How video quality scoring works

What you see on a /v/ page

• quality_tier — archive / high / standard / compact / suspect / unknown
• quality_score — 0–100 composite score
• sizeNote — ok / size_too_small_for_label / size_bloated / unknown
• contentSpan — movie / episode / collection (scales size floors)
• Parse confidence — high / medium / low from how many name fields we found

Score building blocks

Starting from a playable non-cam video baseline (+20), we add or subtract:

• Source — remux +25; UHD BluRay +22; BluRay +18; WEB-DL +14; WEBRip +8; HDTV +6; DVDRip +4; cam/ts/tc/scr −30
• Resolution — 2160p +20; 1440p +14; 1080p +12; 720p +6; 480p/360p +2
• Codec / extras — x265|AV1 +4; x264 +2; 10-bit +2; HDR +5; Atmos/TrueHD/DTS-HD +3
• Size vs soft floor — below floor −25 and flag size_too_small_for_label; extreme bloat gets a weak flag

Score is clamped to 0–100.

Tier mapping

• suspect — cam/ts-like source, or size too small for the label, or score < 25
• archive — remux / UHD BluRay and score ≥ 70
• high — score ≥ 70 (non-archive path)
• compact — HEVC/AV1 at 720p/1080p with mid scores (space-efficient watch)
• standard — typical labelled releases (including DVDRip packs rescued from sparse parse)
• unknown — almost no resolution/source/codec signal and no usable video list

Size soft floors (movie main file, examples)

• 2160p + remux/BluRay ≈ 8 GB
• 1080p + remux ≈ 8 GB；1080p + BluRay ≈ 4 GB；1080p + WEB-DL ≈ 1.2 GB
• 720p + WEB ≈ 500 MB
• Cam/ts sources are not punished again for “too small”

Episode span multiplies floors ≈ ×0.4；collection uses the median video file size and ≈ ×0.25 floors so a season is not judged like one movie.

Limits

• Tokens come from the magnet display name and file paths — not ffprobe.
• We never claim “better than Blu-ray” or a guaranteed bitrate.
• Always prefer lawful sources; this page explains our UI labels only.
