1 week ago I've thought about it plenty of times in the past. It's not impossible, but certainly more complicated.
We're getting into really complicated territory then, because each application will have to have a mapping to another.
You'll need to map from Sonarr to Janitorr (or not, if Janitorr gets access to the same files) and the paths sent to Jellyfin would need to be mapped again (either from Sonarr paths or Janitorr paths).
It's this complicated because Janitorr needs (or at least should have) direct file access itself and then still needs to consider how your media server sees the files. Usually people want a feature like this because they're using some form of weird file system too, which I would need to then account for.
You can still use Janitorr, btw. You can just disable Jellyfin and it'll work perfectly fine.
I think just offering the possibility of a property that tells Janitorr which leaving-soon-dir to send in its request to jellyfin is doable, because people get confused with that anyway. That still wouldn't solve your issue entirely though Janitorr concatenates paths before sending it to Jellyfin and I doubt Jellyfin will accept a directory like C:\leaving-soon/media/tv.
Maybe this is your cue to get off windows and migrate that container to the other machine.

Thanks for this cool application! I unfortunately cannot use it, because my setup isn't on the same machine and not even the same OS. Jellyfin runs on a windows machine, Janitorr, Jellystat, etc. run on a different machine on linux. All folders are available on every machine, however because Jellyfin is running on Windows, it's impossible for me to set Janitorr up.
A easy solution would be port mappings, similiar to how Radarr, Sonarr, etc. do it: Define a list of source/target pairs, whereas if Janitorr matches the source, it will replace it with target before proceeding.
Would be really great if you find the time and want to add this feature! A key/value pair list in the application.yml for port mappings would be perfect. Thank you!
