Given known information, change which rules to apply

[platelminto]

Often, the user will know more information than just the torrent title - for example, for movies, a release year is usually already known.

It would be useful to provide an optional **kwargs argument - the provided information would then be stripped from the title, skipping the appropriate rules, and the values added directly to the return dict.

Generic information about the media could also be provided, such as whether it is a movie or a TV show/season/episode, which could also automatically filter out appropriate rules.

Haven't found any rules that match too liberally that would benefit from some known information, so not actively working towards this.

Could add a flag to parse() to only look for 'simple' fields, as some niche ones (like extended and proper, and generally most of the boolean ones) are sometimes words that could show up in release titles. This isn't a major issue as I've added the ones that could be found in a title to extras.py's patterns_ignore_title, but if that delimiter (currently either season or year) isn't available, it could be a problem. I haven't seen this yet though.

An example list of 'simple' fields could be:

['season', 'episode', 'year', 'month', 'day', 'resolution', 'quality',
'codec', 'audio', 'hardcoded', 'container', 'website', 'language', 'subtitles']

The aim of this list is to contain fields that are a) often useful b) mismatch rarely and c) enough to be able to still split the title correctly (as anything unmatched just after the title would be included with it).

Additionally, this would improve performance, as we are going through fewer fields. This isn't very important though, as the average parse already takes just a couple milliseconds.

Possible search 'types' could be:

• Movie Collection
• Movie
• TV episode
• TV season
• TV collection (multiseason)
