[Part 1] Download torrent & newsserver package

[CurlyMo]

First package available for testing:

Code:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian
wget http://jb.xenserver.sk/xbian/xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb
apt-get install libpar2-0
dpkg -i xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb

Let me know if it works.

http://x.x.x.x:9092/
xbian:raspberry

To remove

Code:

dpkg -r xbian-package-nzbget
rm -rf /home/xbian/downloads
rm -rf /home/xbian/incomplete
rm -rf /home/xbian/torrents

Wow, that was quick.

BTW is there a way that transmission loads the settings from a different place than the standar?I'm having the issue with the resume files and system with not enough space

[CurlyMo]

No, don't know. Just wait for the new xbian transmission package

[harmenzon]

Great work! Looking forward to test nbget with sickbeard/couchpotato tonight.

[jasehadji]

Can you please tell me how I can change permissions to edit the nzbget.conf file? I use win7 and putty, wincp.

[CurlyMo]

Code:

sudo su

[Wijsneus]

I'm also having issues with Transmission:

- Not enough space available error (while there is plenty space available in my download destination, pressing 'start torrent' solves this.)
- All settings are returned to default when I reboot my Pi for any reason.


I also keep having problems with CouchPotato and Sickbeard: they can't be reached on their respective ports after a certain amount of time (not sure how much), or a reboot. The ports show no activity using the program 'NetworkView', while ports 9091, 9092 and 9093 do.

If there's no obvious solution to these problems, I'll just wait untill you release the new packages.
Thanks for all your work

If I play a 1080p film whilst Transmission is downloading then it does indeed lag. I have hacked together (read: badly made, I'm new to Python!) a script that will pause all downloads once you start watching a film and then resume them again once its finished

default.py: http://pastebin.com/fer29Zgn (edit your details on line 21)
addon.xml: http://pastebin.com/mFSB6qvN

Pop both of these files in ~/.xbmc/addons/script.torrentpause and restart XBMC. You will need the python transmissionrpc package, you can install it with `easy_install transmissionrpc`. It's quite limited but it does what I need, feel free to expand on it and I hope its of use to someone

I also built Transmission from the latest nightly build (2.75+) and compiled with:

Code:

--enable-lightweight    optimize libtransmission for low-resource systems:
                          smaller cache size, prefer unencrypted peer
                          connections, etc.

and noticed a slight improvement from the one in the raspbian repo (2.5?)

Nice work eth0!

Our goals is to provide easy-to-use packages. rTorrent and Automatic are just not easy to use because of the lack of gui. That's why they will be removed from the options list.

I understand, but Automatic seems to be the only functional torrent downloader:
I tried using SickBeard but it is limited to only a few RSS Torrent providers... I'm I doing something wrong with Sickbeard? Any other alternative?

BTW, when you removed Automatic from the list, my vote moved to Couchpotato, so count less one for Couchpotato

SolGarlic, since you use torrents like me, try to use mr-orange version https://github.com/mr-orange/Sick-Beard

I have been using it with piratebay and works perfectily

I successfully installed nzbget.
I had to make these minor changes to stop some errors with reading permissions:

chmod 777 /home/xbian/downloads
chown xbian:xbian /home/xbian/downloads

chmod 777 /home/xbian/incomplete
chown xbian:xbian /home/xbian/incomplete

chmod 777 /usr/local/etc/nzbget/nzbget.conf

But now still one challenge remaining.... It's not downloading....
I adopted the same news-server settings as for sabnzbd, which is running fine.
But the nzb's that I manually uploaded to the queue are not downloading.
Any ideas?

[CurlyMo]

Thanks, let me know if you find a fix for not downloading bug...

1.) This is a problem with the disk not being mounted (or with the wrong permissions) when Transmission starts.

2.) Transmission writes it's config to the file at shutdown. So if you edit while Transmission is running, they will be overwritten again.

nzbget tells me that password is invalid. As passwords I have first used raspberry and then tegbzn6789 but had no success to get sickbeard send downloads to nzbget.

[CurlyMo]

Please try:

nzbget:raspberry

or

xbian:raspberry

[jasehadji]

Sorry but none of them works.

[angriest]

For Nzbget - username xbian password raspberry works fine for me. Same problem with no downloading as harmenzon above though - can't see anything in the logs or messages to help I'm afraid
