It depends. If you want to split the library by movies/shows/seasons/whatever, you can probably do that with a small shell script. If it's by folder, that's very easy. If for some reason you have an XML database and a flat file backend... well, you'd have to put the files into a folder tree for the torrents anyway. It would be much easier to actually move (or better yet, symlink or hard link) the files into that folder tree, unless there's some kind of industrial-grade torrent software I've never heard of that can integrate with that, instead of just the filesystem. I'm sure they exist, given that bittorrent is used for stuff like video game updates, but that seems like a lot of work for not much gain.
This tool sounds like something I could write if enough people need it.
the xml is just the media data usually ingested by kodi/jellyfin. its all already well structured in files and folders.
ill prolly start looking into a script i can use to generate the torrents and feed into my deluge container, but you have proven my point.
its not 'easy' to create and seed a library of files.
