PCD Database Overview

The Praxrr Database (PCD) is the curated configuration package in packages/praxrr-db. It ships portable entities—custom formats, quality profiles, delay profiles, and Arr-specific defaults—that Praxrr compiles and syncs to linked Radarr, Sonarr, and Lidarr instances.

Current package version: 0.1.0 (pcd.json). Supported Arr types: radarr, sonarr, lidarr. Minimum Praxrr version: 2.1.0.

Data layout

Section titled “Data layout”
Directory Contents
entities/custom-formats/ 253 portable custom format definitions
entities/quality-profiles/ 14 quality profiles (11 shared video + 3 Lidarr audio)
entities/delay-profiles/ 3 per-Arr delay profiles
entities/media-management/ Naming, media settings, quality definitions per Arr
entities/metadata-profiles/ Lidarr metadata profile defaults
entities/regular-expressions/ Shared regex entities referenced by CF conditions

YAML under entities/ is the canonical source. Legacy SQL fixtures were removed during the SQL-to-YAML cutover; seed data is YAML-only.

How entities relate

Section titled “How entities relate”
  1. Custom formats define release matching rules and optional rename tokens.
  2. Quality profiles assign CF scores, set quality tier order, and define upgradeUntil targets.
  3. Delay profiles control Usenet vs torrent preference and grab delays per Arr app.
  4. Media management and metadata profiles provide Arr-specific defaults bundled with the database.

See Custom Formats catalog and Quality Profiles for the full curated set.
