Sonarr RSS Bookmarks Feed Downloader

Help & Support
1

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question. I discovered Sonarr yesterday and I absolutely love it. I have it installed on a NAS running OpenMediaVault (awesome software by the way) and it’s connected to Transmission no problem. I successfully ran it last night, it’s even updating with my KODI/XBMC boxes on my network.

My question:

I have an RSS feed of my bookmarks from a private tracker. I want to be able to set Sonarr up to receive the RSS feed and then just pass it to Transmission, letting Transmission download it to its default directory. Iv’e set up the RSS feeds and tested them through Sonarr and they work. However, Sonarr does nothing when I bookmark a torrent.

Is there anything that can be done?

The reason that this would be helpful is that there is no RSS support in Transmission and hence, on my OMV box.

Thank you again!

I found it a little bit strange what you’re doing. Doesn’t your private tracker provide a rss feed you can use instead of adding bookmarks to your private local feed?

Also assuming that adding the bookmark works and it goes to your feed. Sonarr won’t grab it because is there, is the relevant entry a monitored show/episode? Does it meet the quality profile requested?

Hi, the idea is just implementing a simple RSS feed downloader. The issue is the torrent client I am using for my NAS does not have an RSS feed option - it’s Transmission - so I am unable to download torrents just by clicking on the bookmark link.

For example, I search my torrent site, I like an ISO image of LogicPro, I press the bookmark link and the RSS would send the torrent file to my torrent down loader. I used to use uTorrent’s RSS features for this purpose and was wondering if I could do something similar with Sonarr.

I guess, would it be possible to set up a feed that bypasses all filter settings and just sends the torrent directly to client downloader?

So you want to use sonarr to process other non-tv stuff? If that’s correct then it won’t work sonarr is designed for TV shows only.

BTW they are chrome and Firefox extensions that let you send links to transmission/deluge maybe that suits you better?

That’s exactly it - so I guess the answer is no… that’s OK, was more of a long shot.

Would you point me towards those plugins?

Thank you so much for your reply and help.

OK - as a follow up and a final post in this thread. To anyone who is interested…great news!

I installed a plugin called .torrent to transmission and it works perfectly. There is also another one called Remote Torrent Adder that works perfectly.

Download the plugin, set it up by pointing it to the IP of the machine running your torrent downloader, as well as the port specified, username and password.

I tested out downloading the entire season 2 of daredevil using this method and was very pleasantly surprised when Sonarr saw the files and added them to the Activity queue. AWESOME!

Now, patiently waiting .rar support and Sonarr will be the set it and forget it plugin ive been waiting for forever!!!
