Enhancement idea: RSS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How about the idea to implement the use of RSS feeds?

This would be a nice feature I suppose. Although I don't use RSS feeds now, I 
might
if this was a feature.

I'll probably look into this after my exams/house move, so the beginning of next
month. It may have to wait until 3.10, because it's not a trivial enhancement 
and I
want to release 3.9 fairly soon after I have free time.

There are some howtos to add rss functionality to transmission. These 
instructions
mostly suggest to run a script via cron. I use such script in combination with 
Yahoo
Pipes which filters me the torrents i want.
Altough this method isn't very straight forward, I doubt that a rss feature 
would
enhance a remote control software like this is. I like to have running the 
machine
headless. Most rss-feeds only include the most recent torrents, and whats when I
haven't started transmission-remote a while?
To find the scripts, consult a search engine of your choice.

I would really love to see an RSS feature. It would really add to the 
usefulness of
the program, and transmission as a choice of client..

For those of use who are not into linux, the scripting of cron jobs on the head 
end 
isn't that easy.. A basic RSS GUI would be really nice since the transmission 
devs seem 
to be dead set against adding such a feature to the main app or daemon.

First, i want to nail down, i dont want to implement a full rss reader in TRD. 
There 
are many good rss readers, which can cooperating with TRD.

Add the rss name and url in localsettings dialog.

Hmm could rss reader be set separetly to each server (daemon) or just globally, 
i
mean could it be configured like server settings or is it impossible?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

why is it good to make reader separetly?

Original comment by elso.and...@gmail.com on 7 Mar 2010 at 6:50

To set different rss feeds to different TRD's (different servers) or just to be 
able
to select which feeds should be downloaded thru selected server/daemon.

Hey all, i am trying to build RSS download feature into the client. Just a 
backgroundworker who downloads the rss feed and adds new torrents to the server.
First I build it for myself, but if the owners think it's okay, i could try to 
make 
it more stable and contribute it.

So owners, let me know.

area61: hmm? the rss downloaded is implemented in r544. :o

Or what rss download do you mean? (you can attach the patch, if you have one)

Elso: Lol, looks like we did the same job.. :( I build (hacked lol) the rss 
functionality some time ago but just for myself, not generic.. So i though 
maybe i 
should make it stable and donate it... But looks like you build it already... 
I'll 
check release 544 and maybe i could build some extra features. 

I'm new to this Google Code thing, so I didn't know how to see you already 
build 
it..?

Cheers!

I have transmission-remote-dotnet-3.24 it shows a menu item to add torrents 
from RSS but the GUI controls are "disabled/not-enabled" so nothing can be 
done. (I have attached a snapshot)

Did you setup any rss feed at local settings dialog?

Does the RSS Downloader not have an option to automatically download newly 
added entries or am I missing something?

Original comment by ensil...@gmail.com on 30 Sep 2011 at 9:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Nope, no automatic download as of yet. If Are still has that RSS-hack for 
automatic download it would be neat. Until then some IPKG / Python / FlexGet / 
Transmission mix might work.

What I was looking for was a RSS feature which launch automatic download upon 
match with some criterias (ie: rss item name, etc) without having a PC up all 
the time.
I think this is more a transmission feature then a remote feature though.

In the meantime, I use webcron.org to lauch a php script checking rss entries 
and launching download on my nas (as I said I don't want my pc to be up all the 
day just the nas is enough)
