Enhancement Request: Additional media detection types

[magixx]

Any plans to detection for all other release types? e.g. games, software, mp3, audiobooks...
I'm currently looking into doing this and am trying to see if it would be easier to start from scratch or look into how such a project already works and add to it. My goals is so that given a release name I could figure out what category it likely belongs to and most information about it such as title, resolutions, source...
A couple of resources that I'm using so far to essentially just collect tags and information are http://scenerules.irc.gs/, Sickbeard, autodl-irssi-community, headphones, sonarr, sick-beard, and some predb databases to try and find common tags.
Any tips or suggestions?

It is not planned, but I think you will really earn time by extending guessit instead of starting a project from scratch.

Maybe it requires a small refactoring to support and implement various type with more ease, but you will benefit of tree matcher feature, transformer plugins architecture, and big bunch of unit tests case that works (Autodetect, Episodes & Movies) which are the strength of guessit.

Keep in mind that guessing file information with a good reliability from name only is hard. There's scene rules OK, but what about all releases that doesn't follow those rules ?

And how to maintain those rules for future changes ? Adding or modifying a rule into guessit is fast and often requires a single line of code, based on regexp and extra validation (positionnal, validation, formatting).

It would be really easier to implement this using guessit 2 and rebulk, but it's still to much work for me.

I'm closing this for now, but feel free to contribute ...
