Download command meta and filename interpolation

Good day.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as of now, there does not seem to be a way to dynamically change the filename of the file downloaded with the "download podcast" command. Also, the downloaded file (for me, from a: RSS XML URL) is downloaded with no metadata attached. The result being, every file downloaded has a hardcoded filename with no discernable difference between the files except "date added" or "date modified" in file explorer.

Request:

When downloading from XML source (such as a podcast), have built-in interpolation that the scheduler "Playlist/track filename or command" field accepts. Perhaps widely known/used fields available in parsed XML. Perhaps be able to chain as necessary. Also, use the XML to auto-tag the downloaded file so that, at minimum, title and artist are saved in their respective ID3 tags. The method of interpolation chosen as an example is arbitrary.

Example:

download podcast http://podcast.example.com/feed.xml D:\RADIO\Podcasts\Example\%title%.mp3

or chained:

download podcast http://podcast.example.com/feed.xml D:\RADIO\Podcasts\Example\%channel::title%-%channel::item::title%-%date%.mp3


For a secondary option, use the opposite slash, like the folder_path command uses:


download podcast http://podcast.example.com/feed.xml D:\RADIO\Podcasts\Example/ <-- forward slash here

The forward slash would tell radioboss to automatically interpolate. This choice would be completely software-defined for which fields/ID3 tags would be saved to the file upon successful download
