[Libtorrent-devel] Re: loading torrents watch_directory that has subdirectories

[Örjan Nordlund]

If you ever get this to work i am very interested too ;)
I categorize my downloads into categories (less than 5) and one of  
those is tvshows. My mediacenter (plexapp.com) wants tvshows in a  
specific folder structure tvshows/showname/season/name_episode.avi,  
for the last part i rely on a script to create symlinks from my  
tvshows directory into a virtual directory structure according to  
Plex's needs. Sadly, this script is client only (developed for mac  
osx). I would love an option to have something like a python script  
running on the server (maybe fired up by rtorrent) that would have  
done the same thing. If i hade the last peace of the puzzle everything  
would be managed by my linux box without human intervention.
