Support for filtering torrents based on streaming availability #441

Open Krenn opened 7 years ago

I would like to have Taiga ignore torrents for anything that I can watch on Crunchyroll; is that data exposed from MAL in such a way that Taiga could have a filter option for streaming site availability?

I know that an additional wrench is thrown in the works based off some things not being available in all regions on Crunchyroll, though.

Why would you want to ignore torrents? My guess is you are notified for each new episode available, but don't want a notification for things in your Crunchyroll queue.

The better idea is to have per-title notification settings, in my opinion. Would be easier on the dev side I think, and might work for other use-cases than this.

MAL doesn't expose this information, unfortunately. Their API is quite limited, so no surprises here. Kitsu's API does provide streaming links, including links for Crunchyroll. As far as I know, Kitsu gets this data from because.moe and matches the titles to the anime in their own database.

It'd be nice to have this data for various reasons (e.g. instead of #215), but making it work for all current and future services is something I'd rather avoid at the moment. After #129, perhaps?

You can already do this by creating a new filter like:

Name: Discard shows on Crunchyroll
Condition: Anime ID | is not | (Unknown)
Action: Discard matched items

You can then go on and limit this filter to any anime you'd like Taiga to ignore. It's a manual process, but it's something.

@facelesspanda yes, it was to be able to keep the "available torrents" slimmed down to just those that I do have to download as I can't get them on CR. I can set them as per-title but that's a manual process I was hoping would be avoidable via metadata, but it seems to be unavailable.

@erengy I'll take a look in to the filter like you mention. This all certainly isn't critical or important, it's just quality-of-life polish. Thanks for the reply!
