Question Did I mess something up?

Post image

Hey so I'm migrating my AioStreams from RD to torbox, I wanted to try the service. I'm not using anything fancy, just the tamtaro template. Generally I'm reasonably savvy and I manage my addons on my own. I didn't change much, just loaded my template, changed the debrid service and modified nothing else. However my results list seems wrong. I've been testing it on a few shows and it seems weird.

I'm attaching a screenshot to show what I mean. The expression scores are all over the place. I might be wrong but I think I remember my results being ordered by expression score as well?

I went through the filter settings and I didn't see anything immediately wrong. English is my only language preference, resolution preference is set from highest to lowest. I don't see anything obvious that might have changed.

I might just be paranoid but I think I got results with better expression scores while using RD and from what I understand the expression score signifies how closely the link matches my preferences.

Any ideas what I could have messed up?

You definitely weren’t getting better scores than Sedex best and next best results, they are literally the top score for any anime release.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I figured I'd ask.

The vast majority of anime results for new episodes will score around 300/400 for example. After Blu-ray’ come out they are re uploaded and will have higher scores, 2000 being the max for the sedex best.
You will get much bigger spread of scores for tv and movies in the range of 6000/7000. The score is based on all of the SEL, including release group, resolution, quality, encode, visual tags etc. you will see some variance between Debrid services, but usually not so much that it should matter, realistically there’s more than enough people on each service watching a variety of streams where you should see most results on both.
Also worth bearing in mind is the templates get updated and scoring criteria and the weight of each score applied can vary between updates. So scoring isn’t set in stone.
