Hello,
I use to use sonarr a lot when I use using usenet, but then switched over to the torrent world, so I might be requesting something/looking for something that might be common knowledge but I could not locate it, if it is I am sorry. I use torrents now and I have a seedbox, currently when my seedbox is done downloading something I manually start the program LFTP to transfer the files from my seedbox to my home computer, which is windows based. My question is that in sonarr after somehow linking it to my download client on my seedbox, rutorrent, is there a way for it to start some type of other program, be it syncthing or run a lftp script (which would be awesome) once rutorrent has finished downloading the file for me so as to get the file to my home computer?
Next question, I enjoy using autodl-irssi as a means to get some files from my torrent trackers in order to keep good ratio’s, but am not against using the rss feed in sonarr on torrent trackers that are not ratio based, but on those that do require me to have a good ratio I would like to keep using my current autodl-irssi setup. I say all of this to ask if my above request of getting sonarr to monitor my rutorrent client and then start a file transfer program like LFTP is possible can sonarr just monitor my rutorrent client constantly and when that a file is downloaded by means of autodl-irssi can it be made to kick start the LFTP transfer?
I use a seedbox atm, but I mount the remote path with nfs. I haven’t use your workflow with lftp, but you should look at the Sonarr api, to trigger Sonarr scan at the end of the lftp script, when the file is finished at Sonarr location. Make sure lftp places a folder with torrent name and the video file inside.
Sonarr can also execute custom scripts when the file is imported., in case you want to do something else
I have been looking around and it seems to be that mounting the external computer as a drive on my computer seems to be the most common process of getting the files from the seedbox to my local pc through the use of sonarr, and is what I will probably end up doing to. However until then using my current setup of doing the transfers through LFTP how do I setup up sonarr so that once a file is finished being transferred to my local computer through LFTP to a folder lets say named “TV_TEMP” how can I setup sonarr so that it takes the files placed there by LFTP and then transfers them over to their final resting place and named correctly automated?
That sounds great!! Will for sure keep an eye out for this! I propose the ability to add in a simple user defined code so that I could start my LFTP transfer.
Out of curiosity, what would you say is the most common things that people do after the file is finished downloading? I would guess run some type of converting software on the file to make it more media player friendly, like convert to MP4 or something? What other common things are done to the file after downloading it?
If is a rar release on the remote site, i use a custom script in sonarr that deletes the extracted video file once the file has been imported. I also being playing with telegram bot to send me custom notifications with the title of the release or send commands to sonarr through the telegram bot also
I know other people do audio and video conversion sometimes.
