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: automatic -v 5 -l /c/addons-config/automatic/auto.log -c /c/addons-config/automatic/automatic.confbased 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 amountany 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

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

I think the configuration file is intended to be self-documenting. The most troublesome part seems to be setting up filters and patterns. But the best references for these are actually documents regarding regular expressions. Plenty of those out there, and it's definitely tricky to get the ?! and ?= just right. ;-)

Oh, by the way. For those of you using Automatic with TVTorrents... there is a MUCH easier way to set up includes and excludes now. They have a "mytaggedRSS" feature to replace the standard "favorite" RSS feed. This new features offers "include" and "exclude" parameters that can be used to wildcard filter the feed /before/ your RSS client (including Automatic) sees it.

So I've converted mine to this and have been able to simply use a filter of ".*". Upshot is that if you want to do different cuts of filters, you simply specify multiple feed URLs with different parameters. And if you want to apply those filters to specific shows, you merely apply the tags (in TVTorrents' site) to just those shows.

VERY handy, and makes using Automatic even more... automatic! ;)

Can you post conf which really works!

My:

transmission-version = "1.3"
rpc-host = "localhost"
rpc-port = 9091
rpc-auth = "admin:password1"
feed = {url => "http://ezrss.it/feed"
url => "http://thepiratebay.org/rss"}
interval = 30
use-transmission = no
start-torrents = no
torrent-folder = "/tmp"
statefile = "~/.config/automatic.state"
filter = { pattern => "Star.Wars.The.Clone.Wars.S03E*HDTV.XviD-FQM" }

produce:

wait, i got it. the parser is VERY particular about having the curly braces on the following line and no extra whitespace or tabs. seems to be working with multiple filters now.

trying to set the permissions on the script file and keep getting permission denied.

Script is located:
/usr/local/bin/

any ideas, any attempt to do anything with the file bar deleting it is met with permission denied
