Automatic 0.6.2 on Duo Issues
I've been trying to get automatic running on my Duo for the last few days with little to no success. I'm not much for unix so that doesn't help matters but i'll walk you thru where i've gotten to.
i have the automatic bin installed and am currently starting the daemon manually so i can pass it custom paths to where my config file is (why on earth it's it /etc/ and not in c/addons-config/ i'll never know) and where to output a log file. for example:
based on another thread for automatic (x86 version) here on this board i've configured my automatic.conf file as such (i've removed all the commenting to keep this code box small and readable:
as you can see i've changed some things etc, hopefully they're correct. i wish the automatic.conf-sample had actual examples in it!!!
anyway, the log i'm generating is throwing this at me at level 1:
any ideas? i've tried various setups using external instead of 1.3 to just try to save .torrent files to my sources directory and let transmission do the watching and starting itself but those attempts haven't born any fruit either.
thanks,
hellbent

automatic -v 5 -l /c/addons-config/automatic/auto.log -c /c/addons-config/automatic/automatic.conf
based on another thread for automatic (x86 version) here on this board i've configured my automatic.conf file as such (i've removed all the commenting to keep this code box small and readable:
transmission-version = "1.3"
rpc-host = "localhost"
rpc-port = 8181 (i assume this port is the same as the transmission web-access port? its the same port i use for transmission-remote-dotNet)
rpc-auth = "MYUSER:MYPASS"
feed = { url => "http://ezrss.it/feed" }
interval = 30
# upload-limit = 10 (unchanged)
# use-transmission = yes (disabled for testing)
# start-torrents = yes (disabled for testing)
torrent-folder = "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/"
statefile = "/c/addons-config/automatic/automatic.state"
filter = { pattern => ".*" folder => "" }
as you can see i've changed some things etc, hopefully they're correct. i wish the automatic.conf-sample had actual examples in it!!!
anyway, the log i'm generating is throwing this at me at level 1:
../src/web.c, 523: Upload to 'http://localhost:8181/transmission/rpc' failed: number of redirects hit maximum amount
any ideas? i've tried various setups using external instead of 1.3 to just try to save .torrent files to my sources directory and let transmission do the watching and starting itself but those attempts haven't born any fruit either.

- anyone? bueller? bueller?
- Sorry, missed your initial post. The best thing would be to disable Transmission support in automatic and let it write the torrent files to a folder that's watched by Transmission instead. The RPC method doesn't seem to work reliably.
-Stefan - thanks for the reply, i've been away but hope to try your suggestion soon.
- okay, did some more playing this afternoon.
I'm assuming that you want me to set transmission-version to "external" since if i just remark out that whole line automatic seems to default to 1.3 (at least that what it looked like in the log).
i've been getting "[getHTTPdata]:number of redirects hit maximum amount" errors when i use the feed url i wanted to so i've setup a feed on mininova which doesn't error like the other for testing. one thing at a time...feed = { url => "http://ezrss.it/feed"
url => "http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml" }
I've also setup a filter for ".*" which i'm thinking should download ALL torrents (as a test of course, i've set transmission to ignore the watch folder for the momement).filter = { pattern => ".*" }
however, the source folder isn't filling up so i'm assuming either my feed entry isn't right or my filter is wrong...
one other question: where/how is automatic called/started when I enable it from frontview? i'd like to modifiy that command to use my alternate paths for the .conf, .state and log files. - Actually I meant setting "use-transmission = no" in your config and changing the "torrent-folder = "/tmp"" to your needs. The starting / stopping is done via the aptly named scripts in /etc/frontview/addons/bin/AUTOMATIC.
-Stefan - Ah, found the start.sh and modified it. that should make testing a lot easier.
i've setup "use-transmission = no"
do you find that the feed or the url works best? i'm not getting any errors based on the logs now but i'm not downloading the torrents to my specified directory either. i'm parsing on ".*" at the moment...[10/06/01 18:13:35] ../src/automatic.c, 560: ------ Checking for new episodes ------

As far as the url vs. feed goes: I have found feed to work, didn't try url at all.
-Stefan - i think it's the one you fixed. frontview reports "v0.6.2-readynas-0.9.2"
- oh snap! i missed that!
