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?

    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.
