[Torrentwatch] config usage questions

[diegolaz]

Ok, I installed from the NMT CSI 1.6.3 together with transmission 1.51

Here is a sample of what I'm trying to do:
Create a new favorite with:

Name: Smallville
Filter: Smallville.S08E1*
Not: S08E10|S08E11|S08E12|S08E13 (I only want from episode 14 or higher)
Episodes: --> empty because I don't know how to use it
Quality: HDTV

but nothing happens....Is there a way to "force search"?

Thanks!

after initial install of torrentwatch and transmission, do I need to add feeds or does it have some by default? May that be the problem?

During the setup of torrentwatch you get the choice to add a tvrss feed, but this doesn't seem to work. So you have to add it manually in the config at the top. And then add a feed, check this site out http://www.rsstorrents.com/.

This below is the link to torrentwatch web interface, on the googlecode site the link is wrong.
http://PCH IP ADRES HERE:8883/torrentwatch/index.html

Also the link tot the transmission web interface (at the top-right) is wrong. This link should be http://PCH IP ADRES HERE:9091/transmission/web/ but in the torrentwatch interface its something like this http://PCH IP ADRES HERE:9091/web/trasmission/ which is wrong.

Anyway good luck, I have it running but it freezes up for me with a couple of big downloads.

great thanks. I'll try that today when I get home. I selected on initial wizard setup but it didn't seem to work.
thanks again

[Feeds]

If under [Feeds] I add the lines
http://www.rsstorrents.com/.
or
http://www.rsstorrents.com/

I get a php unrecognized error on the Torrentwatch page

You config file doesn't appear to have any feeds configured.

To manually add a feed click the configuration button in torrentwatch, then click the feeds button at the bottom of that window. It should open a window that has a box where you can paste in an rss feed address paste the following into it and click add

Code:

http://tvrss.net/feeds/eztv

If you want to add a feed directly into the config file use

Code:

0[] = Link => tvbinz.net/rss.php
0[] = Type => RSS
0[] = Name => TVBINZ.NET | RSS Feed

if you are directly adding multiple feeds, make sure the first number changes(0, then 1, then 2, etc).
As to rsstorrents.com, i must be daft but i couldn't find the rss feeds that point to their own content, only their feeds catalog which points to other sites. Of the two sites they list for tv show feeds neither will work with torrentwatch because the feeds dont contain any links to torrents, just details pages.

The episodes filter is kinda wack, it uses raw regexp with the information first converted to SSxEE format. There is a replacement episode filter in the pipeline

for now, i would suggest
Filter: Smallville
Episodes: 8x(1[4-9]|[2-9][0-9])
Quality: hdtv

That should mean season 8, episodes 14-19 or 20-99
