So…I’m trying to make AV1 to be a preferred codec over x265. I made an AV1 custom format to follow the x265 one. And, in Profiles - HD 1080p, I set the score for AV1 to 40, while x265 has 10. And…yet, I see the following message when attempting a manual upgrade:
Episode.S01E01.1080p.WEBRip.DS4K.AV1.mkv -Not a Custom Format upgrade for existing episode file(s). New: [AV1 Preferred] (0) do not improve on Existing: [x265 Preferred] (10)
So…for some reason, AV1 is getting a 0. Why? It should be getting a 40. Where can I see the reason for this??
It is about the quality. Pretty sure there is not a quality upgrade and then the format is not applied.
It is contra intuitive for the arr stack. What triggers the format is the quality and then the rest of parameters.
I find it annoying because you can not make a format that you prefer a 1080 HD movie in multilanguage over a 4k in just English…
Sounds like the custom format isn’t working. A screenshot might help.
Here’s a bunch of screenshots attached! I find interesting that if I use the parsing tool to test on a filename that’s getting a zero score in the error message, on the parsing tool it gets a 39, which should be plenty justified for a file upgrade.
Use the trash guides, it’s all in there.
Are you sure that profile is being applied?
You’ll need to share your custom format json (or screenshot) and your quality profile.
You (sadly) need to group all quality profiles into a single one, and then handly quality through a custom format. Example from my setup:
