The Situation
I have two torrents with slightly different file structures.
They both are multi-file torrents.
Torrent 1:
{
info: {
files: [
{
path: ["", "foo"],
},
...
],
...
},
...
}
Torrent 2:
{
info: {
files: [
{
path: ["foo"],
},
...
],
...
},
...
}
On at least one commonly-used torrent client, these two torrents are stored differently. But parse-torrent
sees them as identical, with no way to differentiate the two. This is due to intended behavior of path.join
:
Zero-length path segments are ignored.
Proposal
I would just like to have a way to be able to differentiate these torrents.
My proposal is simple: add a pathSegments
array to this object:
Lines 186 to 191 in 127ae53
I am willing to write a PR for this if I get the go-ahead on the approach.
