Some time ago I gave up using sonarr & radarr to watch (popular) tv shows and movies because the search just stopped giving decent results. Now I heard that rarbg has also quit.

So I am wondering, is this still a thing?

Do you have any guides for the custom anime formats? I haven't updated yet and would love to get more dual audio releases. My current setup is pretty hit or miss as to whether I ever get a dub of a show.

These are fantastic have really upped my quality. I was just randomly grabbing releases without knowing whether they had atmos or hdr 10 or dv etc. This is SUPER helpful as you can give a score and then when you manually search, it chooses the highest score.

For me the highest custom format score possible is Dolby Vision with hdr10 or hdr10+ fallback, truehd atmos, criterion collection. This was a custom one I made. YOu can also follow precisely their own prescriptions for how to use the custom formats if you like, which I may go back and do.

That said, some releases that say atmos in the title are not atmos and it pisses me off. The good thing is you can find which scene releasesd , check out a few more "atmos" titles from them and see if it's worth just blocking their releases entirely, which you can do with custom formats.

I think the next step for radarr/sonarr is to make those custom formats a LOT easier to manage on your own. LIke let you give a a priority list or video codecs, a priority list of audio codecs, a priority list for other things such as criterion collection, etcc.

gonna piggyback off of your comment, here is a trash guide specifically for anime in Sonarr!

This is what I used, and I added some custom rules too! There is an uploader who goes by "Judas", so I added a rule that gives a positive weight of 100 whenever it's his upload, so if it's between 2 exact copies of a torrent, but 1 is by Judas, then he gets priority. I also made 265 a positive score instead of negative. And I also made dual audio positive.

It works very well for me!
