What's the purpose of multiple quality profiles existing in parallel in Radarr/Sonarr? - Feddit

Well hello there, I’m diving into the *arr suite of things currently and am trying to setup everything to my usecase. I think I mostly already understood, how a single quality profile works within itself, like upgrading quality and so on. But what I didn’t get yet, why would I want multiple different quality profiles to exist? I mostly am having this priority list: - BluRay 1080p - Any 1080p - Any <1080p Would there be a difference of having these three as separate quality profiles or having them within one quality profile? What’s the preferred way there (if that’s not just dependant on the usecase)?

It’s just extra customization. Pick what you want and don’t over think it.
I was just thinking about an example. For example when there is a specific movie I want only in 480p for whatever reason? So I create a second profile for that and sort that movie into that profile?
My use case is that I grab house hunters for background tv. Do I need that at high quality? No definitely not. For most shows I’m at 1080p, then for shows/movies I really like I’ll grab higher quality.
