Any future plans for IRC support?

Couldn’t seem to find any info on this. Does Sonarr eventually plan to support using IRC channels as search indexers?

Basically something like autodl-irssi? That would be pretty awesome, although I’d imagine a huge amount of effort! I’d love to possibly contribute to getting something like that working.

No plans for us to support it directly, but there is an API endpoint that supports it (no docs at the moment), some information is sent to Sonarr and if Sonarr sees it as wanted it grabs it:

I believe its:

POST

{
  title = "series.title.s01e01",
  downloadUrl = "http://url.com/release.torrent",
  downloadProtocol = "torrent",
  publishDate = "2016-01-07 00:00:00Z" (ISO8601 Date)
}

to /api/release/push

Sonarr will see if its wanted and grab it if it is.

Ah, ok, yeah I was wondering if there was some way to do that with the API, that would be really helpful.

When I poked around in the docs and didn’t see anything about it, figured it just wasn’t supported.

It is looking like I might be able to use a combination of these two projects, and push all IRC release announcements to Sonarr -


https://github.com/autodl-community

Or does anyone have something they suggest for reacting to IRC releases? Seems like most things just download the .torrent or such, instead of allowing you to determine the action.

@bitPhex was the original author of that endpoint, he might be able to share how he is using it.

I had one other question about the endpoint above, hoping someone could answer. Am I able to manually specify the indexer using this endpoint?

When I use only the 4 parameters mentioned, it ends up showing an indexer of “null” when the release is grabbed. Looking at the code, it looks like it binds to a ReleaseResource object. So, in theory can I pass additional parameters (like Indexer), and those will be saved if the release is grabbed? Or is that only going to work if I also have an IndexerId?

Edit: just ran a test, and it seems just passing along the Indexer string works perfectly fine, wooh.

Please keep us updated if you don’t mind as I would also love to get this working. I’m sure others are interested too :slight_smile:

If anybody is interested, a while back I made a simple script to use with autodl-irssi which will post torrents from announce channels to Sonarr to let Sonarr decide to download the files or not, using curl. There’s probably an easier/better way to do this but it seems to work. I’d imagine there must be some way to accomplish this as a single command from the upload-command in autodl-irssi but I couldn’t figure it out.

I don’t have anything to pass the indexer to Sonarr. Like you said though it should be easy to do. I’m also not sure what the publish date significance is so I just have it set to the date at the time the release is processed.

Disclaimer: I’ve never made any kind of bash script before so this might be a really stupid way to do it. Suggestions for alternatives are certainly appreciated!

Here’s a link:

Sorry to bump an old thread, but the script from @Zymest works perfectly with autodl and just to add, one of the Jackett devs say IRC support is a month or so off:
