• sonarr.yml: Configuration file for Sonarr (TV shows)
• radarr.yml: Configuration file for Radarr (movies)
• recyclarr.yml: Configuration file for Recyclarr, which syncs settings with Sonarr and Radarr

Quality Profiles

Both Sonarr and Radarr use three main quality profiles:

1. Maximum: Highest quality, preferring remux and full Blu-ray rips
2. Optimized: High quality, balancing size and quality
3. HD Only: Focuses on 1080p content

Sonarr has an additional Anime profile for anime content.

Custom Formats

Custom formats are used to fine-tune media selection. Key categories include:

• HDR and Dolby Vision preferences

Audio Configuration

The audio configuration is optimized for the Sonos Arc sound system, prioritizing:

3. Dolby Digital (DD)

Other formats like DTS and TrueHD are de-prioritized but still allowed if no better option is available.

Recyclarr Integration

1. Regularly run Recyclarr to sync the latest settings from TRaSH Guides
2. Periodically check TRaSH Guides for new recommendations or changes
3. Update your sonarr.yml and radarr.yml files if new custom formats or quality profiles are introduced

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Verify that Recyclarr is running correctly and syncing settings
2. Check Sonarr and Radarr logs for any errors related to quality profiles or custom formats
3. Ensure that the YAML syntax in your configuration files is correct
