## Advanced Features
### Hook System
Execute custom scripts before/after downloads. Configure in `config.json`:
```json
{
"HOOKS": {
"pre_run": [
{
"name": "prepare-env",
"type": "python",
"path": "scripts/prepare.py",
"args": ["--clean"],
"env": {"MY_FLAG": "1"},
"cwd": "~",
"os": ["linux", "darwin"],
"timeout": 60,
"enabled": true,
"continue_on_error": true
}
],
"post_run": [
{
"name": "notify",
"type": "bash",
"command": "echo 'Download completed'"
}
]
}
}
```
#### Hook Configuration Options
- **`name`**: Descriptive name for the hook
- **`type`**: Script type - `python`, `bash`, `sh`, `shell`, `bat`, `cmd`
- **`path`**: Path to script file (alternative to `command`)
- **`command`**: Inline command to execute (alternative to `path`)
- **`args`**: List of arguments passed to the script
- **`env`**: Additional environment variables as key-value pairs
- **`cwd`**: Working directory for script execution (supports `~` and environment variables)
- **`os`**: Optional OS filter - `["windows"]`, `["darwin"]` (macOS), `["linux"]`, or combinations
- **`timeout`**: Maximum execution time in seconds (hook fails if exceeded)
- **`enabled`**: Enable/disable the hook without removing configuration
- **`continue_on_error`**: If `false`, stops execution when hook fails
#### Hook Types
- **Python hooks**: Run with current Python interpreter
- **Bash/sh/shell hooks**: All three types execute via `/bin/bash -c` on macOS/Linux
- **Bat/cmd/shell hooks**: Execute via `cmd /c` on Windows
- **Inline commands**: Use `command` instead of `path` for simple one-liners. Note: `args` are ignored when using `command`; they only apply when using `path`.
Hooks are automatically executed before (`pre_run`) and after (`post_run`) each download. In the GUI, `post_run` fires after every individual download completes; in CLI mode, `post_run` fires at the end of the main execution flow.

## Docker
### Basic Setup
```bash
# Build image
docker build -t streaming-community-api .
# Run with Cloudflare DNS
docker run -d --name streaming-community --dns 1.1.1.1 -p 8000:8000 streaming-community-api
```
### Volumes and Permissions
When mounting a local folder as a volume, you might encounter permission issues. Using `-u root` ensures the container has the necessary rights to write to your host machine:
```bash
docker run -d --name streaming-community --dns 1.1.1.1 -p 8000:8000 -u root -v D:\Download:/app/Video streaming-community-api
```
### Docker Compose Example
Recommended for stability and easy DNS configuration:
```yaml
services:
streaming-community:
build: .
container_name: streaming-community
user: root
dns:
- 1.1.1.1
- 8.8.8.8
ports:
- "8000:8000"
volumes:
- ./Video:/app/Video
restart: unless-stopped
```

## TODO
- [ ] Improve the GUI; Enhance the graphical user interface and display images for all episodes.
- [ ] Add images to search results: Show a thumbnail/image for each title in the search results.
- [ ] Add images for each episode: Display a dedicated image or thumbnail for every episode.
- [ ] Improve season selection: Populate the season selector using the actual extracted seasons (real data), instead of assuming a range from 1 to N.
- [ ] Add login for discovery, dmax ...
- [ ] Use asyncio for manual downloader
