Not Grabbing Highest Score Release

Help & Support
#1

Version 3.0.6.1342
Package 3.0.6 by Team Sonarr
Mono Version 6.12.0.122
Ubuntu 20.04

Description of issue:

Can’t seem to figure out why Sonarr is not grabbing my highest scored releases. Settings and profiles have been working as expected up until now, but the latest series is giving me fits. Nothing is blacklisted, and I’ve removed and re-added the series a few times before looking for help. Even tried using a 720p only profile, but still wouldn’t grab the release with the higher score.

Sonar is grabbing the x264 version instead of the x265 version, even though I’m using this Release Profile:

and this Quality Profile

Thanks in advance for the help.

Score is not priority

https://wiki.servarr.com/sonarr/faq#how-are-possible-downloads-compared

Also you can improve you preferred words with regex

/((x|h)[ ._-]?265|hevc)/i for x265

Similar for x264

@bakerboy448 Just making sure I understand how the quality and preferred words work.

‘The.Afterparty.S01E01.720p.WEB.H264-KOGi’: has “web” in the filename and I have 720p web on the top of my priority quality.

‘The.Afterparty.S01E01.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta’: does not have 'web" in the filename, only 720p.

I guess my follow up question would be how to juggle a file that doesn’t specify its source? Guessing I need to re-order my quality profile. Should I put “unknown” at the top if I generally want to grab this release group’s releases, and they tend not to include web-dl or webrip in the filenames?

If there is no source then the lowest quality for the resolution is assumed

HDTV in this case

You can merge qualities and control everything with preferred words as the FAQ covers

Thanks for the help, @bakerboy448. Much appreciated.
