several HDR formats (such as Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, etc.).
Plex for Apple TV and Plex with Infuse is only capable of playing Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8 correctly if CMv2.9 is being used.
This is something that cannot be determined beforehand.
So whether you are using an Apple TV, with or without Infuse, it will always be hit or miss whether the content is compatible.
Additionally, it is uncertain whether the Dolby Vision layer will play, fall back to HDR10, or encounter a black screen. -
You’ve chosen a profile that includes 4K/2160p releases. You must use all the HDR formats with 4k/2160p profiles.
- You must add ALL the HDR formats - don’t leave any of them out!
Why am I getting purple or green colors? - [Click to show/hide]
Why am I getting purple or green colors?
There are several possible reasons why your TV would show purple or green colors when playing Dolby Vision content.
-
Unsupported Hardware: Your TV or hardware media player device (Roku, AppleTV, etc) doesn’t support Dolby Vision or your hardware media player device doesn’t support all the Dolby Vision Profiles. As a result, the device might struggle to produce accurate colors, leading to a purple or green tint.
-
Incorrect Display Settings: Dolby Vision content often requires specific settings to be enabled on your TV or display device in order to deliver the intended visual experience. If these settings are not configured properly, it can result in the device showing distorted colors (including purple or green hues).
-
HDMI Compatibility Issues: Sometimes, HDMI cables or ports may not be fully compatible with Dolby Vision. If the media player device is not recognizing the Dolby Vision signal properly, it may fail to process the content correctly, resulting in abnormal color rendering.
To resolve the purple or green color issues when playing Dolby Vision content, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure your TV or hardware media player device is Dolby Vision compatible and up-to-date with the latest firmware.
- Verify that your TV or display device is set up correctly and has the necessary Dolby Vision settings enabled.
- Check the HDMI cables and ensure they are capable of transmitting Dolby Vision signals.
Dolby Vision Profiles - [Click to show/hide]
Dolby Vision Profiles
- Profile 5 (1) - This is what comes with WEB-DL Dolby Vision releases without HDR10 fallback.
(Incompatible devices will playback with blown out pinks and greens) - Profile 7 (2) - This is what comes with UHD Bluray Remuxes and UHD BluRay releases.
These files will play on an Nvidia Shield Pro (2019), but on most other players will revert to the HDR10 fallback. - Profile 8 (3) - This is what comes with (Hybrid) WEB-DL (HULU), Hybrid UHD Remux, and UHD BluRay releases (all of which have HDR10 fallback).
This works with several mainstream media players.
Plex for Apple TV and Plex with Infuse is only capable of playing Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8 correctly if CMv2.9 is being used.
This is something that cannot be determined beforehand.
So whether you are using an Apple TV, with or without Infuse, it will always be hit or miss whether the content is compatible.
Additionally, it is uncertain whether the Dolby Vision layer will play, fall back to HDR10, or encounter a black screen.
- (1) PLEX for AppleTV and Plex with Infuse will only play profile 5 correctly if CMv2.9 is used
- (2) Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7.
- (3) On PLEX for AppleTV it won’t deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 8, and will only play the HDR10 fallback if CM2.9 is used, otherwise you will end up with a black screen
“although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV”.
With infuse it will convert it on the fly to Profile 5, and deliver real Dolby Vision if CMv2.9 is used, otherwise you will end up with a black screen
“Make sure you set the Extended Dolby Vision settings to Limited (prefer accuracy), Convert P8 to P5 (when possible), and play other P8 as HDR (output will switch to either DoVi or HDR depending on the video)”
Dolby Vision Versions - CMv2.9 and CMv4.0 - [Click to show/hide]
It is too technical to explain in detail, so I’ll keep it short with tested facts:
PLEX for AppleTV and Plex with Infuse only support CMv2.9.
There are two versions of Dolby Vision, namely CMv2.9 and CMv4.0. CMv4.0 uses an improved algorithm and a superior tone curve that allows for better mapping and more controls during the Dolby Vision trim pass process.

{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize MULTi audio releases.
Tip
You can safely replace the original {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi’][‘name’] }} Custom Format from the Guide with it.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format that will rename your file with
Multi-French
.
How it works
When Radarr finds a release with MULTi
, it will allocate a {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score to it thanks to the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}. Allowing the release to keep the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score from the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} Custom Format.

French Scene groups are included as a fallback if you really want MULTi release despite a potential loss in quality. Either score the CF to {{ radarr['cf']['french-scene']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
(default) or 0

This includes optional Custom Formats made by Trash for the original guide. Please be sure to understand what those do before adding them. Moreover, it includes two Custom Formats you may use at your own risk if you want MULTi:
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}, which can be controversial for people looking for MULTi release. I encourage you to not use it.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}, it may include Scene groups already in {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-scene’][‘name’] }} Custom Format. Which is used for fallback to be sure to get a MULTi release.

Breakdown and Why
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It’s a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese. - {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘evo-no-webdl’][‘name’] }}: This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘no-rlsgroup’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as “upgrades” and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘obfuscated’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘retags’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group’s release.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-no-hdrdv’][‘name’] }}: This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won’t be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:
{{ radarr['cf']['x265-no-hdrdv']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
Don’t use this together with {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-hd’][‘name’] }}, Only ever include one of them

Breakdown and Why
- The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of
0
is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred. BCore
,CRiT
andMA
are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
Use the following main settings in your profile.
Make sure you don’t check the BR-DISK.
Info
The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.
Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.
- Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.
- Qualities within the same group are equal.
- Only checked qualities are wanted.
This is why it’s recommended to move the selected quality to the top of the list.
Workflow Logic - [Click to show/hide]
Depending what’s released first and available the following Workflow Logic will be used:
- When the WEB-2160p is released it will download the WEB-2160p. (streaming services)
- When the Bluray-2160p is released it will upgrade to the Bluray-2160p.
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of
10000
.
Remux + WEB 1080p⧫
If you prefer 1080p Remuxes (Remux-1080p)
- Size: 20-40 GB for a Remux-1080p depending on the running time.
Information regarding HD audio
It should be noted that many problems can arise from this profile if you use the HD audio Custom Formats, as:
- French Scene rules assert that the French audio should be the first (default) audio in a MULTi release.
- The rules state that only the best audio (whether original or FR) should be mentioned in the title.
- Some movies (and TV shows, mostly from the pre-streaming era) lack an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.
Resulting in the following:
- The quality of the audio in the release’s title could not be the French one.
- The French audio could be of lesser quality than the titled one.
- Radarr will only score pre-import audio by the release title. Post-import by the release’s first (default) audio (after ffprobe).
- The final score for the release can be lower than the pre-import.
Tip
This is why the Group tiers exist; it tries to get hold of the groups that tend to get the best original and French audio for a release. However, it is not infallible, and, once again, a movie may not have an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.
Audio - [Click to show/hide]
Add the audio custom formats only if
- You have an audio setup that supports ALL HD Audio (TrueHD, DTS-X, DTS-HD, etc). If you have a setup that only supports a few audio formats or doesn’t support certain audio formats (or using only your TV speakers), it’s recommended not to add any audio custom formats; else, you will limit yourself too much in what you’re able to grab. Audio transcoding has a low impact on your server. If your server can’t handle audio transcoding, you might consider choosing another quality profile.
- You have a media player (hardware devices) that can passthrough HD audio.
- You don’t have a AppleTV (Being it can’t passthrough untouched audio).

-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize MULTi audio releases.
Tip
You can safely replace the original {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi’][‘name’] }} Custom Format from the Guide with it.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format that will rename your file with
Multi-French
.
How it works
When Radarr finds a release with MULTi
, it will allocate a {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score to it thanks to the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}. Allowing the release to keep the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score from the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} Custom Format.

Breakdown and Why
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It’s a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese. - {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘evo-no-webdl’][‘name’] }}: This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘no-rlsgroup’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as “upgrades” and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘obfuscated’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘retags’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group’s release.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-no-hdrdv’][‘name’] }}: This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won’t be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:

Breakdown and Why
- The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of
0
is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred. BCore
,CRiT
andMA
are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
Use the following main settings in your profile.
Make sure you don’t check the BR-DISK.
The reason why I didn’t select the WEB-DL 720p is because you will hardly find any releases that aren’t done as 1080p WEB-DL.
Info
The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.
Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.
- Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.
- Qualities within the same group are equal.
- Only checked qualities are wanted.
This is why it’s recommended to move the selected quality to the top of the list.
Workflow Logic - [Click to show/hide]
- When the WEB-1080p is released it will download the WEB-1080p. (streaming services)
- When the REMUX-1080p is released it will upgrade to the REMUX-1080p.
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of
10000
.
Remux + WEB 2160p⧫
If you prefer 2160p Remuxes (Remux-2160p)
- Size: 40-100 GB for a Remux-2160p depending on the running time.
Information regarding HD audio
It should be noted that many problems can arise from this profile if you use the HD audio Custom Formats, as:
- French Scene rules assert that the French audio should be the first (default) audio in a MULTi release.
- The rules state that only the best audio (whether original or FR) should be mentioned in the title.
- Some movies (and TV shows, mostly from the pre-streaming era) lack an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.
Resulting in the following:
- The quality of the audio in the release’s title could not be the French one.
- The French audio could be of lesser quality than the titled one.
- Radarr will only score pre-import audio by the release title. Post-import by the release’s first (default) audio (after ffprobe).
- The final score for the release can be lower than the pre-import.
Tip
This is why the Group tiers exist; it tries to get hold of the groups that tend to get the best original and French audio for a release. However, it is not infallible, and, once again, a movie may not have an equivalent FR audio track to the original audio’s highest one.
Audio - [Click to show/hide]
Add the audio custom formats only if
- You have an audio setup that supports ALL HD Audio (TrueHD, DTS-X, DTS-HD, etc). If you have a setup that only supports a few audio formats or doesn’t support certain audio formats (or using only your TV speakers), it’s recommended not to add any audio custom formats; else, you will limit yourself too much in what you’re able to grab. Audio transcoding has a low impact on your server. If your server can’t handle audio transcoding, you might consider choosing another quality profile.
- You have a media player (hardware devices) that can passthrough HD audio.
- You don’t have a AppleTV (Being it can’t passthrough untouched audio).

All HDR Formats - [Click to show/hide]
Why would I choose All HDR formats?
-
You have a 4K/2160p TV and a hardware media player device (such as Roku, AppleTV, Shield, SmartTV App, etc.) that supports several HDR formats (such as Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, etc.).
Plex for Apple TV and Plex with Infuse is only capable of playing Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8 correctly if CMv2.9 is being used.
This is something that cannot be determined beforehand.
So whether you are using an Apple TV, with or without Infuse, it will always be hit or miss whether the content is compatible.
Additionally, it is uncertain whether the Dolby Vision layer will play, fall back to HDR10, or encounter a black screen. -
You’ve chosen a profile that includes 4K/2160p releases. You must use all the HDR formats with 4k/2160p profiles.
- You must add ALL the HDR formats - don’t leave any of them out!
Why am I getting purple or green colors? - [Click to show/hide]
Why am I getting purple or green colors?
There are several possible reasons why your TV would show purple or green colors when playing Dolby Vision content.
-
Unsupported Hardware: Your TV or hardware media player device (Roku, AppleTV, etc) doesn’t support Dolby Vision or your hardware media player device doesn’t support all the Dolby Vision Profiles. As a result, the device might struggle to produce accurate colors, leading to a purple or green tint.
-
Incorrect Display Settings: Dolby Vision content often requires specific settings to be enabled on your TV or display device in order to deliver the intended visual experience. If these settings are not configured properly, it can result in the device showing distorted colors (including purple or green hues).
-
HDMI Compatibility Issues: Sometimes, HDMI cables or ports may not be fully compatible with Dolby Vision. If the media player device is not recognizing the Dolby Vision signal properly, it may fail to process the content correctly, resulting in abnormal color rendering.
To resolve the purple or green color issues when playing Dolby Vision content, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure your TV or hardware media player device is Dolby Vision compatible and up-to-date with the latest firmware.
- Verify that your TV or display device is set up correctly and has the necessary Dolby Vision settings enabled.
- Check the HDMI cables and ensure they are capable of transmitting Dolby Vision signals.
Dolby Vision Profiles - [Click to show/hide]
Dolby Vision Profiles
- Profile 5 (1) - This is what comes with WEB-DL Dolby Vision releases without HDR10 fallback.
(Incompatible devices will playback with blown out pinks and greens) - Profile 7 (2) - This is what comes with UHD Bluray Remuxes and UHD BluRay releases.
These files will play on an Nvidia Shield Pro (2019), but on most other players will revert to the HDR10 fallback. - Profile 8 (3) - This is what comes with (Hybrid) WEB-DL (HULU), Hybrid UHD Remux, and UHD BluRay releases (all of which have HDR10 fallback).
This works with several mainstream media players.
Plex for Apple TV and Plex with Infuse is only capable of playing Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8 correctly if CMv2.9 is being used.
This is something that cannot be determined beforehand.
So whether you are using an Apple TV, with or without Infuse, it will always be hit or miss whether the content is compatible.
Additionally, it is uncertain whether the Dolby Vision layer will play, fall back to HDR10, or encounter a black screen.
- (1) PLEX for AppleTV and Plex with Infuse will only play profile 5 correctly if CMv2.9 is used
- (2) Neither Infuse nor PLEX for AppleTV will deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 7.
- (3) On PLEX for AppleTV it won’t deliver real Dolby Vision with Profile 8, and will only play the HDR10 fallback if CM2.9 is used, otherwise you will end up with a black screen
“although your TV will incorrectly say that it is playing DV”.
With infuse it will convert it on the fly to Profile 5, and deliver real Dolby Vision if CMv2.9 is used, otherwise you will end up with a black screen
“Make sure you set the Extended Dolby Vision settings to Limited (prefer accuracy), Convert P8 to P5 (when possible), and play other P8 as HDR (output will switch to either DoVi or HDR depending on the video)”
Dolby Vision Versions - CMv2.9 and CMv4.0 - [Click to show/hide]
It is too technical to explain in detail, so I’ll keep it short with tested facts:
PLEX for AppleTV and Plex with Infuse only support CMv2.9.
There are two versions of Dolby Vision, namely CMv2.9 and CMv4.0. CMv4.0 uses an improved algorithm and a superior tone curve that allows for better mapping and more controls during the Dolby Vision trim pass process.
More info about the different Dolby Vision Versions: Dolby Vision Versions - CMv2.9 vs. CMv4.0

-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize MULTi audio releases.
Tip
You can safely replace the original {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi’][‘name’] }} Custom Format from the Guide with it.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-audio’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format to help Radarr recognize release with French audio. It is optional and only gives a small boost if the release indeed possesses French audio.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}: This is a custom format that will rename your file with
Multi-French
.
How it works
When Radarr finds a release with MULTi
, it will allocate a {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score to it thanks to the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} custom format. If the release contains at least both the original audio and French audio, it will be renamed by the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-french’][‘name’] }}. Allowing the release to keep the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘trash_scores’][‘default’] }} score from the {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘multi-audio’][‘name’] }} Custom Format.

Tip
French Scene groups are included as a fallback if you really want MULTi release despite a potential loss in quality. Either score the CF to {{ radarr['cf']['french-scene']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
(default) or 0
depending on what you want to achieve.

- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘3d’][‘name’] }}: Is 3D still a thing for home use ?
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘lq’][‘name’] }}: A collection of known Low Quality groups that are often banned from the the top trackers because the lack of quality or other reasons.

This includes optional Custom Formats made by Trash for the original guide. Please be sure to understand what those do before adding them. Moreover, it includes two Custom Formats you may use at your own risk if you want MULTi:
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}, which can be controversial for people looking for MULTi release. I encourage you to not use it.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}, it may include Scene groups already in {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘french-scene’][‘name’] }} Custom Format. Which is used for fallback to be sure to get a MULTi release.

Breakdown and Why
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘bad-dual-groups’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] These groups take the original release and add their own language track (e.g. AAC 2.0 Portuguese) as the first track. Afterward, FFprobe would determine that the media file is Portuguese. It’s a common rule that you only add the best audio as the main track.
Also they often even rename the release name into Portuguese. - {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘evo-no-webdl’][‘name’] }}: This group is often banned for low-quality Blu-ray releases, but their WEB-DLs are okay.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘no-rlsgroup’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Some indexers strip out the release group which could result in LQ groups being scored incorrectly. For example, a lot of EVO releases end up with a stripped group name. These releases would appear as “upgrades” and could end up getting a decent score after other CFs are scored.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘obfuscated’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use these only if you wish to avoid renamed releases.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘retags’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this if you want to avoid retagged releases. Retagged releases often are not consistent with the quality of the original group’s release.
- {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘scene’][‘name’] }}: [Optional] Use this only if you want to avoid SCENE releases.
-
{{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-no-hdrdv’][‘name’] }}: This blocks 720/1080p (HD) releases that are encoded in x265. - More info HERE.
But it will allow x265 releases if they have HDR and/or DV
Being that some NF releases won’t be released as 4k, but you want to have DV/HDR releases.
In your quality profile use the following score for this Custom Format:
{{ radarr['cf']['x265-no-hdrdv']['trash_scores']['default'] }}
Don’t use this together with {{ radarr[‘cf’][‘x265-hd’][‘name’] }}, Only ever include one of them

Breakdown and Why
- The reason why these Custom Formats have a score of
0
is because they are mainly used for the naming scheme and other variables should decide for movies if a certain release if preferred. BCore
,CRiT
andMA
are the only ones with a score because of their better source material, or higher bitrate and quality compared to other streaming services.
Use the following main settings in your profile.
Make sure you don’t check the BR-DISK.
Info
The order listed in the profile matters even if a quality is not checked, for example if you have a 1080p version but wanted the SD version, Radarr will reject all SD results because 1080p is listed higher than SD even though 1080p was not checked.
Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches.
- Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked.
- Qualities within the same group are equal.
- Only checked qualities are wanted.
This is why it’s recommended to move the selected quality to the top of the list.
Workflow Logic - [Click to show/hide]
- When the WEB-2160p is released it will download the WEB-2160p. (streaming services)
- When the REMUX-2160p is released it will upgrade to the REMUX-2160p.
- The downloaded media will be upgraded to any of the added Custom Formats until a score of
10000
.
