RssManager

Simple web frontend for managing RSS feeds in conjuction with transmission

Installation

Go to the desired location for the files on your server and clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/mortenn/RssManager.git
cd RssManager
git submodule init
git submodule update

Next, you need to copy config.default.php to config.php and edit it to input your own details. If you are going to work off of nyaa, you should only need to modify the database connection details and the TARGET.

If you want error reports from the site, set $alertmail to your email address.

TARGET is the destination folder where transmission should save your downloads. autoadd is wether or not the cron job should add torrents to transmission automatically.

For the RSS scraping to happen, you will need to set up a crontab to run the poll.php script. I suggest setting up your crontab something like this;

*/20 * * * * /path/to/RssManager/poll.php

If you have VLC installed, the play button will let you open the downloaded files either in your browser or in a new VLC window. The $embed configuration option controls this behaviour. $share should point to the correct path for your desktop to access the files. If you run everything on your desktop, this can be the same as TARGET.

Lastly, you need to serve up the www folder using a web server with PHP support.

Tips and tricks

To open videos seamlessly in a stand alone VLC when firefox has a VLC plugin installed, go into Options -> Applications -> Search for xspf and set action to Use other/VLC media player. But leave embed as true, otherwise firefox will force you to select open with/save as when you click play.
