i have an episode (several actually) that i converted (im archiving them) to x265 leaving the aspect ratio as-is. the converted ep had a filename of show.s01e01.mkv
sonarr is set to analyse video
i deleted the original file, then rescanned the show, then renamed
the converted file has a resolution of 720x416 (720x404) yet when sonarr renamed it, it came back as show.s01e01.hdtv-720p.x265.aac.mkv
720p is supposed to be 720 lines high, not pixels wide, isnt it? this ep should be sdtv-480p
is there some other media properties its looking at to get 720p from? or something i’m missing?
Docker container from linuxerver/sonarr:latest
Version 2.0.0.5163

Synology DSM 6.1.6
standard episode format is set to {series.cleantitle}.s{season:00}e{episode:00}.{quality.title}.{mediainfo.simple}
Not the answer to your question. but why don’t you just insert a quality tag in the filename when converting them?
As for your question, I would start by checking what mediainfo reports when process the file without Sonarr.
Then I would turn on debug logging and check what mediainfo is parsing.
As for the rules, they are pretty straight forward.
If have no idea why they opted to code it this way, probably to account for cropping. As it is opensource, you’re always welcome to open an issue or post a commit.
But does it really matter? In your case your width is 720, which is less then 1200, and should report back as SD like you want.
So back to square 1 and check what mediainfo is reporting.
What I meant was it doesn’t matter if it is using width or height, your file should match SD. I was just pointing out there was no point in looking further into the matching criteria, as in your case it should have the same result.
Guess the only thing is enable debug logging and see the actual Sonarr behaviour in the logfile.
