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.

- i ran into the same problem so i modified the startup routine to point to a config, log and state file i put in c/addons-config/automatic. saved me a boat load of time editing when i was first getting it up and running.

Yeah but that will only work when you have one of S-P's add-ons installed. Also I don't like creating additional shares automagically ;)
-Stefan- agreed, i was just relating my solution. something done via frontview is hotly anticipated!

No offense intended, I just wanted to say why I didn't provide something similar.hellbent wrote: something done via frontview is hotly anticipated!
Monday, maybe, if time permits.

Cool, thanks for the reply. I will try it the "old fashioned" way in the meantime then :)WhoCares? wrote: Currently only via SSH access. I'm working on a version where you can edit the config from within FrontView.
-Stefan- Hi,
Just wondering how I should get the different feed to go to different folder? Following is what I have in the automatic.conf. So I like all my TV show to go to the TV folder and the Anime to go to Anime folder. But using this setting, everything goes to the Anime folder.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanksfeed = { url => "http://showrss.karmorra.info/rss.php?user_id=4406&hd=null&proper=null"
}
filter = { pattern => ".*"
folder => "/c/media/Videos/TV"
}
feed = { url => "http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=rss&catid=1&term=%5Btaka%5D+naruto+720p"
}
filter = { pattern => "\[Taka\]*"
folder => "/c/media/Videos/Anime"
}
feed = { url => "http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=rss&term=yibis+one+piece+720p"
}
filter = { pattern => ".*"
folder => "/c/media/Videos/Anime"
} - same issue as OP -
../src/web.c, 523: Upload to 'http://localhost:8181/transmission/rpc' failed: number of redirects hit maximum amount
whocares - you mention not to use the rpc method, has this been fixed in the lastest 0.9.3 release or still has issues? (i'm using 0.9.3 - not sure if it's RPC having known issues, or me!)
edit: now i've moved to .torrent file, im getting the following error with 'automatic -f -v 3' via ssh../src/web.c, 95: Content-Length: 7625
../src/web.c, 438: [getHTTPData] response code: 0
../src/file.c, 95: Saved torrent file '/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/[filename].torrent'

i've confirmed the 6 torrent files are being saved in the stated location. also they get added to transmission sucessfully to. so im not quite sure why the above error is happening. - The error is happening exactly because of what the log says: Automatic expects the state file to be a file, not a directory. So you should point the statefile to some other place (file) like for example
/c/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/torrents/automatic.state
The file doesn't have to exist. Automatic will create it if it's not already present.
-Stefan - ok thanks for clarifying, and looks like i completely got diagnosis wrong!
i have a feed list of 3. all from the same site, with valid URL's.
feed 2 & 3 are correctly parsed (correct ammount of RSS entries), but they dont actually download the .torrent files.
i've sent you a PM with the feeds in question... - As asked in my reply PM: Did you tell Automatic what to download by defining any filters?
