St-sha's Profilarr HTB Customizations
This is my private fork of the Dictionarry-Hub Profilarr HTB Database with personal customizations for my media setup.
🎯 Customization Philosophy
- Physical Media Priority: UHD Bluray and Remux formats are strongly preferred
- Quality Over Size: Transparent encodes and lossless audio prioritized
- IMAX Enhanced: Special scoring for IMAX Enhanced releases (optional profile variant)
- Theatrical Preference: Special Edition penalty in theatrical variant (optional profile variant)
- Streaming Service Optimization: Enhanced scoring for premium services (MA, ATVP, DSNP)
📁 Available Profiles
2160p Quality
Main 4K profile prioritizing physical media with transparent encode fallbacks.
Use when: You want the best 4K quality with UHD Bluray priority and high-quality encode alternatives.
2160p Balanced
Targets consistent 2160p WEB-DLs with lossy audio for smaller file sizes.
Use when: You prefer 4K content but want smaller files and don't mind lossy audio.
2160p Remux
Base remux profile with lossless audio and neutral Special Edition handling.
Use when: You want only untouched 4K sources and want to leave the Special Edition vs Theatrical choice to The HTB's discretion.
2160p Remux (Prefer Theatrical) - Optional Variant
Same as base remux but actively penalizes Special Editions and boosts IMAX Enhanced.
Use when: You specifically prefer theatrical releases over Director's Cuts, Extended Editions, etc.
2160p Remux Only - Optional Variant
Restricts downloads to only remux qualities (no encodes allowed).
Use when: Storage isn't a concern and you want guaranteed lossless sources only.
1080p Quality
Targets transparent x264 1080p encodes with physical media priority.
Use when: 4K isn't needed/wanted and you want the best 1080p quality available.
720p Quality
Targets transparent x264 720p encodes for smaller files or limited bandwidth.
Use when: You need smaller files or have bandwidth constraints but still want good quality.

Merge Strategy Notes
- Always preserve UHD Bluray prioritization (position + score boost)
- Maintain minCustomFormatScore = 0 across profiles
- Keep variant-specific customizations (Special Edition penalties, quality restrictions)
- Verify MA scoring boost in quality profiles
