Transrss

Transrss glues torrent rss feeds to the Transmission bitorrent client

Features

Consume feeds as provided by showrss.info
- No episode filter: your feed must provide only one release for each episode
- REPACKs and PROPERs replace the original release if present in Transmission
Rolling dedup cache of latest torrents
(Very) simple cache persistence

Building

Clone this repository
Enter the cloned directory
Build it

Cross compile to any supported golang platform. Example for RPI 1:

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=6 go build

Example for RPI 3:

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build

An example Dockerfile is provided for building an executable suitable for working under Alpine Linux running on an ARM device such as Raspberry Pi 1.

Usage

All options are listed in a (hopefully) self-explainatory configuration file. A command-line option can change the configuration file that will be parsed.

Usage of ./transrss:
  -config <configuration file>
        Cache path (default "./config.json")

Automate rss checking using your favorite scheduler. Crontab example:

Edit crontab file by running:

crontab -e

Add the relevant crontab entry (check every 30 minutes):

*/30 * * * * /absolute/path/to/transrss

Possible Issues

Only releases with episode numbers written as S##E## are accepted (where ## are digits)
Multiple releases for the same episode will be downloaded
- propers and repacks "cleanup" may not work reliably under this condition
Episode history (ie, if the episode has already been downloaded) is not implemented
- This is different from the cache: cache is based on torrent's hash, not on release properties
