I found an av1-labeled version of a TV show on Sonarr, so I downloaded it, replacing my previous 264 version. I started to play it and realized it was a smaller 264 version.

Is there a way for Sonarr and Radarr to verify if a download’s version matches it’s label? Do I just need to stick with trusted distribution groups?

    Would the keywords help with mislabeled files?

    Thanks for the ideas on the failsafe. I’ll check into it.

      Mislabeled files, not so much. Since there isn’t really a way to verify the content until it’s downloaded. You can adjust things like which file sizes are considered a certain quality, e.g. HD or 4k. But one approach could be that you define tags for release groups which you know and trust. And give those tags a higher score. This should lead to releases by those groups being preferred.

      You can of course add multiple tags with positive and negative scores. For example I use tags to give a higher score to releases that have 5.1 audio, or which are non-hdr.

        Qbittorrent has a feature to execute a command on torrent complete iirc. You might be able to write a few ffmpeg commands to verify and delete/move/whatever based on that result. Not very user-friendly though ofc and requires some bash knowledge.

      No, it doesn’t help.

      The only help for this is to be on a reputable tracker which cares about quality. That’s usually private trackers

          1. Install arr
          2. Look into prowlarr and search for the trackers that are listed there. Filter for what you are looking for.
          3. Look for trackers that have open applications.
          4. Apply with a text about your torrent behavior, what you are looking for and what you bring to the table.
          5. Become invited to your first tracker.
          6. Over time, apply to other trackers with the same method.
          7. Alternatively ask nicely for invites on your private tracker but don’t over due this and only if your repuration is high enough.

            Thanks, this is helpful.

            How do trackers advertise that they are open for applications?

              It’s stated on the website. Either you can register, or you can’t.
