cloud-torrent-dler

Auto-download from a cloud torrent provider (Seedr) and save in a folder (exposed to Plex, for example). Roll your own streaming service!

Installation

Pre-reqs

• A paid Seedr.cc account
  • No API or FTP access for free accounts :(
• A ShowRSS.info account (Free! They survive on donations. So do I. Hint hint.)
• Go v1.13+ installed

Install

• git clone
• cp config.yaml.template config.yaml
• edit config.yaml with your parameters
• make folders in Seedr to match your local folder structure
• first item in the array must be your folder for tv shows
• For example:
  • Seedr Folders:
    • ["Shows", "Movies/Kids", "Movies/Not Kids"]
  • Local folders would have to match:
  • /media/DataDrive/
    • Shows/
    • Movies/
      • Kids/
      • Not Kids/
• go build
• ./cloud-torrent-dler
  • use & at the end to run in the background
  • or run in a screen
  • or add to startup

Notes

• There is no way to programmatically do this without a paid Seedr account :(
• New episodes added to your ShowRSS feed will have the magnet automatically added to Seedr.
• Anything in the folder list from config.yaml will be automatically downloaded to a matching local folder under the DlRoot path
• This means that, currently, you will still have to periodically check Seedr and move downloaded files to the appropriate folders.
• Additional features planned
  • Automatically move episodes added via the ShowRSS function to the correct subfolder. This will allow full automation for TV episodes
  • Figuring out how do to something similar for movies.

TO DO

• Better error handling in general. I always put this off even though I know better.
• Refactor the download function - create a download queue that will be parsed through.
