Feature Request: Integration with home automation systems

[jmarshallpresnell]

Background: I do a ton of post-processing on files that I download via DuckieTV, from transcoding to simple renaming of files. Right now, I monitor the "Inbox" directory and when I see a new file/directory, I wait a couple of minutes (to handle the edge case when moving the file from the "Downloading" directory to the "Inbox" takes a bit of time), then I start a post processing run on that particular new file/directory. This is clunky, and prone to errors.

Feature request: When a download has completed successfully, have the option to blind call a web API with the torrent particulars such as hash, filename/directory name, series name, season, episode number, etc. Basically, the parameters necessary to A) interface with the torrent API efficiently (hash), B) Locate the downloaded file/dir (filename/directory name), C) NOT have to determine the season/episode information in the web call (season/episode), and maybe even some API identifier that you used to to retrieve series info (Like a TVDB episode id, or whatever is used for scraping the series data). How this info is formatted for the API call is much less important than simply having it available.

Most home automation systems have some method for handling web APIs intrinsically, as opposed to more exotic methods like RabbitMQ or MQTT, and in any event, those exotics can be sourced from a web API quite easily making it very simple to create some amazing secondary effects with DuckieTV as the initiator.

As before, I am happy to converse with you in more detail if needed.
