Hi coders,
Because of the new feature within NZBget to use Filter scripts before and nzb is grabbed from a feed (haven't really looked into it how it works, but seems promising), It should somehow be possible to make something to watch for typical movies based on imdb ID. (ill leave out shows, because its hard to get past Sonarr/SickGear/tons of alternatives, and RSS TV feeds get dumped with shows). I think I can figure out the filtering on quality etc (ie on a Newznab mymovies feed or something). Ok I know a lot is already possible with filters, but that really requires some coding skills to configure it, or scary copy paste work for other users.
So idea for the filtering part is to make a filter script, add filter options via settings page (optionally specify stuff etc), and raise dupe scores to get all the options users will need.
The 2nd, and more difficult part, and I am not an experienced py/interface coder, is the hope to use the option hugbug has planned https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/issues/50, and reading that it may even looks like a command line option, where you could enter a movie name to search for a match and accept that match or not to be added to a watch list based on imdb ID. Starting a nice looking popup in NZBget itstelf would maybe be even cooler ;-to show e.g. the list of movies you have under watch). Maybe hugbug can shoot some holes in the above idea, so I don't waste time on getting the 2nd part to work.
Overall I don't want something that looks fancy, but something that just works, is way lighter than couch (no need for fancy trailers etc). Getting the filter script stuff etc to work would be already cool enough in combination with Newznab MyMovies. In the future, I ll try to start with the filter script stuff..., if you got great plans, or are a better coder, feel free to join this quest.
