The Dumpstarr Database does not maintain its own release group tier lists. Instead, it pulls them directly from the Dictionarry-Hub/database repository and syncs them into the local regex_patterns/ files on a daily schedule.
How it works
A GitHub Actions workflow runs every day at midnight UTC (cron: "0 0 * * *"). It:
- Checks out the
stable branch of the Dumpstarr Database.
- Downloads the latest source YAML files from the
stable branch of Dictionarry-Hub/database.
- Runs a Python sync script that merges the downloaded group lists into the local regex pattern files.
- Commits and pushes any changes back to the
stable branch.
All synced changes land on the stable branch. This is the branch Profilarr users point at, so updates are available on the next Profilarr sync without any manual action.

workflow_dispatch:
workflow_dispatch trigger also allows the sync to be run manually from the GitHub Actions UI at any time.
What gets synced
The workflow maintains a JSON file map that defines which Dictionarry source file maps to which local regex_patterns/ file. The full mapping covers:
| Category | Tiers synced |
|---|
| WEB | Tiers 01 – 05 |
| 480p Bluray | Tiers 01 – 04 |
| 576p Bluray | Tiers 01 – 04 |
| 720p Bluray | Tiers 01 – 06 |
| 1080p (HD) Bluray | Tiers 01 – 06 |
| 2160p (UHD) Bluray | Tiers 01 – 06 |
| Remux | Tiers 01 – 04 |

Users don’t need to do anything. Profilarr pulls the updated database on its next scheduled sync, so your Radarr and Sonarr instances always reflect the latest Dictionarry tier lists automatically.
Do not manually edit any regex_patterns/Dictionarry *.yml files. They are overwritten by the daily sync workflow and any manual changes will be lost.
