Only download H264 files

Hi,

I have recently found out that my videos in Plex buffer a lot when they are X265 file type because my current PC I use plex on doesn’t have much power to transcode the audio.

I have tried following a few guides/reddit posts on how to do this but it doesn’t seem to download the shows when they are released any more. It will download if I tell sonarr to search monitored.

This is the profile I created.

Have I done something wrong?

Must Contain is missing X variants, Must Not Contain is missing HEVC, and Preferred isn’t necessary but presumably you don’t mean to have that last entry.

Also to set expectations: these are terms that must / must not be in the release name. Sonarr can’t know the codec until after the release is downloaded. Unless it is specifically written in the release name of course.

Thank you, I have changed the profile to what you said. I will see if it works when the next show comes out.
