[Wishlist] RSS title as download name

[ironcross]

Hello.
Some people have a suggestion for the option RSS item title to be used as a download name:

Thanks for your time and effort.

This feature is especially useful for sequential stuff (e.g. TV), as you can resolve names from jibberish to well-formatted names with titles if your RSS has them.

Can you explain exactly why this is needed?

Is it so that the torrents you get from your RSS feed don't have a user-friendly name and you would like them to be renamed to whatever was in the RSS title tag? It is quite uncommon in my experience, torrents usually have a proper name and there is no need to rename them.

Please confirm I understood properly. Maybe you can share the RSS feed link too so that I can test?

It is better to explain on TV torrents. In 99% of cases the in-torrent names are missing the episode title, while some RSS have it, e.g:

Torrent: Legal.Show.Name.s1e1.PTV
RSS: Legal ShowName - 1.01 - Original Pilot

There is a huge demand for proper TV names, and some tools (from tvrenamer to sickbeard), but since some RSS already have the proper titles, why not to use them right away?

I've submitted this request after looking how tvrenamer devs are trying to handle utorrent. They are trying to inject the proper names directly to its resume.dat, for crying outloud. When I saw that, I recalled that you are closer to people and might help fellow TV watchers.

An additional solution would be to allow running an script on adding a download (the same way as you have on finished), and accepting its output as a name, e.g. qbittorrent -> tvrenamer -> qbittorrent. The tvrenamer devs and users would have an orgasm if it was like that, but I am just too shy to ask for that too — you're probably very busy etc.

Thought the RSS title thing demands the least of your time while helping a wide number of users.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I think this is a good idea. I look into it for next major release.
