Thanks man! this works!

Can anyone help me with changing the download location?

[kraleksandr]

Maybe u doing something wrong? Try again and be careful with /

Code:

mv /home/xbian/downloads /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/incomplete /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/torrents /media/usb/
ln -s /media/usb/downloads /home/xbian/downloads
ln -s /media/usb/incomplete /home/xbian/incomplete
ln -s /media/usb/torrents /home/xbian/torrents

@enzu1, what is the IP address of your RPi?

I have the RPi in the 192.168.x.x range but I access it from outside the LAN with port forwarding, anyway @kraleksandr solved me the problem with disabling whitelist in settings.json

Thanks for the quick replies!

[CurlyMo]

@enzu1, i just wanted to know if i needed to change something in the packages. But enabling the whitelist was just for security reasons as you described here. So users don't accidentally open transmission for the outside world.

Code:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-download

Various sites say it could be due to the corruption of a local version of the package. So maybe try another SD card?

I do wiht it

If the first install failed, you indeed need to do that.

Thank you very much to all. It works great community. For now the downloads are pretty slow. Someone could show me your settings file settings.json.

Mine is this, but I think it is wrong:

I can see your settings? I changed the mine for other.

great to see you have Transmission support. But anyone could already install Transmission, right? So why do it via xbian? I am new to Raspberry PI so please forgive me if this is a stupid question... I have some more

Does your solution also support Flexget? I am used to not downloading anything manually; every tv show episode downloads automatically when available via my uttorrent+rss feed. Using Transmission, this is possible via flexget. Then all it takes is 1 textfile containing the configuration for flexget, listing the tv shows to download, the rss feed, download location etc. Would be great if this textfile was just available to edit anywhere in my home network. I will receive my Raspberry Pi soon and test all of this out.

Anyone here already have a succesfull torrents-via-rss setup?

You are right, but the advantages of the packages we provide is that they're pre-configured and therefore work out-of-the-box. Also:
- I've compiled transmission as lightweight so is uses less resources
- I've patched nzbget so you can set a custom username
- I've patched sickbeard and couchpotato so it supports a custom username for nzbget
- I've patched headphones so it has nzbget support. Which the official port of the program doesn't have.

So, the advantage of the above is that all packages have the same username and password. Also, all packages can use the same download programs as in transmission and nzbget.

There have been for about 1,5 months of discussing and testing and this is what I came up with following these advices/wishes. Instead of utorrent and rss, we use sickbeard + transmisison and nzbget.

I managed to use transmission and Automatic. Checkout around page 4 of this thread.
But now I switched to sickbeard and nzbget with a free account from xsusenet.

Ok great thanks for that. About sickbeard + transmission + nzbget: I havent used newsgroups for a few years so I am outdated on that, but sickbeard and nzbget are focused on performing all kinds of tasks necessary when downloading via newsgroups while all flexget does is scan a RSS feed and outputs the correct magnetlink to transmission. I will test this out and if it works as expected on the Raspberry, post the details here so you can use it if you like. If you only download via torrents, all the other stuff isn't necessary.
