Torrents - Ready for Testing

MauriceW · November 2, 2014, 5:08pm

Something odd is going on with my setup. It doesn’t seem to find Kickass torrents automatically anymore. At first I thought it was because of the trusted releases only setting. After turning that off it worked again for a few days, but now nothing is being grabbed anymore.

The weird thing is that if I do a manual search, I can see a release is found for the wanted episode. If I then cancel the manual search and do an automatic search, the episode starts to download.

The question is, why aren’t the episodes being found automatically anymore?

We’ll need debug log files to understand why its not grabbing from the RSS feed, of course wanted episodes will need to be on the RSS feed for them to be processed. Since search works its not sufficient to see debug logs for the search.

Thanks, I’ve enabled debug logging and will collect them next time I run into the issue.

What’s your rss interval?
I suspect you’re missing releases because sonarr fetches 1 page of the rss, which for kat is only 25 items. With verifiedOnly off, 1 page probably isn’t enough, I might have to change that.

MauriceW · November 3, 2014, 6:11pm

I set my rss interval to 60 minutes, because I didn’t want to generate too many requests.

But if only 25 items are being fetched, that may be too long. I’ll set it to 30 and see what happens.

Also, maybe it would be a good idea to make the rss interval a variable of each indexer instead of a general setting?

Taloth · November 3, 2014, 6:59pm

No that’s not possible from a design perspective. We need to fetch from all indexers simultaneously so we can properly prioritize results.

Taloth any idea when we can expect torrents build to be merged into dev?

dimtar · November 5, 2014, 1:10am

By no means a priority but could I put forward the idea to match the feature SickRage has for dealing with .!sync files in the watch folder. Here is a screenshot:

Its for people using Bittorent Sync, its to make sure the sync is complete before working on the files. Mainly important for season folders (where the download of the season is half done and the post process happens and then removes the folder, this removal of the folder goes up the line and the folder at the source is deleted meaning episodes are missed)

@dimtar I would appreciate it if you used the search function, thank you. Bittorrent sync support

@tcviper Definitely not this week, the other devs are currently reviewing the changes and I’m out of the country for a week.

tcviper · November 5, 2014, 9:43am

Ok cool, thx for all your hard work!

dimtar · November 5, 2014, 12:25pm

Sorry, I obviously didn’t see that. Thank you though.

I am having an issue adding transmission. When I use a wrong username I get a auth error. But when its all corrent I get this Unknown exception: Input string was not in the correct format and it wont save.

Ubuntu 14.04

I tried saving it unenabled an it saved.

Testing isn’t executed when its disabled, so that makes sense.

It looks like the version coming back from Transmission is causing issues, which version are you running?

Also, you should be running mono with the --debug switch so errors have line numbers (updated the autostart page to reflect this), you should change that for next time.

japayton · November 7, 2014, 6:13pm

I am running 2.84+

I will restart with debug and try again

Result: Error looks the same still cant add transmission

FYI, setting the rss interval to 30 minutes seems to have solved my issue of missed releases using the KA indexer.

I used the debug wrong. never used mono. after correcting that I get this change:

  at NzbDrone.Core.Download.Clients.Transmission.Transmission.TestConnection () [0x00000] in m:\BuildAgent\work\328d72309b633a8\src\NzbDrone.Core\Download\Clients\Transmission\Transmission.cs:187

japayton · November 7, 2014, 8:18pm

I just realized I am running a nightly build of transmission. Maybe thats why its not working. What transmission is reporting is 2.84+ ()

markus101 · November 7, 2014, 9:43pm

Ahh that would break it, I added some debug logging and pushed a new build, but if thats whats getting returned we’ll need to handle it.

I moved 6 posts to a new topic: After restart Sonarr is empty

I am having some difficulties setting up torrent blackhole. First I tried setting it up with CDH on, When the torrent finishes, it is moved out of the blackhole watched folder and is no longer available for seeding, which is my problem. I had use links instead of copy switched on. Then I tried turning CDH off and the episodes don’t get imported. How can I have nzbdrone import the episodes and leave them available to seed? I also have drone factory folder off. Thanks for your help.

Edit: I tried turning drone factory folder on and pointing it to the same folder as the torrent blackhole watched folder. However same issue, the files are moved when imported and do not seed after import.

Edit 2: No matter what I tried, the episodes weren’t preserved for seeding purposes using torrent blackhole. As a result I just had to give up on blackhole for now and go back to transmission. The reason I was trying torrent blackhole was so I could give synology download station a try, but I’m giving up on that until it is officially supported.
