September 9, 201015 yr Now that we are seeing lots of good torrent client work it makes sense to pair it with an appropriate RSS client. Most/all? of the famous ones requires python. Flexget works well but its a python monster. A simpler perl alternative is http://www.mroach.com/rss_fetch.html however it needs a few modules no in the default unRAID perl package. Anyone got any strong opinions or preferences?
September 9, 201015 yr Surprisingly, I have yet to use of automated RSS feeds. Though it's been on my list of things to get going, just never had the time to do the research. I imagine by now there's extensive filtering capabilities built in to narrow down what's fetched?
September 9, 201015 yr I use it extensively in uTorrent, but I haven't tried it in any other torrent software. uTorrent does have filtering capabilities (for example, only download torrents that contain the phrase '720p'), but it seems to be a bit hit and miss. It is amazing for TV shows, though - one click and you get each new episode as soon as it airs.
September 10, 201015 yr Author I believe I am correct in saying Flexget RSS is more powerful that uTorrent. At the very least it will give it a serious run for its money. For true tv show tracking Sickbeard is the future but its rss support is too specific as of yet. Even with sickbeard you still want an true independent rss solution. If i had my choice it would be Flexget but its as python as you get with an python install procedure that I have no clue how to get running on unRaid reliably. One thing is for sure though. For Transmission to be really useful we need an rss client
September 10, 201015 yr One thing is for sure though. For Transmission to be really useful we need an rss client Yes, Yes, Yes I use it all the time. I don't live in the UK, but I do have a few shows I really like watch so BitTorrent has been my friend in finding them and allowing me to view. RSS simply grabs them and I'm good to go.
October 5, 201015 yr Author Polite bump for October. Would really appreciate it if anyone could have a shot at this.
October 6, 201015 yr I've just finished install flexget on my unRaid. Here's the configuration to do install python wget http://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/d/python-2.5.2-i486-4.tgz installpkgpython-2.5.2-i486-4.tgz install setuptools wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg#md5=64c94f3bf7a72a13ec83e0b24f2749b2 sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg install ncurses wget http://ftp.riken.go.jp/Linux/slackware/slackware-12.1/slackware/l/ncurses-5.6-i486-3.tgz installpkg ncurses-5.6-i486-3.tgz install readlines wget http://ftp.riken.go.jp/Linux/slackware/slackware-12.1/slackware/l/readline-5.2-i486-3.tgz installpkg readline-5.2-i486-3.tgz install sqlite http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/database/sqlite/3.6.6.2/sqlite-3.6.6.2-i486-1sl.tgz installpkg sqlite-3.6.6.2-i486-1sl.tgz install pysqlite wget http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/libraries/pysqlite/2.4.1/pysqlite-2.4.1-i486-1sl.tgz installpkg pysqlite-2.4.1-i486-1sl.tgz then install Flexget wget http://download.flexget.com/unstable/FlexGet-1.0r1465-py2.5.egg easy_install FlexGet-1.0r1465-py2.5.egg easy_install mechanize mechanize is for RSS. I've put all the stuff in /boot/custom we would just redo it after reboot (I'm pretty sure we can auto do it but I haven't looked at that for now). FYI, my config.yml work on ubuntu with python2.6 but not on slackware with python2.5 (I've also tested it on a normal slackware) so good luck
October 7, 201015 yr Author Excellent work. SO about 20MB of files to download. Need to watch the python dependency's don't overlap with say sab users. And i dont know what it is but i just dont like the idea of egg files full stop lol Will test asap. Thanks again
October 7, 201015 yr well, I personnally prefer that the system retrieve the dependency (especially when there's a lot). So I like the egg stuff edit: I managed to have Python 2.6 and FlexGet working with my config file The step are the same except I use Slack13.1 package and I then have downloaded xz: wget ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/xz-4.999.9beta-i486-1.tgz installpkg xz-4.999.9beta-i486-1.tgz wget ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/ncurses-5.7-i486-1.txz installpkg ncurses-5.7-i486-1.txz wget ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/readline-5.2-i486-4.txz installpkg readline-5.2-i486-4.txz wget ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/python-2.6.4-i486-1.txz installpkg python-2.6.4-i486-1.txz wget ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/ap/sqlite-3.6.23.1-i486-1.txz installpkg sqlite-3.6.23.1-i486-1.txz wget http://slackware.schoepfer.info/13.1/slackware/misc/pysqlite-2.5.6-i686-1jsc.txz installpkg pysqlite-2.5.6-i686-1jsc.txz wget http://get.gnomeslackbuild.org/gsb/gsb-2.30_slackware-13.1/gsb/d/setuptools-0.6c11-i486-1gsb.txz installpkg setuptools-0.6c11-i486-1gsb.txz wget http://download.flexget.com/unstable/FlexGet-1.0r1465-py2.6.egg easy_install FlexGet-1.0r1465-py2.6.egg easy_install mechanize
October 7, 201015 yr after everyreboot, you need to reinstall everything (via the "GO" script perhaps), so you have to launch the installation of the egg too (via easy_install).
October 7, 201015 yr Author yeah as normal essentialy but where this diverges is along with your already donwlaoded deps you also have to grab some every single time from the net. no big deal just wondering if we can do it another way
