Flexget installation

[zilexa]

WEB-UI for FlexGet? I didnt even knew it existed. The goal of Transmission+Flexget is to have a very lightweight solution for automated downloads via rss. Flexget will function as rss reader/episode filter and pass the torrent/magnet to Transmission. Thats all.

As far as I know, Sickbeard is focused on newsgroups and has limited torrent support (limited to TVTorrents and EZRSS. No support for the very user friendly and easy to use ShowRSS). It does have extensive postprocessing options, but with torrents you dont need any of it.
With FlexGet you are not limited any feed. And it has very good tv show/episode filter built in. A simple textfile containing the rssfeed and names of the tv shows you want and the quality you prefer is all you need. Store the textfile on a shared location and you'll be able to edit it when needed from any computer in/outside your network.

WebUI would be nice to have, users dont need to edit the textfile themselves. But it's mostly a one-time creation and then you will only edit the file if you want to watch add a new tvshow.. so its not really necessary..

ShowRSS has a very user friendly web interface where you can add shows to your feed. Even select quality. And if you ever missed a show its also very easy to check the schedule there. You could even say you dont need to configure anything for Flexget if you use ShowRss, only add the feed url itself. But I'd like to stay in control and use multiple feeds as backupfeed so then you do need to add the names and quality of your tv shows to the textfile.


I will be working on this tonight. New to Pi so I still have to connect my harddrive and setup NFS but I suppose thats all very easy.
