Sonarr prioritizes releases using a "Score." We will create a Custom Format that assigns positive points to x265, making it win against x264 releases of the same quality.

To make Sonarr prefer content, you must configure Custom Formats (v4) or Release Profiles (v3) to assign positive scores to releases containing x265-related keywords . This tells Sonarr that while a 1080p x264 and a 1080p x265 file are the same "Quality," the x265 version is preferred due to its higher score. Setting Up Preferences in Sonarr v4

For the absolute best results, look into . This is a community-maintained repository of highly optimized Regex patterns for Sonarr and Radarr.

Check the box to negate or modify if your setup requires it, but for a standard setup, just saving this regex is enough. Click . Step 2: Assign a Positive Score in Your Quality Profile Go to Settings > Profiles .

Enter (also known as HEVC or High Efficiency Video Coding). This video compression standard offers the same visual quality as x264 but at roughly half the file size.

The x265 codec offers significant advantages over the older x264 standard:

For a 10-season series, that is the difference between 300GB and 140GB. If you are running a Plex or Jellyfin server for remote friends, x265 is the only way to scale without buying a 12-bay NAS.

Now that Sonarr knows how to identify x265, you need to tell it that these files are more desirable than others. Go to . Select the profile you use (e.g., HD-1080p ). Find the Custom Formats section at the bottom.

After saving your settings, test the configuration to ensure it behaves correctly: Go to any TV show in your library.

If two files have the same Quality (e.g., both are Bluray-1080p), Sonarr will now choose the one with the higher Custom Format score. Alternative: Release Profiles (Sonarr v3)

The x265 codec, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is the industry-standard successor to x264 (AVC). 1. Massive Storage Savings

Set the checkbox to active if you want Sonarr to replace existing x264 files with x265 versions.
