> I would also recommend consulting the TRaSH guide to tune your setup

Yes and no. E.g. I find Trash guide to quality profiles/settings useless. I wish *arr apps shipped with decent modern quality by default. No, I'm not downloading and watching a Quantum Quality UXZHD Post-Partum HDR BVIU-49.3 format. No one is.

E.g. profilarr pulls in a more sane set of profiles: https://dictionarry.dev/quality-profile

TRaSH is definitely for power users. It becomes much easier to work with when configured with Recyclarr, but there is still a learning curve.

One of the most valuable things for me is the ability to rank different aspects of releases across media types. For example, I prefer dual audio anime, unless the sub is much higher quality. Same idea for surround sound and release groups. I also want to ignore things like dual audio that is non-English, or hardcoded French subs, etc.

		> It becomes much easier to work with when configured with Recyclarr I tried it once, and it just polluted the profiles with dozens of Trash Guide profiles :) So I went with Profilarr which has sensible setups like "2160p Quality" etc. > One of the most valuable things for me is the ability to rank different aspects of releases across media types. Oh, this is something I tried to setup as well, and failed. It doesn't help that IIRC languages are not properly indexed/set up in ^arrs if I remember. Like you have to set "language = 53" for English or something like that. I think all this complexity is down to the fact that ^arr apps grew organically on top of other things that grew organically, so the data models are all screwed up, and no one has the time or knowledge to clean it up and make better.
