Feed Transmission via RSS

[Giuly]

Hi,
I'm tired of doing the same thing every week at about the same time over and over again. If you could feed Transmission with an RSS-Feed, you would have the files finished when you come home instead. Vuze kind of does, but Vuze it too heavyweighted and this is just a simple feature.

FlexGet

Automatic

The developers have repeatedly stated they have no interest in a built in RSS feature.

And there are others:

another one also called "Automatic" but it runs on Linux (not a GUI application):

I use this last one (actually an old version, this post reminded me to upgrade), on a NAS.

i use a personalized derivative of mytv
it too as a headless linux (perl) script, that interfaces with the daemon's rpc

its designed to run from cron,
using a config file you provide all the RSS feed URLs & regEx rules for matching/sorting

it checks for new shows
then it checks for completed stuff & moves it acordinglly

i moded the perl so -r checks RSS and -m moves stuff around
... cron does -r every 10/min
... daemon-on-complete does -m when the time is right

i added a bash script to email [my.cell.#]@[my.provider]
now i get a txt when it starts/finishes something

it notifies xbmc to scan for a new file
( i dont bother unrar'ing stuff anymore, xbmc is king )

It would be nice to have a graphical interface for flexget along with the transmission ...

It would be nice to have a graphical interface for flexget along with the transmission ...

GUI for FlexGet is planned for a later release, but that is not a topic for this forum.

Hi, I had a github project to perform this job: https://github.com/sebastianperruolo/torrent-rss-client

Hope it helps.

I have a python script to do this at: https://github.com/lupus78/feedtransmission
You will need cron to monitor a feed.
