boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 there is no guide for the rss, but I guess it might be like this =S?0?2E?X?16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 there is a mini-guide here:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=36682#p36682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 but that one doesn't say if it should be: ? or 0? or ?0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 because "?" is well known definiiton of - "any single character", so if you want ALL of:S02E16s02 e16S2 E162162x16you might want to put: S02E16|s02 e16|S2 E16|216|2x16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 But '?' can't be nothing right? to bad, it would be nice if it was like in luaI think it should be like the program language lua...:S?0?2E?X?16 ...which works for these:S02E16S2E1602x162x16216What it means in lua, is that the letter or sign before '?' can appear 1 time or 0 times.the thing with '?' means any single letter/sign, you can use '*' instead. Sure it means more than 1 sign/letter, but why have two wildcard that means 'any letter/sign'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sure it means more than 1 sign/letter, but why have two wildcard that means 'any letter/sign'?Because... ?=any single char , * = any char(s) or none. and I should have written only :*2*16*which also works for the above...and the series name may be in front: *name*2*16*I'm sure there are lot's of other conventions, this one is used by M$...

boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 '?' is only faster '*' thats all + it can't be "nothing", the way lua does it is better,A suggestion, which I think is more practical:$ = a single char (can be another sign)? = the char before it can appear 1 time or 0 times.* = any char(s) or none.

Firon Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 µTorrent parses all of these formats, look at the releases tab. You only need to use the 1x12 format if µT parsed it correctly, which it should. You don't specify the episode in the filter, you use the episode box.

boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well, that FAQ needs to be improved.Even if there is a episodebox, the rest of the name needs wildcard and I really like my syggestion in #8 post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I was serious here .... there really is a good mini-guide in chat:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=36682#p36682with some good RSS feeds-links as well.

boo Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 made a small attempt to improve the FAQ entry, but because I don't know how it should be shaped in the FAQ, I haven't fixed the lenght of each line. Made most changes is the end, but I also made a few changes in the beginning of the FAQ entry:Yes, as of 1.3.1 beta build 374 it does support RSS. It supports links in <guid>, <link>, and <enclosure url>. It will NOT work for feeds that link to HTML pages instead of the torrent! µTorrent's RSS also supports basic HTTP authentication and cookies.To use HTTP authentication, simply use this format for the feed URL:http://username:password@sometorrentsite.com/rss.phpTo use feeds that require cookies, you must find the cookie for the site, and grab UID and pass from it. IE users will find their cookies in %UserProfile%\Cookies; Firefox users will find their cookies in Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> View Cookies; Opera users will find their cookies in Tools -> Advanced -> Cookies, but they must scroll down manually, find doesn't work; users of other browsers will have to read the documentation to find it.Once you have the appropriate information, use this format for the feed URL: http://sometorrentsite.com/rss.php:COOKIE:uid=1234;pass=asdjh12378912y3lkjHowever, some sites do not use uid and pass as the variables, or use additional ones, so you MUST use the exact variable name and the extra variables they specify! For example, on a certain site, it uses id, password, and secure as the cookie variables you must use.To automatically download specific torrents from a feed, you can use Favorites to specify your own filters to grab torrents. It does NOT support regular expressions. The allowed wildcards are * ? and |. |, explaination =* any char(s) or none? any single char| used to specify a multiple matches in one filter. For example: H264*|xvid*|AC3 to auto-download all torrents that are either H264, XviD, or have AC3 audio.Episode number box is used to download only specific ep numbers and it does support ranges, for example of what you should type:1x121x12-14"Filter matches the original name instead of the decoded name" is so that you can match based off what the original name is in the feed, instead of µTorrent's parsed result.
