Epic: Notifications only or include URL #259

Could you add an option for notifications only? It's several times faster for me to manually add a game to my account in my browser than for the software to do it. Currently I get a notification on gotify that I should go into VNC, log in and the session has already expired, log into docker, restart the container, get the capcha notification again, go in through VNC, fill in the capcha and add the game. After all, it makes no sense. Maybe it would be better to get only a notification with the game title, and a link to epic to add manually? It will be several times faster.

I agree, with on mobile and away from server, there is also turning on VPN and navigating captcha on mobile VNC app. It's also a cat and mouse game between Epic and this project on browser detection and as of now in docker installs, the captcha doesn't work. Where with a saved session on mobile/desktop browser, the process is instant with no captcha.

There is a simple step to get notification only. Just edit one line in epic-games.js, change the 'catpcha challenge ...' part with url without quotations, this will send a notification with the epic game store url and you can add the game manually. The js file is location in the /fgc folder of the container. However, the change will not persist in new container update unless the developer add the change to the new image.

@p6002 Yea, doesn't make sense to use it like that if you get captchas.

@vttc08 Good idea, I'll add the link.
