1. What indexers do you have added to sonarr/radarr? dbzer0 doesn't mind naming them afaik so you're good to share them here

2. Setting the quality slider as the other user suggested should work. Go to Settings->Quality and slide the size for WEBDL-1080P and BLURAY-1080P to the size you'd prefer (remember that it's defined as size per hour and not total size of the file)

3. The best way to do this imo is to define release profiles based on groups. I'm guessing, based on your size preferences, you'd normally grab H265/HEVC 1080p releases re-encoded by various groups like TGx and PSA

On Sonarr (v3), create a release profile and name it whatever you want. In the Must Contain field, paste this -

/^(?=.*(1080|720))(?=.*((x|h)[ ._-]?265|hevc)).*/i

This will force Sonarr to only grab releases which are HEVC. This is actually supposed to go in the Must Not Contain field because re-encodes are much more inferior. But if your intention is to save space this works.

Then in the preferred section you can define the rankings for certain groups you'd like to see. So type in -PSA on the first one and give it a score of 100. In the next one type -TGx with a score of 95 and so on with the groups you'd like to see with corresponding scores according to your preferences.

Radarr is on v4 and now uses Custom Formats so read https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/ to get a better understanding. The Sonarr section can also help if you want to be more specific with your filters. Anyway, Custom Formats can be imported pretty easily but its best you go through that yourself and try to recreate the profile we made on Sonarr for Radarr

Maybe for you, but that's not how it is for a lot of other people. Some of us prefer to control what releases we grab instead of blindly passing it off to what is essentially a glorified RSS reader (when you don't set up rules)

See if you can find a way into TorrentLeech, FileList, IPTorrents (probably the easiest). General trackers are pretty good, well-seeded (especially FileList). TL is the best place for scene, and you'll find it useful for games as well

Surely at that size you would notice the artifacts. Just for my sake can you try a Bluray remux. I expect it's 4k so you could just grab a 4k web-DL and see if you can notice the difference.

Sonarr only downloads media according to the the rules you give it. If you don't give it any rules, it will just grab whatever immediately matches the quality profile (1080p, 2160p, etc)

What you can do is follow the trash-guides. Those will give you an updated list of decent groups, and if you use them with notifiarr/recylarr, the profiles on sonarr/radarr will also auto-update along with changes in the guides

IGG has been known to include all kinds of weird shit with their installers

I believe you're referring to 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 2023 2160p WEB-DL DDP5 1 Atmos HDR DV HEVC-CMRG'

The HDR DV part of the title denotes that the file is "High Dynamic Range + Dolby Vision". The reason you're seeing the pink, or sometimes green, filter is because of the Dolby Vision HDR layer on this file.

This file is sourced from Disney+ and if you had a DV supported display, they would serve this version of the file for you. Otherwise, they would serve a SDR, or Standard Dynamic Range, version of the same movie for displays that don't support DV or has it disabled. I recommend that if you're grabbing 2160p files, you take care to see whether you're grabbing a HDR version.

In your case, I would almost always go with non-HDR and non-DV, sometimes it could be both, sometimes it could be either one. Ideally, grab a release that doesn't included both of those terms and you should have the SDR version. 1080p can also have HDR, but very rarely DV so you only really need to care about this when it's 4k

I only really need Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat Pro for most of my needs. Other software is either FOSS or Free

MS Office and Windows are activated using MAS and m0nkrus (may he be blessed) provides my Adobe software.

If I'm being honest, I can see myself switching pretty quickly. I'm still pretty new to all this Fediverse stuff and changes happen all the time.

The main thing that irks me about Lemmy right now is the UI and the latency. I've used Jerboa, and now I'm using Liftoff and I'm really not a fan of the UI. I was a Boost for Reddit user, so if Boost was somehow reworked for Lemmy, I'd be more than happy to use it (I'm not trying to demand this, just saying that's what I'd like to see in apps).

The other issue is latency. The dbzer0 instance is already pretty damn slow for me, but even lemmy.world takes so long for loading comments and posting is the most annoying.

Beautiful

I use both private trackers and usenet added to Prowlarr along with Sonarr and Radarr. Usenet has priority, reverts to torrents when it can't find something or if I need some specific release

You should join FileList, easily the best general tracker out there. Tons of seeders and tons of content
