I am having troubles with flexget connecting to Transmission. I can connect to the web interface, and everything seems to be ok there. Transmission is running as a system service, Flexget is running as a cron job when I get it working. The system is Debian 8.5 Jessie, Python v2.7.9, transmission-daemon v2.84, and Flexget 2.0.40

Whenever I run flexget execute, it finishes up with the following lines:

The template plugin in Flexget is great, but it has its limitations; you wind up repeating yourself a lot anyway. Enter: YAML anchors! They'll let you do templating at a much more granular level. Here's an example config (NOTE: the below config relies on the fact that Flexget doesn't validate tasks/templates prefixed by an underscore):

templates:
  anchors:
    _transmission: &transmission
      enabled: yes
      host: '{{ secrets.transmission.host }}'
      port: 9091
      username: '{{ secrets.transmission.username }}'
      password: '{{ secrets.transmission.password }}'

    _trakt_credentials: &trakt-credentials
        username: '{{secrets.trakt.username}}'
        account: '{{secrets.trakt.account}}'

  series-transmission:
    transmission: 
      <<: *transmission
      ratio: 5
      path: '/Volumes/Drobo/downloads/tv/'
      
  movies-transmission:
    transmission: 
      <<: *transmission
      ratio: 5
      path: '/Volumes/Drobo/downloads/movies/'

  series-trakt-list: &series-trakt-list
    trakt_list:
      <<: *trakt-credentials
      list: 'TV Queue'
      type: shows
      strip_dates: yes

tasks:
  series-trakt-clean:
    priority: 107
    template: [series-trakt-list]
    disable: seen
    list_remove:
      - <<: *series-trakt-list

  transmission-clean:
    priority: 999
    disable: details
    no_entries_ok: yes
    clean_transmission:
      <<: *transmission
      transmission_seed_limits: yes
      delete_files: yes
      finished_for: 5 days
      directories:
        - "/Volumes/Drobo/downloads/tv/.*"
        - "/Volumes/Drobo/downloads/movies/.*"

Use &achrorname to define an anchor, then you can reference it with <<: *anchroname. Anything scoped below the anchor will be copied when you reference it. You can even override values defined in an anchor, though my example doesn't show anything like that. https://gist.github.com/bowsersenior/979804 is a good quick overview of anchor syntax if you want to learn more.

I have been using this task to update my trakt series list (not collection) with the series that im watching:

It used to work just fine, but i noticed that since the list plugins update its behavior has changed. It now adds the same show to the trakt list for as many times as episodes i have. I know that even with the season and episodes stripped, im still feeding it all those episodes. The thing is, it used to work as i intended.

I recon it would make more sense to have something like this:

  update-series-list:
    priority: 41
    template:
      - disable-seen-retry
      - series-metainfo
    filesystem:
      path: '/{{secrets.folder.root}}{{secrets.folder.series}}'
      retrieve: dirs
    accept_all: yes
    if:
      - tvdb_status == 'Ended': reject
    list_add:
      - trakt_list:
          account: '{{secrets.trakt.account}}'
          list: '{{secrets.trakt.series}}'

But it doesnt work, because apparently it can not parse series names without any ep info:

2016-06-12 07:44 DEBUG parser_internal update-series-list Parsing series: Silicon Valley kwargs: {'identified_by': u'auto', 'name': None, 'allow_seasonless': False
}
2016-06-12 07:44 DEBUG parser_internal update-series-list Parsing result: roper=0,status=INVALID)> (in 1.42 ms)

Any suggestion on how to get around this?

Hi all, Just updated flexget and had lots of issues, but managed to solve and now I have version 2.0.42. But after uninstalling, I deleted the .flexget folder on my personal folder to make sure I'd get a fresh install and now that it's updated the folder doesn't exist anymore. In this new version the folder is placed somewhere else or I have to run some commad?

PS: already checked ./config/flexget and doesn't exist either

I created a little script called cleantorrents to remove fakes. The goal is to remove the file and remove the episode (or complete show) from the database. The script is kicked off by:

  sort-series:
    exec:
      allow_background: yes
      on_exit:
        phase: /home/<username>/Scripts/cleantorrents

The cleantorrents script has several parts. The first part looks for fakes and outputs their location to a file:

find <location_of_videos> -size +100M -type f -exec file -N -i -- {} + | grep 'dosexec\|application' | awk -F ":" '{print $1}' | while read line; do echo $line >> /tmp/fakes; done

The second part actually deletes the files:
cat /tmp/fakes | while read line; do rm -v "$line"; done

The third part tries to remove the series from the database:
cat /tmp/fakes | awk -F "/" '{print $(NF-1)}' | while read line; do flexget series forget "$line"; done

The first two parts work fine. The third part doesn't work. The output I get is:
2016-06-17 15:31 VERBOSE ipc Running command 'series forget "<series_name>"' for client.
But the series is not removed from the database.

Any suggestion how to solve this?

I have been playing around with FlexGet for the past few days. I noticed there is a plugin called TimeFrame which can fallback to a certain quality after some time has passed and no results were found.

I was wondering if there is a way to combine this with content_size ? Lets say that I'm looking for a 720p hdtv release which is no greater than 500mb and if none is found within X hours it would fallback to another quality and content_size

My config file has been working great for several months now. Today I decided to added in an if trakt_collected: reject option so that it doesn't try and find files I downloaded directly.

When I saved the config file and did a verify I got a very long list of errors, with the first line being

Could not start manager: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz-2016.3.dist-info/METADATA'

I commented out the trakt_collected check and everything verifies correctly.

I am currently on 2.0.12. I see that version 2.0.50 is available, but don't want to risk updating until I get the METADATA problem resolved.

Hi,

Then, my Imdb watchlist is always empty except a few times when I had a movie but is emptied right away after execution. My issue is my log is flooded with warnings :

I created a trakt.tv account and am using my config.yml file to check my RSS feeds for episodes contained in this list. Well the issue I see at this moment is, if the rss contains the show (let's use Lost as an example) it downloads EVERY episode of Lost.

Is there a way I could set my config.yml to say only download any episodes that do not exist in

C:\Lost\

Now the caveat would be, I would download just a garbage file name such as

2008.Lost.Season01.Episode01.mp4

And my format would be

C:\Lost\Season 01\EpisodeTitle.S01E01.mp4

Hopefully all that made sense, but is there a way to use flexget to scan a folder and only download what is missing from the folder (by the end should only be "new" airings)?

From reading http://flexget.com/wiki/Cookbook/Series/trakt_manager I see that you can

...you can add the specific episode you want to start at to the My TV Shows list and it will be handled automatically.

Which is close to what I am after, but I do not want to download everything after a certain episode, I want to download anything missing from a folder.

I'm using the content_filename setting with the transmission plugin and when I do, I get an error like this:

Hi!
I have flexget working fine for some years and now I need to make some changes in my config. In the past, I used to add each series name in my configuration file. Now, my feed has hability to configure (using their web interface) which series I want in my feed. So my question is: is possible to forcer flexget to get everything in my feed, but keep controling episodes from series?
For exemple: if I want to add a new serie, I just add it to my feed site and don't need to change anything in flexget. Flexget would get everything from my feed, including this new serie, and keep controling episodes from all entries (ex: don't download already downloaded episode).
Is it possible?
This is my current config:

Hello Everyone!

I would like to share some of the details of our Flexget implementation and perhaps get some feedback or advice. We (tskmst & potaote) have been up and running for about 7 months now, and are tweaking and learning as we go.

The implementation includes many bits from a cookbook that can be found at http://flexget.com/wiki/Users/anon

We use our modified version of that anon/flexget script to extract, create folders, trim filenames and copy relevant parts of completed torrents by adapting the script written in PHP to Python.

A little bit of totally unnecessary information about our server:

Dell R610 running VMware ESXi 5.5.
PERC H700 controls 6x120GB SSDs.
ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA RAID controller runs a Dell J23 CFS that is almost half full with 10 x 3TB drives for media and a 2 TB for torrenting.

Running within the VMware environment are the Ubuntu Virtual Machines that run the media server and run the torrents. We use Ubuntu 14.04 for both the PLEX server and the download/terminal machine. The Plex Server, in addition to Plex also runs PlexPy and handles some downloading and matching of subtitles. The Terminal Server runs Flexget and Deluge w/ the python script.

How It Works

The user defines what will be downloaded by configuring customized watchlists on Trakt.tv for each category of content they wish to filter their downloads into. For example, we have Television, Documentary (series), Cartoons and we plan to add/complete the movies part soon enough too.

Each time the script is executed, it reads the RSS feeds provided by the various trackers, and if a match is made to an item in one of the watchlists, the script prompts deluge to download it while applying the correct label.

The deluge execute plugin is then automatically triggered by deluge upon torrent completion. It executes a python script that handles the file and folder needs at the destination while not altering the seed file so deluge can continue to seed uninterrupted.

This process also places the file on a separate drive, somewhat reducing competition for hardware resources when it comes time to stream the media or seed the source files. This separation also allowing us to treat torrent drives as disposable since their lifespan suffers from the intensive torrenting.

The execute.py script handles the extraction of the torrent contents according to the instructions assigned to its label. The torrent name information is parsed for the appropriate information such as title, episode and series, release, and quality before a check is performed to see if the destination folder or file exists, and if not creates any needed folders finally placing the file.

Just to give a little better perspective on the script, below are some log output examples of the deluge execute.py:

You are all welcome to use and modify as you please. Ideally we would like to receive feedback and continuously improve the script/config and share it to the community as we go.

config.yml example

I will not go into too much detail on the specifics. However if we do get enough requests, we will work on a small guide, and try to answer your questions the best we can.

My

flexget series check

I get a message informing me that there are missing episodes. Is there a way to have this command show me the missing episodes? This is the output from terminal

linux@linuxtest:~$ flexget series list
