Well, since I have an iPhone, I built support for Prowl into Automatic, with which I get a push notification when a new torrent is added.
Unfortunately, that won't work with any other phone

But, Transmission allows for a script to be executed when a download completes, and you could use such a script to send you an email or do some other stuff.
Google around, I'm sure there are example scripts out there.

Hi KyleK.

First, let me say a huge "Thank you" for an excelent tool.

I ended up here looking for the same thing as lykle: push notifications. I took a look at Notify My Android, and it seems to work identically with Prowl! Actually, I think that by simply replacing these:

#define PROWL_URL "https://api.prowlapp.com"
#define PROWL_ADD "/publicapi/add"
#define PROWL_VERIFY "/publicapi/verify"

with

#define PROWL_URL "https://www.notifymyandroid.com"
#define PROWL_ADD "/publicapi/add"
#define PROWL_VERIFY "/publicapi/notify"

would just make it work

More details here: http://www.notifymyandroid.com/api.jsp

I would give it a try, but I have no ideea how to recompile and stuff.

Links are down... Is Automatic still available for download somewhere?? I had it working, but I need to re-install everything. Thank you.

No harm done.. I actually got the source files files from github, and managed to build an install following the instructions in the archive.

Now I have to rebuild that script I had working with Notify My Android

My internet is working again, so the packages should be available. Sorry for the downtime.

Hm. Looks like the web server wasn't reachable the moment you tried this on your NAS.
You say it works fine in your browser?
Does the URL resolve to the same IP on both machines?

Hi all,

I love this resource and have found it incredibly helpful so thanks to everyone!

I have a small issue with automatic on my DNS-323. Everything is setup and working fine. It is being fed torrents from my rss feed at showrss (a great resource btw) and looks for updates every 4 hours. Once shows are completed, I delete them from transmission and move them to my tv folder manually (prefer it this way).

However, when a new show gets added to the rss feed and fed to automatic/transmission, automatic/transmission adds it ok but also adds all the old files still in the RSS feed that have already been downloaded and starts downloading them, not remembering that it's already downloaded them (maybe because I've moved them?)

I have edited the path to the state file to be "mnt/HD_a2/automatic-memory and created a folder there but no files seem to be created in there?

Any suggested normal fixes?

Thanks,

Séamus

Have you restarted Automatic after specifying the new location for the state file? That file gets saved every time a new torrent was found.
You can also look into the log file, the path to the state file is logged there as well.

If the NAS is on the same network as your notebook/PC, it should have the same access.

Unless there's some firewall blocking outgoing connections from your NAS, I don't know what could be the reason.

My config file is starting to get unwieldy and the only thing changing is the TV show name. Is it possible to do any kind of grouping, so that I don't have to create a filter per download directory? Ideally I want to be able to do the following:

filter ={ "showlist=>\
"tvshow1" \
"tvshow2" \
"tvshow3"
pattern => "tvshow.*720p"
folder => "/mnt/TV/tvshow/tvshow.season##"}

I would prefer to simplify the filters so that I can control naming schemes with ease, rather than having to do a search and replace.
Would something like this be possible?

filter = { pattern => "(tvshow1|tvshow2|tvshow3).[sS]([0-9])*720p"
folder => "/mnt/TV/$1/$1.S$2" }

Why don't you download to a single directory and run a post download script that sorts/moves/etc the files?

I was curious if the capability to assign the download directory based on a match was possible with automatic.

Personally, I've seen too many programs get bloated and bogged down trying to cover all the scenarios for everyone. Shell scripts, perl scripts, etc are simple to write and can perform miracles. I'd rather see clean, clear, concise code that perform basic functions well rather than the Micro$oft approach of " Do everything half-assed" that almost does the basic functions.

Another way to look at it is that Yes, Automatic does it, by allowing for scripts to be run after a download :-)

Sorry if it came across as me trying to request features or expectations that automatic should be capable of covering the scenario I described. I was only wondering if it was already a built-in feature that I was overlooking. Thanks for sticking to the principle of keeping it simple.
