Hi Guys
Ok here is the problem i want to be able to add a rrs feed into a seedbox im using (rutorrent, deluge etc) so i can download torrents straight away instead of having to wait for a new torrent to hit the site and then add it manually to the box and then discover it already has a number of seeds on it....
Hopefully someone can give me a detailed description as im not very knowledgeable when it comes down to a seedbox.
Thanks for any help :D
Yeah , I hope someone can help us , cause I badly need to do this in BitmeTV :@
yes ditto the main reason i need to know aswell
Flexget will work for both deluge and rtorrent. Just will have to configure it to download the .torrent to the watch directory. But it has no gui frontend like rutorrent. rutorrent already has a rss reader. https://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginRSS
After setting it up, you will need to add the bitmetv cookie in the cookie plugin. https://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginCookies
To get the cookie in firefox, you can right click on bitmetv page -> view page info -> security -> View cookies.
After getting the cookie values, need to put that in cookie plugin of rutorrent
bitmetv.org|uid=value;pass=value;<there's a third cookie for bitmetv>
It should be able to download the .torrent files now.
For deluge, there is a rss plugin but it doesn't work all the time. I prefer flexget. It can be used with rtorrent too but needs root access to install it. But its more flexible, better filters, more options, you can also tell it to download torrents between a certain size (in mb) which can't be done in the rss plugin.
thank you ice for your useful guide i will try give it a go so thank you for your time and posting to my query
It was probably not very detailed but if you get stuck somewhere, you can ask me.
And while testing, make sure to have it to add the torrents in paused state else you might end up downloading the unwanted torrents. Unlike irc announce channels, rss will get the last 15 entries in rtorrent rss plugin and in flexget, it get the last 50 entries.
seem to be having problems installing flexget on a 64bit windows
is there just not a exe file of flexget or do i need to do it another way as seeing something about using cmd and installing it that way but its not working
I havent ever used it with windows. But here is the guide: http://flexget.com/wiki/InstallWizard/Windows
Inside c:/program files/flexget, there will be a file called flexget. You will have to use windows scheduler to run it in every few minutes. There's another file called config.yml This file contains the rss feed url, and the configurations, filters, cookies, etc
Note: If you're running 64-bit windows the installer may not work. If so you will need to download ez_setup.py and run that (eg. python ez_setup.py). This will place the easy_install executable in c:\Python2X\Scripts\
and when clicking on the setup link just taking me to info about it and no actual set up....
thanks for the help appreciate it but im useless when it comes to these kind of things lol
Put in a help ticket with the provider. If they're a good provider I'd hope they could install everything for you. Check their site for additional information while you idle in their IRC. Good luck.
or i might just give up lol.....maybe thetrader can help me out as its on his box im using :biggrin:
.py can't be doubled clicked to run unlike exe.
You need to go to commandline and use
python filename.py
yes i did try that ice but come up as unrecognisable
ok, here it is
1) python2.7.3
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/p....7.3.amd64.msi
2)setup tools 32 bit for python2.7.*
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/...ddfc9746bbaf20
3)http://flexget.com/wiki/InstallWizard/Windows
Download ez_setup.py (right click and save link as or something similar) save it in c:\
4)Install python (downloaded in step1)
5)Install setup tools downloaded in step2
6)open cmd
>>python c:\ez_setup.py
This will change the setup file in C:\Python27\Scripts so it can be used in 64bit windows
Then double click on C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe
Then open cmd and install flexget:
C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe flexget
If your on a pulsedmedia Seedbox then check their wiki page I could have sworn I seen something there on this subject
ah ok thx will check it...and thanks guys for all your fast replys and helpful information pretty much sums this site up....great tight community :top:
will close thread guys thanks
