Flexget installation

[zilexa]

I got Flexget working!
Steps

1. install pip

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

2. install flexget

Code:

sudo pip install flexget

3. now create a cronjob so that flexget will run hourly, checking your rss feeds and feeding Transmission.
First run:

Code:

crontab -e

4. A textfile will open, add the following line to the bottom:

Code:

@hourly /usr/local/bin/flexget --cron

5. create a config.yml file on your shared drive, for example your USB drive. So that you can access it from your network and easily add tv shows/change settings for quality and add feeds etc.

Code:

touch /media/usbdrive/config.yml

/media/usbdrive is actually my USB harddisk, change it to the path to your drive.

6. now change the default location of the config:

Code:

flexget -c /media/usbdrive/config.yml

7. test if flexget works

Code:

flexget --test

8. done. All thats left is to fill in your config file. I will post a default file that can be used and edited to anyones personal needs.

@CurlyMo, steps 1 to 4 would be great if a package would do this automatically, so that we can install Flexget Xbian-Config.
For the other 2 steps, changing the default location of Fkexgets config.yml file to an accessible network or USB location + create an actual empty file in that location: this could be an option inside Xbian-Config where one could simply fill in the desired path for the config file. Would be great!

BUT!
I still have the issue of no HDMI signal since I installed pip and flexget (after reboot). Even though via SSH still accessible and xbian-config even says XBMC is running, my TV doesnt get a signal!
@CurlyMo or any expert could you guide me in the right direction how to investigate this further? What logfiles could I check? where is the boot config file and how should it look? Or is there a topic about this? I havent found it.
