- Skip Indented Line: This Guide is Created and Maintained by [Visorask/Visorak](https://github.com/Visorask)
- Skip Indented Line: It's recommended to run 2 Sonarr's 1 for Anime and 1 for normal tv shows, or you can make use of tags.
- Skip Indented Line: Being that release profiles are global without the use of a tag.
- Skip Indented Line: If you have issues with sonarr picking up a bunch of:
- Skip Indented Line: - NCED
- Skip Indented Line: - NCOP
- Skip Indented Line: - Music Videos
- Skip Indented Line: - OP's
- Skip Indented Line: Then this script (linux based only) will delete these files and get rid of them and you don't have to worry about them cluttering up your Auto or Manual import process.
- Skip Indented Line: ```bash
- Skip Indented Line: #!/usr/bin/env bash
- Skip Indented Line: # Set the following location to your completed download location for Anime.
- Skip Indented Line: # Usually one of the following paths:
- Skip Indented Line: # Dockers => /data/{usenet|torrents}/anime
- Skip Indented Line: # Cloudbox => /mnt/local/downloads/nzbs/nzbget/completed/sonarranime
- Skip Indented Line: location="/your/download/path/here"
- Skip Indented Line: find $location -type f \( -iname "*op[0-9]*" -o -iname "*nced*" -o -iname "*ncop*" -o -iname "*music video*" \) -exec rm -rf {} \;
- Skip Indented Line: ```
- Skip Indented Line: This script will be called through a custom connection in sonarr.
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Copy the contents of the script into whatever filepath sonarr has access to (`/config/app/` or `/appdata/sonarr/scripts`)
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Edit the `location="/your/download/path/here"` and make sure it's in quotes.
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Then save it and chmod +x the script.
- Skip Indented Line: 1. In Sonarr go to `Settings` => `Connect` => Click on the `+` Symbol => and select `Custom Script`
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Change Name to whatever you like.
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Select `On Grab` and `On Import`.
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Click the Folder icon or type in the path to the script you chose earlier.
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: Now when you download or import any files the script will run and clear out those files that you most likely won't use and if you want them well this script isn't for you.
- Skip Indented Line: There a few settings which make life a lot easier when tracking down and keeping certain information for your Anime and with tweaks to make it work better with [HamaAgent](https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} for plex.
- Skip Indented Line: Single Episode:
- Skip Indented Line: `The Series Title! (2010) - S01E01 - 001 - Episode Title 1 [AMZN WEBDL-1080p v2][HDR][10bit][x264][DTS 5.1][FLAC][JA]-RlsGrp`
- Skip Indented Line: Multi Episode:
- Skip Indented Line: `The Series Title! (2010) - S01E01-E02-E03 - 001-002-003 - Episode Title [AMZN WEBDL-1080p v2][HDR][10bit][x264][DTS 5.1][FLAC][JA]-RlsGrp`
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: 1. We need to open `Settings -> Indexers`
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Select the Indexer(s) you would like to use for `Anime`
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Select the dropdown for `Anime Categories`.
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Select the `Anime` category.
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: 1. Click outside the pop-up modal but inside the `Add Indexer` modal.
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: Check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming` where applicable and add `{Preferred Words}` to your renaming scheme else you could get a download loop issues!!!
- Skip Indented Line: We're going to make use of **2** separate release profiles.
- Skip Indented Line: **DO** Check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming` on this release profile.
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: When done it should look something like this:
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: **DO NOT** Check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming`
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: If you would like `dub` releases then remove the last 2 lines and do not add them.
- Skip Indented Line: 2 lines in one grouping is just there for readability purposes but achieves the same result and score.
- Skip Indented Line: This is set to **501** so that it may jump 1 tier if need be but not more.
- Skip Indented Line: These next few are optional but they are here to move releases up over lower tiers of `1080/720p` or `WEB-DL/Blu-Ray`. Will add another note like this to end the optional section.
- Skip Indented Line: We are adding this as **100** so that any unknown `Blu-Ray` can jump tiers inside the Subs categories but not interfere with any tiers above.
- Skip Indented Line: This is the end of the optional section.
- Skip Indented Line: These are extra parameters that can help and are not needed but are nice to have. They are set low mainly to supercede themselves and not interfere with other releases.
- Skip Indented Line: This section can be controversial but most of these releases are micro/mini encodes or crappy quality. I personally add them into the do not want section but I will leave them here with negative values so you can still grab them if all else fails.
- Skip Indented Line: ```bash
- Skip Indented Line: /(\[Pixel\]|-Pixel\b\[EDGE\]|-EDGE\b|\[Ranger\]|-Ranger\b)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(SpaceFish|DeadFish|\bDB\b|Man\.K|\bHR\b)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(BakedFish|N[eo][wo]b[ ._-]?Subs|\bAnime Time\b)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(AnimeKaizoku|Kaizoku|\bCBB\b|phazer11)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(iPUNISHER|MiniTheatre|MiniFreeza|Mr\.Deadpool)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(NemDiggers|Project-gxs|youshikibi)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(\bMD\b|Pog42|mdcx)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(A-Destiny|TOPKEK|\bUwU\b|DARKFLiX)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(\[Maximus\]|-Maximus\b|\[224\]|-224\b)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(\[Harunatsu\]|-Harunatsu\b)/i,
- Skip Indented Line: /(\[Davinci\]|-Davinci\b)/i
- Skip Indented Line: ```
- Skip Indented Line: When done it should look something like this:
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: The regex isn't mentioned anywhere, it's a hidden advanced feature
- Skip Indented Line: **If you don't care about quality then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful for you.**
- Skip Indented Line: ## FAQ
- Skip Indented Line: **Q: Why do you only have a release profile for WEB-DL?**
- Skip Indented Line: A: I only do WEB-DL my self for TV shows because in my opinion WEB-DL is the sweet spot between Quality and Size and you often don't see big difference anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)
- Skip Indented Line: **Q: Why do you prefer P2P groups over scene releases?**
- Skip Indented Line: A: Scene release always release in a rush to bring it out as fast as possible.
- Skip Indented Line: So I noticed often that I got Repacks/Proper releases from them or from different groups and quality.
- Skip Indented Line: P2P releases are a bit smarter and work sort of together by not doing the same release.
- Skip Indented Line: Also I noticed that with some Scene releases the 5.1 audio was stripped out or converted to AAC audio.
- Skip Indented Line: And in my opinion the P2P are of better quality.
- Skip Indented Line: Theirs 1 Scene releaser that do bring out quality releases `-deflate/-inflate`.
- Skip Indented Line: **Q: Why do I see that many Amazon WEB-DL's repacks/proper lately?**
- Skip Indented Line: A: A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last week have only had 192Kbps DD+5.1, because that's all Amazon made available initially.
- Skip Indented Line: The proper 640Kbps DD+5.1 audio might appear a few hours later or a few months, but when they get updated the episodes will be REPACKED.
- Skip Indented Line: **Q: Why did you remove all the scene groups?**
- Skip Indented Line: A: I decided to redo the Release Profile to make it easier for me and the end user to update/manage the Release Profile, I decided not to add the scene groups anymore (and also removing the current ones). Why ? Lately I noticed a lot of popup scene releases meaning we need to update often.
- Skip Indented Line: With this it also means all scene and (yet) unknown groups will be getting a score of `0` and not `-50`.
- Skip Indented Line: I will still keep a eye on them and add the Low Quality Groups to the `-100` score and when I find a new P2P group I will add them, resulting in less updates and a more accurate upgrade.
- Skip Indented Line: We're going to make use of 2 separate release profiles.
- Skip Indented Line: Also check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming` and add `{Preferred Words}` to your renaming scheme when you get download loop issues!!!
- Skip Indented Line: What it does:
- Skip Indented Line: When enabled the block with the [Release Source (Streaming Service)](#release-source-streaming-service) in it are then added to the file name which fixes any loops due to Sonarr seeing a new NF rip when an AMZN rip is found.
- Skip Indented Line: Probably doesn't happen if cutoff is met, but for anything that is unmet or any forced searches it results in a loop because NF is not in Sonarr's copy so it upgrades, and loops.
- Skip Indented Line: Enabling the include in preferred words for AMZN and adding that to the file name fixes that.
- Skip Indented Line: Example of a naming scheme for series:
- Skip Indented Line: Can be found [HERE](/Sonarr/V3/Sonarr-recommended-naming-scheme/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
- Skip Indented Line: !!! attention
- Skip Indented Line: These screenshots are just examples to show you how it should look and where you need to place the data that you need to add, they aren't a 100% reflection of the actual data and not always 100% up to date with the actual data you need to add.
- Skip Indented Line: - Always follow the data described in the guide (with the copy paste/option at the end).

- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: DO NOT Check mark `Include Preferred when Renaming`
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: So why did I put `/(?=(1080|720)).*((x|h)[ ._-]?265|hevc)/i` as `Must Not Contain` and what does it do ?
- Skip Indented Line: It blocks/ignores 720/1080p releases that are encoded in x265, why ?
- Skip Indented Line: !!! quote
- Skip Indented Line: x265 is good for for 4k stuff or 1080p if they used the the remuxes as source.
- Skip Indented Line: If the media isn't source quality/remux, then there will be a loss of quality every time.
- Skip Indented Line: Also, once you go x265, typically that file is done.
- Skip Indented Line: It can't be changed to something else without a huge loss of quality.
- Skip Indented Line: Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support.
- Skip Indented Line: If you have more than a couple users,
- Skip Indented Line: you will notice much more transcoding.
- Skip Indented Line: Just depends on your priorities.
- Skip Indented Line: So basically if you are storage poor and just need to save space, use x265.
- Skip Indented Line: The catch is if you want best quality x265, you need source quality files, so you still have huge file sizes.
- Skip Indented Line: If you want maximum compatibility and the option to change your files to something else later,
- Skip Indented Line: then x264.
- Skip Indented Line: It's all really dependent on specific situations for different people
- Skip Indented Line: It's a shame that most x265 groups microsize the releases or use the x264 as source what results in low quality releases. And the few groups that do use the correct source suffer from it.
- Skip Indented Line: That's why I created my own golden rule.
- Skip Indented Line: - 720/1080p => x264
- Skip Indented Line: - 2160p/4k => x265

- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: These options are optional and only needed if you got a certain use case for it,
- Skip Indented Line: ##### .su season pack issue
- Skip Indented Line: When you see a error in Sonarr that looks somehow like the follow screenshot
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: Then theirs only one way real way that always solves this issue.
- Skip Indented Line: create a new release profile specific for .su that uses the [Season regex](#optional-matches-season-packs-use-this-if-you-prefer-season-packs) as `Must not contain (2)`
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: !!! note
- Skip Indented Line: Theirs a [script](/NZBGet/scripts/#wtfnzb-renamer){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} for NZBGet that sometimes could help but it seems it doesn't always work. It also seems theirs a work around for SABnzbd but i can't confirm being i'm not using Sab.
- Skip Indented Line: This is a RegEx that ignores DV for WEB-DL but allows for other sources. WEB-DL from Streaming Services don't have the fallback to HDR(10), What can results in weird playback issues like weird colors if you want to play it on a not DoVi compatible setup. Remuxes and Bluray have a fallback to HDR(10).
- Skip Indented Line: If you're getting often a error message like `Has the same filesize as existing file`, you might need to consider to remove the [-25]

- Skip Indented Line: And after you clicked on `Save` it will look something like this:
- Skip Indented Line: 
- Skip Indented Line: Keep in mind this list will be a constant work in progress because I will be updating it when it's needed.
- Skip Indented Line: So best to set a notification for updates for this page.
