Well, you have to tell Automatic what you want to download.
Since the tool is meant for reoccuring stuff, like TV shows, you specify a filter, or a pattern, that describes what you want to download.

Look in the config file at the "patterns =" section.

So, for example, you want to automatically download that favorite show of yours "My Favorite Show", you change the automatic.conf like this:

patterns = {
      "My.Favorite.Show"
}

For each additional show you just add a new line.

Yes. If you want to grab everything, use that expression.

HTTP Error 409 means "Conflict". Transmission uses it to assign a session ID to each contacting client, which expires after 30 minutes or so.
This was necessary to prevent cross-site scripting attacks, if I remember correctly.

You can ignore the message. It is just there for debugging purposes.

Automatic received a valid session ID (as seen above) and repeated the request. This time Transmission gladly answered with the RPC version.

I had that same problem. 

chmod 777 automatic.state

took care of it...

Hello everyone

I have configured automatic and I have this URL as rss in automatic.conf


url = "http://xbt.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/rss.php?feed=dl:COOKIE:uid=xxxx;pass=7cd1fb0cf01881ae3f3f328add5f91c7"

this url is a private tracker

and returns me this error log

[getHTTPData] 'pass = 7cd1fb0cf01881ae3f3f328add5f91c7': Could not resolve host name
Error: Unable to parse input data!

I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi there,

That's actually a bug there, you didn't do anything wrong. I'll tryto release a fixed version this weekend. Will keep you updated here.


Cheers!

I'm experiencing an issue with Automatic which is causing a few headaches.

Basically my internet connection is a bit 'flaky' and will drop out from time to time.  Now what I've noticed is that if Automatic is checking the RSS feed it just hangs and doesn't download anything until I kill the process.

When enabling -v 3 I can get it to hang at this point:

../src/automatic.c, 345: Adding 'The Simpsons S21E04 Treehouse of Horror XX HDTV XviD-FQM' to bucket list
../src/regex.c, 28: [init_regex] Regular expression: .*
Found new download: Desperate Housewives S06E04 The God-Why-Dont-You-Love-Me Blues HDTV XviD-FQM (http://torrent.zoink.it/Desperate.Housewives.S06E04.The.God-Why-Dont-You-Love-Me.Blues.HDTV.XviD-FQM.%5Beztv%5D.torrent)
../src/regex.c, 28: [init_regex] Regular expression: Content-Length:\s(\d+)
../src/regex.c, 97: [isMatch] Text to match against: Content-Length: 14693
 (23 byte)
../src/web.c, 72: Content-Length: 14693
../src/web.c, 329: [getHTTPData] response code: 200

Now if I go and do a wget on the torrent file it will show a status [--stalled--] which is what I think is happening in the Automatic.

Now the other issue with this is that if I kill the process because it never finished and wrote out to the state file it tries to download them all again (If i've deleted them from Transmission).

So it is possible to add the following features:

+ So sort of timeout while waiting to download the torrent
+ Writing to the state file after successfull download and add to transmission - rather than at the end of run

It's definitely not breaking after 30seconds and is causing the whole process to stop.

Hey guys,

new version 0.4.2 is now up at the first post. Sorry for the wait.

@magnazan, let me know if your problems with Automatic not timing out are fixed. I had a hard time testing this, so any info is appreciated


Cheers!

Hm.

automatic.state is not supposed to be directory, but a file. Automatic uses it to store the URLs of downloaded files, so they won't redownload every 10 minutes or so

Delete the folder, then it should work.
Still, I'm curious as to why it is a folder on your hard drive. Automatic surely didn't create it.

magnazan wrote:

+ When a torrent download times out can this be retried each time automatic runs

Unless a torrent is successfully downloaded, its URL won't be stored in the internal history (and the statefile). Thus, with every new feed-checking interval, it should automatically be rematched and redownloaded.

magnazan wrote:

+ In addition to the above maybe an option to say if after 3 timeouts for a torrent then ignore it (Add it to the automatic.state)

Yeah, that should be doable. I'll add it to the TODO list.

I must say, if your network connection is so flakey even when downloading tiny .torrent files, how can you efficiently make use of Bittorrent at all? :)

First KyleK Thanks automatic is cool, and works great with my torrents.

Now I'm trying to get automatic to download .nzb instead of .torrent from the following feed http://www.tvnzb.com/tvnzb_new.rss
Its working but there are two issues:

1 - all the download files are given a .torrent extension (not really a problem, I have written a script to change the extension back to .nzb)
2 - The rss feed has a link to the file "http://www.tvnzb.com/nzb/31746" which in turn is the "my.show.s01.e01.nzb" file. automatic is saving the file as "31746.torrent" so when its queued up in nzbget I have no idea what it is untill I check the automatic log or its downloaded!

Is there a way to have the file named as "my.show.s01.e01.nzb" rather than "31746.torrent"?

automatic.log - names changed to protect the innocent -shows

wrote:

Found new download: My.Show.s01.e01-XviD-FQM (http://www.tvnzb.com/nzb/31746)
Saving state (48 downloaded torrents) to disk

I understand this is not what automatic was originally intended for but any assistance would be appreciated.
