Configuring Automatic 1.1.1 for x86 with Transmission 3.00.3

Configuring Automatic 1.1.1 for x86 with Transmission 3.00.3

I am having problems configuring Automatic x86 1.1.1 for my ShowRSS feed using Transmission 3.00.3 as my bittorrent client. I can see some of this, but I'm lost with some of it. I need clarification on my configuration options. I have tried several times to configure, but it fails to process my ShowRSS feed. All I'm looking for Automatic 1.1.1 to do is process my ShowRSS feed, and deposit the files into the designated 'torrent-folder =' folder.

transmission-version = "1.3"

If everything runs from the local PC?
rpc-host = "localhost"


When I open Transmission I see 'http://10.0.0.5:8181/transmission/web/', so I'm assuming the below is set correctly?
rpc-port = 8181


The 'rpc-auth=' I'm not real sure. As far as I know I'm not running 'Clutch', and is this ONLY relevant if 'Clutch' is installed?
# For Transmission 1.3x and newer only: If you configured Transmission/Clutch to use password authentication, Automatic needs that information as well
# rpc-auth = "user:password"


I'm not really sure how to configure the 'feed =' optionMy RssFeed (XXXXX out my unique ID) is:
http://showrss.info/rss.php?user_id=XXXXX&hd=null&proper=null


I'm not real sure how I configure the 'feed =' option based on my URL?
feed =  {  url          => "http://replaceme"
cookie => ""
id => 1
url_pattern => ""
url_replace => ""
}

interval = 30


In the below I have installed Transmission 3.00.3 and it should be running (it set to on in the add-ons), but not sure about Transmission-remote
# Automatically add downloaded torrents to Transmission (requires
# transmission-daemon and transmission-remote to be installed or use
# of "external" option)
# If this is not set, all Automatic will do is save the .torrent file.
use-transmission = yes


If I use the scheduler in Transmission, can I just set 'start-torrents = no', allowing Transmission to start the transfers based on the scheduler?
# Instruct Transmission to immediately start downloading torrents after being added
# If set to 'no' torrents will be added in a paused state
start-torrents = yes


Right now Transmission stores torrents in '/data/Transmission/Downloads'. I guessing if Transmission is setting the 'Default path to download torrents:', do I need 'torrent-folder = "/data/Transmission/Downloads"'?
# path where Automatic will store downloaded torrents
torrent-folder = "/tmp"


This I'm not sure of; I want Transmission to leave everything in the '/data/Transmission/Downloads' folder for right now. However if I # out the 'filter =' lines below Automatic will fail to start when I turn it On in the Add-ons.
#patterns =  { "Name.of.Something.I.Want.to.Download.Automatically.*HDTV"
# "Something.else.to.download.*720p"
# "(?!.*720p)Some.Video.But.Not.The.HD.Version"
# }

# A filter contains a regular expression which is matched against the RSS feed entries. Letter-casing does not matter in the regular
# expression. You can list as many filters as you want.
# Optional fields:
# "folder" ==> Set a specific download folder for torrents that match this regular expression
# "feedid" ==> Use this filter only for RSS items from the feed with the specified feed ID
#
# Please don't use curly brackets within a regular expression, it'll horribly break the configuration parser 🙂
#
# You can split very long patterns or folders (actually, any sub-option that is a string) over multiple lines, if you end the previous
# line with a '\' or '+':
#
# filter = { pattern => "This.is.a.really.long.*" +
# "regular.expression.spanning" \
# "multiple.lines"
# }
#

filter = { pattern => "Name.of.Something.I.Want.to.Download.Automatically.*HDTV"
folder => "/your/download/folder"
feedid => 1
}

filter = { pattern => "(?!.*(720p|1080p))Something.Else.I.Desparately.Need.To.Watch.But.Not.In.HD"
folder => "/your/download/folder"
feedid => 1
}

Re: Configuring Automatic 1.1.1 for x86 with Transmission 3.

feed is what you want to follow and download using automatic

torrent-folder must be set to /data/Transmission/Downloads /tmp is a bad idea

So I wnat to change:

feed =  {  url          => "http://replaceme"
cookie => ""
id => 1
url_pattern => ""
url_replace => ""
}

To:

feed = { url => "http://showrss.info/rss.php?user_id=XXXXX&hd=null&proper=null"
cookie => ""
id => 1
url_pattern => ""
url_replace => ""
}

I don't need to worry about any of the other items below 'url' option?

The '/tmp' folder was the default and didn't seem like a good idea.

Is there a way to jump start Automatic to check the feed on the fly for testing?

Re: Configuring Automatic 1.1.1 for x86 with Transmission 3.

I am unable to get Automatic to work at all. I have ShowRSS setup as my feed but nothing. Does Automatic even work?

Anyone here have ShowRSS working on Automatic as a feed?

Hi There,

Just read through guide and added all the options, as previous post said is there a way to check if Automatic is parsing the RSS Feed? / or if you have a feed configured correctly to check if it is reading it? (ie a log file)

(I went through this process when i first got my ReadyNAS, and gave up and couldn't figure it out , so am having another attempt)

do you need to use the filter parameters? (My ShowRSS Feed only populates the shows that I want, so i don't need to filter anything out)

Cheers
Dave
