Source types
Source type formats match the origin of the video encode rather than a specific release group. They are used by tier formats as one of the qualifying conditions, and can also be scored independently in profiles.
| Format | Source type | Description |
|---|
| WEB-DL | web_dl | Direct download from a streaming service; no re-encoding |
| WEBRip | webrip | Captured or re-encoded from a streaming source |
| Remux | release_title pattern Remux | Lossless untouched Blu-ray rip, identified by title pattern |
| Bluray | bluray | Encoded from physical Blu-ray disc |

WEBRip
WEBRip is a capture or re-encode from a streaming service. Unlike WEB-DL, it involves some form of conversion that can affect quality and file size. The format description explains the distinction:
name: WEBRip
description: >-
A WEBRip is a video file created by capturing and potentially re-encoding
content from streaming services or web platforms. Unlike Web-DLs which are
direct downloads of the source file, WEBRips involve some form of capture
or conversion process, which can affect quality and file size.

Remux
The Remux format matches remux releases identified by their title rather than source type (Radarr and Sonarr handle remux detection differently — see Release group tiers for details on the Radarr/Sonarr-specific remux tier formats).
name: Remux
description: Matches Remux as a codec, not a source. Either h265 or h264.
tags:

Streaming service formats identify which platform a WEB-DL or WEBRip originates from. They match a service-specific pattern in the release title combined with a WEB source type.
In TV profiles, streaming service formats are each scored 75 to give a moderate boost to releases from known services over unidentified WEB sources.
All streaming service formats match both web_dl and webrip sources (with required: false), so an encode from a known service still gets the boost even if it is a WEBRip rather than a direct WEB-DL.

Two aggregate boost formats give an extra score bump to streaming services known for high-quality UHD output.
UHD Streaming Boost
