Description

The results of a search of retroflix will be missing a torrent if that torrent is dead(no seeder). This makes cross-seeding more difficult.

The results are included in the webUI on the website and via API but only if you include includingDead=1 with the api. I can only assume that jackett is not passing include dead param as thats why its missing the dead torrents.

e.g
curl -X GET "https://retroflix.club/api/torrent?imdbId=tt0480922&includingDead=1" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: <API_KEY>"

you are correct, the speedapptracker abstract which the speedapp and retroflix indexer use, does not currently add the includedead parm.
I shall update the abstract to include it.

@garfield69 Thanks.

I assume its the API ye are using to search or are ye scraping the site? I never tested on speedapp but if ye are using API then it may be the same for that indexer too

[garfield69]

the abstract is using the API as documented at https://speedapp.io/api/doc but given the docs are v1.0.0, it has clearly never been updated after the includingDead parm was subsequently made available, as I have tested the parm just now on both indexers and can now get seed=0 results.
[edit] https://retroflix.club/api/doc is the same.

We've missed the Jackett release window, so this will be included in the next release that is due out in about 22 hours or so.

that retroflix docs is well out of date too. I figured it out from using the private API the browser uses when searching the site.

Most of the params for uploading dont work and the staff at retro dont even know the correct params for things like description.

thanks for the work.
