Documentation bugs (matrix works with https, matrix bot needs to be in unencrypted room)

[hillbicks]

Hi There,

first of all thanks for the application, really useful!

I found two issues with the documentation:

1. The wiki page for matrix still mentions that only http is supported, but as mentioned in add https for radarr, sonarr, lidarr api calls #31 it actually works

2. More importantly, the bot apparently only works if the matrix room is not encrypted, otherwise it can't read the messages it seems. Just tested it with an encrypted and unencrypted room.

Thanks!

@hillbicks thanks for finding that, if you wanna update docs please open a PR (otherwise I'll update it at some point this week)

For 2, are you asking for the ability to have bot work in encrypted rooms? Last I checked awhile ago, this wasn't easy or possible with matrix/element yet (but I could be wrong and things have changed)

To be honest, I have already abandoned my botdarr project. My use case is to only send notifications if a movie/series is finished downloading/upgraded. I don't want regular updates about the downloads (trying to avoid notification fatigue). (or I missed a feature of botdarr).

Regarding point 2: I just wanted to make sure that this information is reflected in the documentation as well. Took me half an hour until it dawned on me that I probably don't get an answer from the bot because he can't read in an encrypted chat. So just an additional bullet point under important like:

• The bot only works in an unencrypted channel, otherwise it can't read the messages you send.

Something like that.

Thanks for looking into it!
