 ### Configuring Radarr

[Here's](@/blog/radarr_profiles.md) a post on setting up Radarr quality profiles, so that you pull those juicy, efficient, balanced x265 encodes.
 
 Repeat the same steps with Sonarr as well to configure it.

+This article is a continuation of [this post](@/blog/diy_nas.md) on setting up a DIY NAS. Here we will setup Radarr/Sonarr custom formats, such that it prioritises the efficient x265 1080p encodes.
+
+First go to Settings->Custom Formats and setup two custom formats like so:
+
+![RalphyXD-like](/img/RalphyXD-like.png)
+
+![Lama-like](/img/Lama-like.png)
+
+With the appropriate conditions as shown. The x265 & x264 are preset conditions available in the drop-down!
+
+Next go to Settings->Profiles. Select `HD - 720p/1080p` And add the custom formats as indicated below, using the `score` value to prioritise the x265.
+
+![720p/1080p quality profile](/img/720p_1080p-quality-profile.png)
+
+Third and final step, setup Quality Definitions. We are interested in 720p & 1080p profiles here.
+
+![Quality Slider](/img/quality-slider.png)
+
+
+Then go ahead Auto 'Search Movie' feature on top in the movie listing page to test it. Be sure to select the `HD - 720p/1080p` Quality Profile when you add the new movie!
