FlexGet with Transmission, sorting

Post by scarleo »

Hi, I have some trouble setting up FlexGet with Transmission. Their documentation leaves a few question so I hope someone here has experience with it.

I'm trying to sort the downloads with set: path but it doesn't seem to have any effect when passed to Transmission. I have tried to put it both in Transmission setting, like so:

Code: Select all

presets:
  
  transmission:
    transmission:
      host: localhost
      port: 9091
      removewhendone: True
      username: username
      password: password
      ratio: 2.0
      addpaused: No
    set:
      path: /home/user/Videos/Serier/%(series_name)s/Season %(series_season)02d
and with a feed:

Code: Select all

feeds:
  Toz_Dexter:
    rss: http://www.torrentz.com/feed?q=dexter
    preset:
      - transmission
      - tv
    priority: 10
    set:
        path: /home/user/Videos/Serier/%(series_name)s/Season %(series_season)02d
neither works, everything downloaded ends up in Transmission default download dir. I'm not sure if Transmission needs to be setup in some way for this to work. I got my config from here. I have modified it a bit to fit my need and some commands are outdated. Does anyone know how to sort the series into its own dir?

I believe path has to be used with the series plugin.. asking questions in the flexget IRC channel would probably be best.

Here is the simplest example I could think of... Remember than the YML formant requires EXACT spacing of the config file where each sub item is 2 spaces in.. This is in the FlexGet wiki notes.

Code: Select all

presets:
  Trans_RPC:
    transmissionrpc:
      username: myusername
      password: mypassword
feeds:
  MyFeedName:
    rss: http://Myfeedsite.com/
    preset:
      - Trans_RPC
    series:
      - My Show:
          path: /mnt/disk1/media/Video/My Show

This is the "relevant" parts from my config:

Code: Select all

presets:
  global:
    transmission:
      path: /mnt/data/torrents
  Anime series:
    set:
      path: /mnt/data/torrents/series/%(series_name)s/
    series:
      normal:
        - 1
        - 2
  TV series:
    set:
      path: /mnt/data/torrents/series/%(series_name)s/
    series:
      normal:
        - 1
        - 2

feeds:
  Nyatorrents Anime:
    rss: http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=rss&catid=1&subcat=37
    preset: Anime series
    priority: 5

  Tokyo Tosho:
    rss: http://tokyotosho.info/rss.php
    preset: Anime series
    priority: 10

  EzTV:
    rss: http://ezrss.it/feed/
    preset: TV series
    priority: 5
As you see I use the "special" global preset which applies settings to every feed, which can be overridden on individual basis.

Never tried using a preset for only transmission setting because as far as I understood it settings in one preset will not influence settings in another preset when "assigned" to the same feed.
