1. Executive Summary

Context

Following the accidental 3TB+ data loss during drive migration, this document serves as the strategic roadmap for rebuilding the media collection with an emphasis on:

Maximum quality: Prioritize highest bitrate releases available
Canonical curation: Focus on essential films and TV first
Persona alignment: Collection should reflect user taste, not just popularity lists
Automated gap-filling: Leverage *arr ecosystem for systematic acquisition

Current State

Component	Status	Notes
Recyclarr	Configured	Using TRaSH templates
Radarr Profile	UHD Bluray + WEB	Good baseline, needs optimization
Sonarr Profile	WEB-2160p	Suboptimal for max bitrate
Pool Storage	~48TB available	mergerfs pool configured
Usenet Access	Active	SABnzbd + Prowlarr operational

Key Recommendations (TL;DR)

Upgrade Radarr to Remux + WEB 2160p profile (50-80GB per film vs 15-25GB)
Enable advanced audio custom formats (TrueHD Atmos, DTS-X)
Enable DV Boost and HDR10+ Boost for premium HDR
Add IMAX Enhanced scoring for blockbuster films
Use curated lists (IMDb, Trakt, Letterboxd) via *arr import

2. Current Quality Profile Analysis

2.1 Radarr Configuration Review

Current recyclarr.yml:

yaml

radarr:
  radarr-4k:
    include:
      - template: radarr-quality-definition-movie
      - template: radarr-quality-profile-uhd-bluray-web
      - template: radarr-custom-formats-uhd-bluray-web

Profile: UHD Bluray + WEB

Setting	Current Value	Max Bitrate Optimal
Target Quality	Bluray-2160p	Remux-2160p
Quality Hierarchy	Bluray > WEB	Remux > Bluray > WEB
Upgrade Until	Bluray-2160p	Remux-2160p
Min Format Score	0	0 (correct)

Assessment: The current profile settles for Bluray encodes (~15-25GB) instead of Remux (~50-80GB). This conflicts with the "max bitrate enthusiast" philosophy.

2.2 Sonarr Configuration Review

Current recyclarr.yml:

yaml

sonarr:
  sonarr-4k:
    include:
      - template: sonarr-quality-definition-series
      - template: sonarr-v4-quality-profile-web-2160p
      - template: sonarr-v4-custom-formats-web-2160p

Profile: WEB-2160p

Setting	Current Value	Assessment
Target Quality	WEB 2160p	Acceptable - TV Remux rarely available
Quality Hierarchy	WEBDL = WEBRip	Correct for TV
Upgrade Until	WEB 2160p	Correct

Assessment: WEB-2160p is appropriate for TV. Unlike films, TV series Remux releases are rare and inconsistent. WEB-DL from premium services (AMZN, NF, ATVP) typically provides the best available quality.

2.3 Custom Format Gaps

Currently Commented Out (Should Be Enabled for Max Quality):

Custom Format	Trash ID	Why Enable
TrueHD Atmos	`496f355514737f7d83bf7aa4d24f8169`	Best lossless object-based audio
DTS-X	`2f22d89048b01681dde8afe203bf2e95`	Alternative lossless object audio
DTS-HD MA	`dcf3ec6938fa32445f590a4da84256cd`	High-quality lossless audio
TrueHD	`3cafb66171b47f226146a0770576870f`	Lossless audio baseline
DV Boost	`b337d6812e06c200ec9a2d3cfa9d20a7`	Prefer Dolby Vision releases
HDR10+ Boost	`caa37d0df9c348912df1fb1d88f9273a`	Prefer HDR10+ releases
IMAX Enhanced	`9f6cbff8cfe4ebbc1bde14c7b7bec0de`	Expanded aspect ratio
IMAX	`eecf3a857724171f968a66cb5719e152`	Standard IMAX releases
Criterion	`e0c07d59beb37348e975a930d5e50319`	Premium film restoration
4K Remaster	`eca37840c13c6ef2dd0262b141a5482f`	Prefer newer 4K scans

3. Max Bitrate Optimization Recommendations

3.1 Recommended Radarr Profile Change

Switch from uhd-bluray-web to remux-web-2160p:

3.2 Enhanced Sonarr Configuration

Keep WEB-2160p profile but enable HDR boosts:

3.3 Storage Impact Analysis

Profile	Avg File Size	100 Films	500 Films
UHD Bluray + WEB	18 GB	1.8 TB	9 TB
Remux + WEB 2160p	55 GB	5.5 TB	27.5 TB

Recommendation: With 48TB pool capacity, Remux profile is viable for ~800 films at average size. Prioritize curated essentials first.

4. Gap-Fill Methodology

4.1 Tiered Acquisition Strategy

TIER 1: Canon (Must-Have)
   |
   +-- AFI Top 100
   +-- Sight & Sound Top 250
   +-- Academy Award Best Picture Winners
   |
   v
TIER 2: Peak TV
   |
   +-- HBO Golden Age (Wire, Sopranos, etc.)
   +-- AMC Prestige (Breaking Bad, Mad Men)
   +-- FX Anthology (Fargo, Legion)
   +-- Limited Series (Chernobyl, Band of Brothers)
   |
   v
TIER 3: Persona-Aligned
   |
   +-- Genre preferences (inferred from existing collection)
   +-- Director filmographies (auteur completionism)
   +-- LLM recommendations (Claude/GPT curation)
   |
   v
TIER 4: Discovery
   |
   +-- Festival darlings
   +-- International cinema
   +-- Cult classics

4.2 Gap Identification Workflow

Export current library from Radarr/Sonarr via API
Cross-reference with canonical lists to find missing titles
Prioritize by tier (Canon > Peak TV > Persona > Discovery)
*Import to arr wanted lists for automated acquisition

bash

# Export Radarr library
curl -s "http://localhost:7878/api/v3/movie?apikey=YOUR_KEY" | \
  jq -r '.[].title' > /tmp/current-movies.txt

# Compare against AFI list
comm -23 <(sort lists/afi-top-100.txt) <(sort /tmp/current-movies.txt) > /tmp/missing-afi.txt

4.3 Quality-First Acquisition

Configure Radarr to only grab releases meeting minimum quality:

Set Minimum Custom Format Score: 0 (allow any matching profile)
Set Upgrade Until Score: 10000 (always upgrade if better available)
Enable "Prefer Existing Media": Prevents re-downloading same quality
