Unraid v5.0.5

I currently have transmission from "phaze" working downloading torrents manually. I installed flexget from "phaze" as well but have no idea how to make it work.

After doing some reading, I guess I have to edit the config.yml only...but have read many threads that have confused me even more. Could somebody help me please?

What do I do after installing flexget....Lets say I wanted to get "The flash" from http://some.rss.website/feed/location/

Nobody can help? Please I have tried without success.

you must setup config.yml file

after that fun flexget with command to "check" if evything is allright ...

Hi,

 

I have the same setup.

Here my config file:

(The config file is picky on the formatting. Make sure you have the right indents and the indent is 2 spaces, not a tab.)

templates:
  global:
    content_size:
      min: 100
      max: 500
      strict: no


  tv:
    series:
      settings:
        tv:
          exact: yes
          propers: 3 days
          quality: "<=720p"
          tracking: on
      tv:
        - The Flash
        - ....

    transmission:
      enabled: yes
      host: localhost
      port: 9091
      username: ######
      password: ######

tasks:

  somerss:
    priority: 1
    rss: http://some.rss.website/feed/location/
    template: tv

 

What it does in short:

 

global:

  defines "globally" that I want the files to be between 100 and 500 MB in size. (My preference, I don't care for 1080 HD tv series ...)

 

tv:

  series:

    tv:

      - NAME

      - NAME 2

 

list all the series you want to look for here ... In some cases I use multiples spellings ie: S.H.I.E.L.D and SHIELD to get them all

 

transmission:

  this holds your details to connect to transmission

 

tasks:

  This is what actually gets done.

 

somerss task will go to the rss feed provided and apply the tv template (as well as the global settings)

if it finds a episode matching your criteria it will send it to transmission for download.

It also keeps track of what was already sent and does not download the same episode twice.

There are lots more options in flexget, but that is what I use.

I then use filebot (another plugin by PhAzE) to rename and move the files.

 

 

I have not gotten the web GUI and scheduler to work properly.

So I am using an hourly cron job (/etc/cron.hourly/some_script.sh) to run flexget and also to do some other media file tasks.

/usr/bin/flexget -c /mnt/cache/Apps/flexget/config/config.yml --logfile=/mnt/cache/Apps/flexget/logs/flexget.log execute --silent  >> $logfile

 

 

 

Hope this helps
