[Feature Request] drop-folder support #20

Closed sr105 closed 2 years ago

sr105 commented 11 years ago

I think a drop-folder would be awesome. I'd love to be able to leave VMM running in the background and then whenever something is downloaded, it would be placed in the drop-folder and VMM would id it and place it somewhere else. That would allow one to have uTorrent running with the remote feature turned on. I could tell it to download a show, it would drop the completed show/movie into a drop-folder, and if VMM can ID it, VMM would put it in a Movies or TV folder of my choosing which could be remotely mounted folders on Boxee or a file server.

It might scan on a time based schedule, unless i can find out a way to receive folder actions or something of the sort. And depending on how well I can identify the different type of media files, one may still have to use 'sub' folders for movies, tv shows & anime.

Also, if files come in multi-part RAR files, i'll have to find a way to open them and wait till it's finished opening to continue, or wait for the next 'scheduled' file scanning cycle.

I think it's ok to fail on some files (even the rars). In fact, I'd plan on it and perhaps devise a way for dealing with the failures.
