tarr-blocker - Malicious/irrelevant file filtering Transmission hook with Arr blocklist integration

[ZiIlaGit104]

Made this and I wanted to share to contribute as it has worked very well for me!
I was getting a LOT of bogus torrents grabbed by Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr and many of them were malicious... Got tired of it and looked into what I could implement to help filter them out and discovered Transmissions various script hooks!

This is a "torrent-added" hook script that you can add to Transmission to help filter out malicious/irrelevant files in torrents grabbed by your Arr apps.

✨ Features

• Runs automatically as a Transmission "on torrent add" hook script.
  • This runs on the host/container running Transmission
• Filters torrents by file extensions (Unselects unwanted files from the torrent for download).
• If no valid/wanted file types are found in the torrent, it is marked invalid.
• Removes invalid torrents from Transmission.
• Blocklists the release at the origin (Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr) so it won’t grab it again.
• Only Filters based on inferred category, so non-arr torrents are not filtered.

I haven't done a lot of creation/promotion of additions to projects like this.... so I would welcome any tips on how I can best share this so it might benefit as many ppl as possible!

Enjoy and feel free to contribute/comment on the repo!
