!!! warning ""

    REPACKS and PROPERs are v2 of Qualities and thus rank above a non-repack of the same quality.

    `Settings` => `Media Management` => `File Management` => `Proper & Repacks` Change to `Do Not Prefer` and use the [Repack/Proper Custom Format](/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#repackproper){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
