Is it possible to manually download the torrent file from bitmagnet?

you can download the magnet via the info hash, click on an item in the web ui to expand it, copy the info hash and paste into your favourite torrent clients 'add torrent' function.

Thanks. I actually just found that I could right click the magnet icon and copy the link. And then paste it into qbit. Seems there are a lot of torrents that bitmagnet finds that can’t be parsed properly in a search by the arrs. At least I’m guessing that’s why the don’t show in an interactive search in Sonarr/Radarr.

that's surprising!, have you found a pattern to this or does it seem random?.

I haven’t really had much time to dig into it. I just noticed it last night because there was an old series that I’ve been trying to get right at the top of the list in the bitmagnet webui but when I searched in Sonarr it didn’t pick it up. The show was titled All Creatures Great and Small (1978) S02 in bitmagnet which should have worked but I noticed after downloading that the individual episode files lacked a year in the title so maybe Sonarr was getting confused since the same show was re-released in 2020. In fact I did have to rename the episodes so that Sonarr would match them properly (it wanted to import them as episodes for the later series). My guess is that Sonarr and probably Radarr are parsing the actual file titles rather than the name of the torrent.

Actually it looks like Sonarr is smarter than I am. Watched a few minutes of several episodes and they’re all the 2020 series anyway even though the torrent file said 1978.

Is this what you got? 91e1975f6df6e48542f4921f045a6854621f1bc8

when you were listing it in the web ui what was the sort order? was it relevance or was it published?, reason i ask is i have switched the sort order to published, see my previous post:- 

Sadly there is no current way to choose the sort order via the torznap api 😞

This is one of the ones I got-

 

 

None of the ones I see match your hash and it appears they are all titled wrong because the video files aren’t from the 1978 series. But surprising that Sonarr does find any of these on an interactive search even though it gets huge numbers of hits from completely different shows in bitmagnet.

 

 

 

This is just a sample of the files that showed on the interactive search. I can’t get a screenshot of the whole thing. Way too many but none are the ones I found searching in bitmagnet .

Ah, you said S02, so that's what I searched. How many total have you scraped? I'm almost 4,000K

You can search with the string I posted to see if that's what you already tried.

Try 3aa2514dffbff1e65dda107914a51557dd2f7326 for 03

Posted the wrong screenshot. It was this one-

 

 

If I had expanded it before downloading I would have realized it obviously wasn’t titled properly. I’m showing ~89,231 tv shows right now.

If I were you I'd let it bake some more, probably get better options that way.

interesting!! i see the same thing, if i go to sonarr and try doing an interactive search it comes back with a load of bollox, basically nothing matches the show name!, so i though, ok lets see what the result is if i query bitmagnet directly, and sure enough that is fine!, for example try going to this url:- view-source:http://<your server ip>:3333/torznab/api?t=search&q=all%20creatures%20great%20and%20small&limit=200 and you should see matches but if i do a search in sonarr i get completely unrelated shows!

ok did query in prowlarr and that also looks good, the results are relevant, so maybe this is bug in sonarr?, seems a fairly big bug though, unlikely based on the maturity of sonarr *shrug*.

Yeah. I wish I could see what results Sonarr gets on the automated search. I know one person reported large numbers of videos being upgraded after installing bitmagnet. I don’t think my Sonarr or Radarr instances have downloaded anything yet but it’s really only been 2 days. I’ll give it some time.

Hmm this looks interesting in regards to garbage results:- https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/prowlarr-search-interactive-search-inaccurate/33692

Also interesting although old 

 

 

I think most of those comments are right in that Jackett doesn’t yield near as much garbage in the interactive search (at least not in my experience). Not sure I saw a good solution there other than to just sort through them manually.

fixed it :-), the prowlarr definition is incorrect for bitmagnet, the solution is to remove the imdb and tmdb from the search query in the prowlarr definition, so you end up with a definition looking like the attached.

 

keep in mind this is a custom definition for now, otherwise the change could get overwritten, you will need to follow this see heading 'Adding a custom YML definition':- https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/indexers

custombitmagnet.yml


once you have put the custom definition in place remove the old 'BitMagnet (Local DHT)' index site and select the 'Custom BitMagnet (Local DHT)' then give prowlarr a damn good restart and try sonarr again, works for me!.

 

The magic sauce is line 35:

it was
 

    tv-search: [q, season, ep, imdbid, tmdbid]

changed to

    tv-search: [q, season, ep]

 

so i have stripped out the imdbid and tmdbid from the query, this stops the garbage result.

 

P.S. i have also altered the number of results returned to 500, feel free to drop this back down if you want fewer results.

Me too. Beautiful. Now please make everyone use a proper series name for their torrents. 😁😁😁

<rant>don't know why people can't put a year in the file name or even worse put the wrong year</rant> 😠

After a server restart it looks like bitmagnet won't run. I'm seeing "waiting for postgreSQL to be ready" repeated over and over.

 

supervisord.log

 

docker run.txt

 

 

Edit: It finally started. Should it normally take 10 minutes or so?

As the DB grows to 10s of GBs it's not surprising pg would start talking time to fire up...

My postgres database is currently 27 GB, startup is around 1 second (located on NVMe), i would think its probably due to this @wgstarks although 10 minutes is mental even if it is located on the array!.

Maybe a better question would be can the db be moved if it gets too big or are there any reasons not to just start it on a parity protected array?

Thanks. The same idea occurred to me. Might just go ahead and move the db to my nvme cache and see what happens.

hmm from your log i see it erroring due to pre-existing postmaster.pid, i will put some cleanup code in to delete the file on startup.
