Install pip (required, dunnow why):
sudo apt-get install python-pip

Installing flexget:
sudo pip install flexget

FlexGet requires PIP to be installed. I have no clue about Linux.. but I wonder if there is a method to trim "PIP" down since its 63MB. Is this normal? I am just a bit afraid it will slowdown my Pi.
Is there a more "lightweight" solution to install FlexGet?

All I need is an automated (using rss), light torrent solution, no newsgroups or anything else. Transmission+Flexget is the easiest way to go. But I do want to be sure I install it correctly on the Raspberry.

I spend a lot of time getting xbmc fill my entire tv screen, didnt had time for flexget yet.. Now I reimaged my sd card and executed thhese commands. Unfortunately I found an issue.
When I reboot the Pi after installing Flexget, it doesnt seem to boot correctly. My tv doesnt receive any signal anymore. I am able to use ssh and xbian-config even says xbmc is running, but my tv receives no signal at all.
I tried reboot, shutdown, different hdmi cable and port no luck. How can I investigate this further?

Is it usable? (it was one of the condition for an app to be included in the package).
If not, wouldn't it be preferable to use the sickbeard branch that supports torrents more openly?

You mean Bricky's fork that supports ShowRSS, KaT and some others?

This might be a great idea! Would it be possible to add his fork to the download package? It would save the hassle of figuring out how to install flexget without breaking xbian/xbmc boot. Although Flexget is much more robuust and open and supports any feed, would be great just to have a Pi working like a charm and then experiment with Flexget.
