I don't want a discord or reddit account so this is mislabelled as a feature request... unless documentation on scripting can be classed is a feature request?

I have made a python script that takes an mp3 file and replaces the genre and adds artwork if missing (both using the lastfm api).
How do I make lidar run this script on my music?
I have lidarr set to tag and rename and keep in sync with musixbrainz.
Which events would I need to call my script from and what env variables do I need to use?

Cheers,
Chris

I think I figured it out. The retag event seems to be the one I want and the var I am using is $lidarr_trackfile_path
