DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hy Kylek,

ok, but wath if a serie is in 2 diferent feeds and the are both from a diferent site then it is also going to download twice ...
that was 4 me the reason to add show specific feeds.

I think a user-configurable state size ( like x items per feed ) would be the awnser for me.

Kylek, I updated my DNS to v1.08 and suddenly I can't access transmission. Is there something that I should know?
Can you help please?
Thanks.

Disregard that last msg, I figured it out, I need a filter for some reason. Is there anyway to just get everything from the RSS feed? My RSS feed is already filtered within my torrent site.

I dont know much about filters or patterns, thanks in advance.

The first one works, thanks.

THe second however gave me an error that the pattern essentially doesnt work.

I wish there was a way to do this, but I dont think it is possible.

I have 3 private trackers that I want to set up RSS feeds for, 1 TV, 1 music and 1 movie. And I wish I was able to have a filter to send each seperate RSS feed into it's own folder. Since not all of my TV shows will have the same strings in them to catch the filter, and all the music doesn't follow a specific format.

I promise, once the heatwave in Germany is over and I can clearly think again, I'll tackle this much-requested feature

First up, Kylek thanks for your hard work on automatic, I've been using it for a few months now (Since I bought my 323) and it works a treat.

**EDIT** Problem Solved, I put a whitespace in and it works a charm.

filter = { pattern => "(?!.*720p)(?=1x1\s)"
           folder => "/mnt/HD_a2/Media/TV Shows/Pilots/"
         }

for anyone else who wants to do the same ;-)

My issue is simply a lack of logic on my own part, I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a filter issue.

Quite simply I'm trying to make a filter to grab all the pilot episodes from an rss feed. (EZTV)

I've tried a few iterations all with the same result.

filter = { pattern => "(?!.*720p)(?=1x1)"
           folder => "/mnt/HD_a2/Media/TV Shows/Pilots/"
         }

They all result in grabbing not just 1x1 episodes but all 1x10-1x19 as well. I'm only home for 15 days a month so this ends up grabbing a lot of crap I don't want. I've tried to make filters along the lines of "1x1(?!/d) and such but thus far I haven't been able to nut this out.

Any help would be appreciated. I know I'm not the only one who likes to grab all the new pilots.

Negative lookahead works with Automatic, he even uses it to exclude "720p" from any of the names.

I got the problem that I see some of the other here also have. I have not used automatic since before the summer, so I've forgot much of my knowlage

I try starting automatic manually:

root@nsa220plus:/ffp/start# ./automatic.sh start
Starting /ffp/bin/automatic -c /ffp/etc/automatic.conf
Error parsing config file: Unknown error
[10/08/25 17:38:43] ../src/automatic.c, 128: Shutting down daemon

What can I do to help you to help me to find the problem?

You should check file permissions first. After that, ensure it is a Linux friendly text file (i.e not edited by a Windows program such as Word as it messes with the CR/LF characters).

Try typing a simple new text file right in the telnet/SSH session and see if it loads ok.

Also, make sure the syntax in the file is correct i.e. all the opening brackets have a matching end bracket etc.

Hi, thanks for reply.

It worked with the same config-file in april, so I think it's a Linux friendly text file. But I think it's a good chance that permissions is the problem. The reason why I think that is because I had a conference with Kylek at IRC around April, and there was some problems with permissions about all over the place...

But, my linux-experience is not the best, so I'm not sure how I changes the permissions. Maybe you can help?


And by the way. How do I "Try typing a simple new text file right in the SSH session"?

I tried the following with no success:

root@nsa220plus:/ffp# chmod 777 start
root@nsa220plus:/ffp# cd start/
root@nsa220plus:/ffp/start# chmod 777 ./automatic.sh
root@nsa220plus:/ffp/start# ./automatic.sh start
Starting /ffp/bin/automatic -c /ffp/etc/automatic.conf
Error parsing config file: Unknown error
[10/08/31 22:56:04] ../src/automatic.c, 128: Shutting down daemon
root@nsa220plus:/ffp/start#

Did I do something wrong?

root@nsa220plus:/# chmod 777 /ffp/etc/automatic.conf
root@nsa220plus:/# cd ffp/
root@nsa220plus:/ffp# cd start/
root@nsa220plus:/ffp/start# ./automatic.sh start

The cookie-part is the way Kylek told me to do it for half a year ago, and then it worked.
Do you want me to edit my automatic.conf so it is identical with the part you pasted?

FWIW - polling every minute seems a bit agressive.
