Audio and video formats let profiles reward or penalize specific technical characteristics. Whether a format boosts or blocks a release depends entirely on the score assigned to it in the quality profile — the format itself just defines what to match.Documentation Index

Video formats
Dolby Vision
Matches any release labelledDolby Vision in the release title.
HDR10+
Matches releases labelledHDR10+. Unlike HDR (which uses required: false to catch any HDR variant), HDR10+ uses required: true to match only explicit HDR10+ releases.
HDR
TheHDR format is a broad catch-all sourced from TRaSH Guides. It matches any of the following labels in the release title:
DV with HDR FallbackHDR/HDR10/HDR10+HLGPQRlsGrp (Missing HDR)— matches known-good groups whose metadata does not always include the HDR flag
SDR (no WEB-DL)
Matches 2160p releases that have no HDR flag and are not from a WEB-DL or WEBRip source. This is used to penalize SDR Blu-ray encodes at 4K, which typically look worse than their HDR counterparts. WEB-DLs are excluded from this match because many streaming services natively deliver SDR 4K and those releases are still considered valid quality sources.Audio formats
TrueHD
Matches releases containingTrueHD in the title. Negation conditions ensure releases with conflicting audio labels (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, FLAC) do not trigger a false match.
Atmos
Matches releases that includeAtmos in the title. This typically means Dolby Atmos object-based audio, which may be layered on top of TrueHD or Dolby Digital+.
DTS-X
Matches object-based DTS-X releases. Negation conditions prevent false matches against base DTS, DTS-HD HRA, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, FLAC, PCM, and Dolby Digital variants.DTS-HD MA
Matches DTS-HD Master Audio releases. Uses the same negation pattern as DTS-X to avoid conflicts with other lossless or higher-tier audio formats. A release with bothDTS-HD MA and DTS-X in the title matches DTS-X, not DTS-HD MA.
Dolby Digital +
Matches Dolby Digital Plus (EAC3) releases. Negates DTS, FLAC, PCM, TrueHD, and AAC to avoid false matches on releases that carry multiple audio tracks.AAC
Matches releases where AAC is the primary audio codec. Negates all higher-tier audio types so the format only triggers when AAC is the best audio present, not just listed as a secondary track.Surround sound channels
Two channel-count formats are included for use in profiles that want to differentiate based on surround configuration:- 5.1 Surround — matches releases labelled with 5.1 channel audio
- 7.1 Surround — matches releases labelled with 7.1 channel audio
required: false, meaning they match on the presence of the pattern without requiring anything else.
Video codecs
x265 (HD)
Matches 720p and 1080p releases encoded in x265. The format explicitly negates 2160p so that it does not affect 4K releases — x265 is standard at 4K and not penalized there.In the Movies profiles,
x265 (HD) is given a score of -10000 to block HD x265 re-encodes, which are usually lower quality than x264 at the same resolution. If you prefer x265 releases at 1080p, set the score to 0 in Profilarr.AV1
Matches releases encoded with the AV1 codec. AV1 is a modern, open codec that offers better compression than x265, but hardware decode support is still limited on older devices.Other codecs
- x264 — matches H.264/AVC releases
- VP9 — matches VP9-encoded releases (common in some YouTube rips)
- VVC — matches Versatile Video Coding (H.266) releases
- Xvid — matches older Xvid-encoded releases, typically SD
