Profilarr is the tool that reads the Dumpstarr Database and pushes your quality profiles and custom formats to Radarr and Sonarr via their APIs.If you haven’t set up Profilarr yet, follow the Profilarr installation guide before continuing.Once installed, open the Profilarr web interface in your browser.
Add the Dumpstarr Database repository
In Profilarr, navigate to the Database section and add the Dumpstarr Database as a repository source.Use this GitHub URL:Profilarr will clone the repository and make all profiles and custom formats available to import. Release group tiers sync automatically from Dictionarry on a daily schedule, so your tier lists stay up to date without any manual work.
Select and import a profile
Browse the available profiles and select the one that matches your media type and resolution. See Profile Selection if you’re unsure which to pick.Recommended profiles for most users:
Import the profile into Profilarr. This loads the quality profile definition, all custom format scores, and quality group ordering into Profilarr’s local configuration.
| Profile | Media | minCustomFormatScore |
|---|---|---|
| Movies 1080p | Radarr | 750 |
| Movies 2160p | Radarr | 1000 |
| TV 1080p | Sonarr | 0 |
| TV 2160p | Sonarr | 0 |
For TV show profiles (TV 1080p and TV 2160p), the
minCustomFormatScore is set to 0 by design — release group scores drive selection, not a minimum threshold. However, you should configure a delay profile in Sonarr to avoid grabbing low-quality releases that appear immediately after a show airs. A delay of 60 minutes is a reasonable default. See Sonarr delay profile settings for setup instructions.Apply to Radarr or Sonarr
