Torrent V2 allows the creator to change the files in the torrent. They can replace good files with bad files etc. It’s not a perfect solution.

Yes, there’s a Jellyfin add-on that uses the API to index them as its own Jellyfin library.

Each channel is a show, each year is a season and every video/short/stream is an episode. It pulls the rich metadata from YouTube as well, so you get thumbnails, descriptions, etc.
