torrent type identification

[ledzgio]

Hi to all,

i need to find out the type of the torrent, if it is a video, audio, application, image, etc.

Which is the best way to identify the torrent? is there a way to get thi information from the tracker or directly from the torrent or just identifying it by it's extension (mp3, avi, txt, etc.)?

thanks very much

i suggest you evaluate what are you trying to achieve because off the top of my head the following mix of file types can easily be included in a torrent:

• music: audio, text, playlist, video, images
  film: video, text and images
  audiobook: audio, text, images

my thought are that using labels plugin will solve most of your sorting issues and really requires little manual effort

I'm trying to find out some main categories in order to move downloaded torrents to different directories depending on the torrent type (audio, video, etc., analyzing the contained files with it).

I think i can use mimetypes module to achive my goal.

I guess we can consider 5 main categories:

- video
- audio
- data (iso, archives, binary files)
- documents (audiobook, pdf files, office documents, etc.)
- uncategorized (for those torrents that aren't within the previous categories)

What do you think about?

thanks for your suggestions
