Optional. Default: No quality profiles are created or modified

An array of quality profiles that along with any configuration properties that Recyclarr should use to modify that quality profile. If a quality profile does not exist (by name), Recyclarr will create it for you. If any properties (qualities, min_format_score, etc) are explicitly provided, Recyclarr will ensure those values are changed and synced.

If there are values you wish Recyclarr to not touch (so that you may manually edit them yourself, for example), simply omit those properties from your YAML. In general, properties you do not specify indicates that you do not want Recyclarr to modify those values. Exceptions to this rule will be mentioned in the relevant sections below as needed.

name

Required.

The name of the quality profile to which settings should apply. The name can identify either an existing profile or serve as the name for a new profile that gets created.

tip

At the moment, it is not possible to rename a quality profile. If you change the name here, you are telling Recyclarr to modify an entirely different profile (if a profile exists with the new name) or create a brand new quality profile using the new name.

reset_unmatched_scores

Optional. Default: do not reset any scores

enabled

Required.

If set to true, custom format scores in this profile are set to 0 if they match any of the following conditions:

• The custom format is not managed by Recyclarr (not in a trash_ids list).
• The custom format has no score assigned (either manually or sourced from the guide).

Custom formats may be excluded from resets with the except property.

If false, scores are never altered unless it is listed in the trash_ids array and has a valid score to assign (either from the guide or via an explicit score).

except

Optional. Default: empty; no CFs excluded from reset

A list of one or more custom format names to exclude from score resets. The typical use case for this is to explicitly exclude custom formats scores you manage manually (i.e. that are not synced by Recyclarr). If this property is omitted, then all CFs are unconditionally reset to 0 as described by the enabled property documentation.

score_set

Optional. Default: default

A string (name) that determines the guide-provided, preset scores to use across all custom formats assigned to a quality profile. In the TRaSH Guides, a "score set" is a set of scores across multiple custom formats designed for specific types of profiles, such as 1080p vs 2160p.

For example, if you have score_set: anime-radarr, then any custom format assigned to the profile will use the score assigned to the name "anime-radarr". If any custom format does not have a score that is a part of that set, it instead pulls the score from the default score set (named "default"). If score_set is omitted, then all scores are taken from the default score set as well.

tip

Use the list custom-formats --score-sets command to get a list of available score sets that can be used with this property. Visit the relevant CLI reference page for more information.

min_format_score

Optional. Default: leave existing value untouched

Correlates directly to the "Minimum Custom Format Score" field in the Quality Profile edit dialog in Radarr/Sonarr.

upgrade

Optional.

Does nothing by itself. A container for the allowed, until_quality and until_score properties.

allowed

Required.

Directly correlates to the "Upgrades Allowed" check box in the Quality Profile edit dialog in Radarr/Sonarr. If true is provided, the box is checked and false unchecks the box. If you don't want Recyclarr to manage this checkbox, you need to delete the entire upgrade block (including its contents).

until_quality

Conditionally Required. Default: leave existing value untouched

Correlates directly to the "Upgrade Until Quality" drop-down / select box in the Quality Profile edit dialog in Radarr/Sonarr. The quality name mentioned here must exist in the qualities list (if that list is provided) or be a valid quality in your profile that you've enabled/allowed by manually editing the profile through the Radarr/Sonarr UI.

This property is required if you also specify a qualities list. If you do not have a qualities list, this property is optional and will leave your manually set cutoff alone.

until_score

Optional. Default: leave existing value untouched

Correlates directly to the "Upgrade Until Custom Format Score" field in the Quality Profile edit dialog in Radarr/Sonarr.

qualities

Conditionally Required. Default: leave existing qualities untouched

info

This property is required if the profile is being created for the first time. If the profile already exists, then this property is optional.

A list of qualities and/or quality groups to enable for this quality profile. You also have the option of defining new quality groups using this list.

There are several important things to know about defining qualities:

• Quality groups are defined by having a nested qualities list.
• Qualities have fixed names and are defined by the service. The names must match what you see in the qualities list shown when editing a quality profile in the Radarr or Sonarr UI.
• The order in which you list your qualities & groups here will be reflected in the service.
• When defining a quality group, qualities you assign to that group get removed from other groups if needed.
• Existing groups that have qualities removed from them will be retained, unless that group becomes empty as a result, in which case the group is deleted.

The qualities section is a list. Each list item is allowed to have the properties documented in the following sub-sections.

name

Required.

The name of an existing quality. If this is a quality group, this name identifies either an existing quality group or will be used as the name for a newly created group.

enabled

Optional. Default: true

If this is omitted or set to true, this quality will be allowed. This is the equivalent of checking the box next to the quality in the Radarr or Sonarr UI. If set to false, this quality will be disallowed (unchecks the box).

warning

There are two distinct methods of disabling (disallowing) a quality: Either set this property to false or delete the quality from the list entirely. Make sure you understand the behavioral impact of both choices! The safest way to disable a quality is to set enabled: false, leave it in your YAML, and in the exact order it already is. If you remove a quality to disable it, make sure you understand the consequences.

qualities

Optional. Default: Treat this as a quality

A list of one or more strings that identify existing qualities to bundle into a group. By specifying this list, you are implicitly enabling this quality item to be a group and not a quality by itself. The name property becomes the name of this group. If the group does not exist, it will be created.

quality_sort

Optional. Default: top

Determines the sorting order of qualities. The sorting order is important as it affects search results and cutoff processing in Radarr & Sonarr v4. This property must be set to one of the values below.

info

Regardless of the sorting mode, the order of the qualities you explicitly specify will always be in the order in which they appear in the qualities section.

• top: Qualities and quality groups you explicitly specify will be pushed to the top of the qualities list. Unspecified (missing) qualities will appear below that list.
• bottom: Qualities and quality groups you explicitly specify will be pushed to the bottom of the qualities list. Unspecified (missing) qualities will appear above that list.
