# smarthash

SmartHash is a command line application for the BitTorrent Peer-to-Peer network. It allows users to more easily prepare and publish content and metadata

Capabilities include:

* Creating metadata (.torrent) files

Identifying audio and video files

Extracting screenshots from video files

Extracting mediainfo and tagging information

Parsing accompanying release information, extracting IMDb IDs

### Handlers

Smarthash uses pluggable handlers, allowing for custom actions in different usage scenarios. By default, a .torrent file is saved. An additional provided handler writes out the .torrent, screenshots, MediaInfo and NFO to a folder.

Custom handlers can be dropped into the application (for example, allowing automatic publication of your content to an Internet-based site). Audio metadata or screenshots could also be automatically uploaded. Where necessary, additional command line parameters can be captured by the handler.

### Metadata

Audio-specific metadata is extracted, and provided as a parameter to the handers.

A set of screenshots are extracted from each video file. These can be useful for estimating quality before downloading a torrent - candidates are selected using a Laplacian transform/variance calculation, which effectively extracts a useful selection.
