Flexget, The tvdb.com and transmission

[ArowonA]

Hi Everyone,

Just got a VU+ duo2 box and am upgrading in someway from an openwrt router then a pi and now a VU+.
I'm liking it so far and have managed to get my flexget and transmission set up working, I don't really know what I'm doing, but am good at getting things to work.. So anyway, I figured I could do a write up but it would mean me wiping my box and starting again, so I though I would check if there was a need for it first?

Basically my set up is,

You add a TV program as a favorite on thetvdb, two times a day my VU+ box checks an RSS feed for the TV program torrent, if it's available it will add it to transmission to download and email me, after it has downloaded it removes it from the torrent list and into the VU+ library..

I understand this is probably not a suitable post for the community but if anyone would like a detailed write up, let me know and I will do it :)

[judge]

Yes, please do. Sounds interesting, some gray areas though...

[DaMacFunkin]

Would like a read of that myself, cheers.

[duoduo]

Me too please..

Installing transmission

I'm doing this from the TV as it creates the folder on your harddisk for you.
Menu --> plug-in --> green --> extension --> transmission

Then from the SSH shell we want to edit the config (I install nano for this as i prefer it to vi)


opkg update
opkg install nano
/etc/init.d/transmissiond start
/etc/init.d/transmissiond stop
nano /media/hdd/transmission/config/settings.json


The lines I want to change are

"blocklist-enabled": true,
"blocklist-url": "http://tbg.iblocklist.com/Lists/ipfilter.dat.gz",
"incomplete-dir": "/media/hdd/transmission/incomplete",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,
"rpc-authentication-required": false,
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/media/hdd/transmission/config/finish.sh",

The main change I make is to turn authentication off, just because I'm not making it accessible from the internet so I don't really need a password
this also requires editing the file /etc/init.d/transmissiond and changing the line

ARGS="-c $WATCH_DIR -g $CONFIG_DIR -a *.*.*.* -w $DOWNLOAD_DIR -p $RPC_PORT -t -u $USER -v $PASSWORD"
to
ARGS="-c $WATCH_DIR -g $CONFIG_DIR -a *.*.*.* -w $DOWNLOAD_DIR -p $RPC_PORT"

The other changes are not really needed, I'm not even sure if that blocklist is updated any more.
The script I choose to run after a download has finished is to remove the torrent from my list so I'm not sharing it anymore (not really considered a nice thing to do)
Once you've made the changes to the settings.json file if you press [ctrl] and [x] to save, then we need to make the extra folder, selfish script and set transmission to autostart


echo "#!/bin/sh
transmission-remote -l | grep 100% | grep Done | awk '{print $1}' |
xargs -t -n 1 -I % transmission-remote -t % -r
mv /media/hdd/transmission/download/* /media/hdd/movie/Downloads" >> /media/hdd/transmission/config/finish.sh
chmod +x /media/hdd/transmission/config/finish.sh
mkdir /hdd/transmission/incomplete
mkdir /hdd/movie/Downloads
/etc/init.d/transmissiond enable
/etc/init.d/transmissiond start

That's it, you can now go to http://ip-address-of-the-box:9091 and add torrents , not sure I really needed to make all these instructions as the plug-in works pretty well without doing all this stuff

Installing flexget

Run the following commands (I had an issue with this as I had just wiped my box and the date was set to 1970, so check this first)


opkg update
opkg install python-distutils
opkg install python-unittest
opkg install python-compile
opkg install python-pkgutil
opkg install python-sqlite3
opkg install python-xmlrpc
cd /tmp
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python
easy_install pip
pip install flexget
pip install transmissionrpc


Creating the config file

mkdir /media/hdd/flexget
ln -s /media/hdd/flexget ~/.flexget
mkdir /media/hdd/movie/TV
nano /media/hdd/flexget/config.yml

My config file looks like this (You can probably see it's not been updated for a while)

More details on the config options can be found on the flexget website, if you want to copy some of mine you will need to alter the email settings for your username/password, I created a gmail account just for sending notifications as the config file contains the password in cleartext. You will also need to add your TheTVDB account-id you can get this from Account settings on their website. Trakt i added as well to keep a note of what I'm watching, so if you want to use that add your username/password.

Once you've created your config file you can check it by running

flexget check
and then execute it by running

flexget execute

The final step it to add 'flexget execute' as a cron job but I think I've written enough for now.

Good luck, and if anyone sees a better way of doing something let me know

ArowanA

[ArowonA]

Just for my own reference, the latest update also requires
opkg install python-importlib

[vps11]

Can this be updated, the command stops working at - easy_install pip

Please Update the instructions.

[ArowonA]

I guess you're getting an error like this?
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/514
Looks like they've stopped support for Python 2 in the latest setuptools, you can manually download the ez_setup.py edit it and change the line
DEFAULT_VERSION = LATEST to
DEFAULT_VERSION = 18.4 and start it with python, or rather than running (in the instructions above)
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python try

wget https://phm.pw/ez_setup.py -O - | python, Hopefully it'll work.

[vps11]

I already have transmission so I skipped the transmission part.

it places this file in the tmp folder - setuptools-18.4.zip

this is the error i get:

[ArowonA]

You will need to install python-plistlib as well then, if you type
opkg install python-plistlib
and then try the setuptools command again.

[vps11]

looks good, now Im moving onto the next step.

[vps11]

got another problem

[ArowonA]

It looks like Flexget are no longer supporting Python 2 either, you will need to install an older version for now.


pip uninstall flexget
pip install flexget==1.2.521

unfortunately, i dont have access to my box to test this at the moment, but it looks like most of the errors are about the pdb module, so if you try installing that and see how you get on
pip install pdb

[vps11]

thanks arowana, when you have access to your box, I would be greatful if can you have a look

I think your options are either upgrade python to version 3, but that could potentially cause problems with OpenVix/Enigma2 or install an even older version of flexget, you could try this, still seems to have an error but it runs

pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -y
opkg install python-dateutil
pip install flexget==1.2.324
pip install transmissionrpc

[vps11]

Im using latest version of openvix, if thats any help.

cool, will have a look,

thanks for your time.

[vps11]

rebooted the box, then the box wouldnt boot so I hard to restore an image backup.

if I was to start again, what should I do differently?

[ArowonA]

Oops mine too, probably that 'pip uninstall' command wasn't a good idea, I can't test anything now but I'd suggest going through the steps in the first post but replacing two of the lines with
wget https://phm.pw/ez_setup.py -O - | python
pip install flexget==1.2.324 and see how you get on.

[vps11]

box starts up after reboot this time.

I'm pretty much out of ideas, I guess it doesn't work anymore. You could try removing the sqlite database, just in case it got created when you were using a newer version
rm /media/hdd/flexget/db-config.sqlite but if that doesn't work, sorry there is nothing else I can think to try.

i think this looks good, can you confirm?

The error is not ideal, but yes that's what I had earlier on my box and it seemed to run ok and start downloading somethings :)

[vps11]

whats the best way to test?, I haven't got any TV Shows due today on my RSS Feed

[ArowonA]

it depends, if you're using thetvdb favourites for the list it downloads, you can just favourite a show that's on your RSS feed to try it, and then un-favourite it afterwards.

[vps11]

i managed to get it working with thetvdb

how do I make it work with Karmorra?

[ArowonA]

The config from post #5 is configured to work with Karmorra, it just checks theTVDB.com for which shows you have as favourites and then it uses Karmorra to find a download link. It may be worth looking at the FlexGet cookbook as there are lots of options, for example.

http://flexget.com/wiki/Cookbook/Series/SeriesTransmissionshowRSS
As you are running an older version though, some things may have changed, so you'd have to work backwards through the UpgradeActions if something didn't work quite right

[vps11]

can you share your crontab please?

[ArowonA]

Mine is just
0 8 * * * /usr/local/bin/flexget --cron execute
0 15 * * * /usr/local/bin/flexget --cron execute So it runs at 8am and 3pm, I guess I could change it to one line like

0 8,15 * * * /usr/local/bin/flexget --cron execute
but it's been working so why mess with it :)

[vps11]

cron doesnt work,

also tried

0 8 * * * /usr/bin/flexget --cron execute

its not in "local" folder in my verion openvix.

I will do some googling while I wait for your solutions.

[ArowonA]

Yeah sorry, I don't use it on my box any more, I went back to my Raspberry PI,
the command line should be as you have it above, it should work. how are you adding the line to crontab?
First you'll need to install cron from the Openvix menu, I think it's in Timers / Crontab , then on the box type

crontab -e and (assuming you've installed nano) just paste the line above, then [CTRL] + X and Y and that should be it.

[vps11]

Cant get it working on opevix 4.2

Any one have step by step install guide for openvix 4.2?

[vps11]

anyone know why it doesnt work on the latest version of openvix?
