# NAS Movie Download

Automated movie downloading system using Jackett for torrent search and qBittorrent for download management.

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Set these environment variables for the skill to function properly:

**Jackett Configuration:**
- `JACKETT_URL`: Jackett service URL (default: http://192.168.1.246:9117)

### Indexer Setup

The skill works with Jackett indexers. Currently configured indexers:
- The Pirate Bay

Ensure these indexers are enabled and configured in your Jackett installation for best results.

## Usage

### Search Movies

Search for movies without downloading:

```bash
scripts/jackett-search.sh -q "Inception"
scripts/jackett-search.sh -q "The Matrix"
scripts/jackett-search.sh -q "死期将至"  # Chinese movie names supported
```

### Download Highest Quality Version

Search and automatically download the highest quality version:

```bash
scripts/download-movie.sh -q "Inception"
scripts/download-movie.sh -q "The Matrix"
```

### Manual Download Workflow

For more control over the download process:

1. Search: `scripts/jackett-search.sh -q "movie name"`
2. Review results and copy magnet link
3. Add to qBittorrent: `scripts/qbittorrent-add.sh -m "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."`

### Test Configuration

Verify your Jackett and qBittorrent setup:

```bash
scripts/test-config.sh
```

## Quality Selection

The skill automatically prioritizes quality in this order:

1. **4K/UHD**: Contains "4K", "2160p", "UHD"
2. **1080P/Full HD**: Contains "1080p", "FHD"
3. **720P/HD**: Contains "720p", "HD"
