BASE64 Encode/Decode?

BASE64 Encode/Decode?

Now that some filenames aren't working anymore (WEB-DL, WEBRip, AMZN...)

And maybe more to come...

Maybe the scene can encode the filename with BASE64 so a filename like this:

Scream 7 2026 1080p WEB-DL AAC 5 1 H264-UNiON

would become:

U2NyZWFtIDcgMjAyNiAxMDgwcCBXRUItREwgQUFDIDUgMSBIMjY0LVVOaU9O

The indexer would still show the filename, so we can search but the videofilename would be encoded.

So no files are being blocked by RD or any other and streamingapps can decode the filename and sort it and play it.

A lot of stuff on Usenet was also removed and the scene switched to encoding to prevent removal.
