Autoload from RSS

[johnstar]

May be I am jump the gun a bit, since that the sw still in alpha. It would be very nice to have RSS autodownload like the MS-win version.

RSS functionality is in the server; it's just not in the web UI. You can issue requests for it via HTTP.

You can also move the rss.dat and settings.dat over from a windows/wine version. You'll need to tweak path settings in the webui afterwards but the feeds will work fine.

I'm also interested on this issue. Cloud you please clarify it?

RSS functionality is inside the daemon, but the current Linux webui interface has no functionality to submit RSS commands to it.

You can use various Linux utilities to submit HTTP GET commands to utserver to make it do what you want. For example, the ?action=rss-update command will add a new feed. In most cases the command is a simple one-liner that you could submit with Curl, but by default utserver will be configured to need token auth which means making a call to get a token and cookie, followed by a separate call including the token and cookie to submit the RSS feed.

Here is an example which lists all torrents and RSS feeds:

First the command to get the token (note that user/pass in in .netrc):

export token=$(curl -G -s -c ~/.utorrent/ucookie.txt -n http://192.168.0.4:8080/gui/token.html|sed 's/<[^<>]*>//g')

And the command to submit the list command:

curl -G -s -n -b ~/.utorrent/ucookie.txt -d token=$token -d list=1 http://192.168.0.4:8080/gui/

Just a quick and dirty example, but it should get you started. The API RSS commands are documented in the documentation you downloaded with utserver.

Or there is a Python CLI utility which may do what you need: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=85684

hi,

im currently on doze 7 and love having the RSS feed in uTorrent from EZTV as I never have to worry about checking the net for new episodes. I have ubuntu installed too but am reluctant to make the final change over and leave MS behind because of this feature. Is it now working? And is there now a version out that isn't through WINE?

It's been a couple of years since I made the return to the darkside...

You can just use your browser to update rss feeds. for example:

http://<host>:<port>/gui/?action=rss-update&download_dir=0&url=http://bit.ly/apQWW1&alias=Dexter&subscribe=1&enabled=1&update=1

* use a url shortner for your rss urls if they contain ampersands(&)

* you may need to disable token auth (see settings in web-ui)

* for all api calls see included documentation

But there is no auto feature so I don't have to do anything like before in windows? And uTorrent is now available in ubuntu or still under WINE?

Please add RSS functionality as soon as possible!

[johnstar]

direct access via the api is way too complicated for mere mortal like me. awaiting web-ui that will do the rSS. My understanding now is more of a web-ui issue rather than utorrent-server issue.

[Ultima]

Indeed. For my part, I've been working on integrating RSS into WebUI. It's been rather painful though, but it's getting there. And it'll get done if I can stop getting distracted by and annoyed at random things

[Rudde]

How often will utserver update the rss feeds?

[Ultima]

Depends on the feed's <ttl></ttl>, or if it doesn't exist, rss.update_interval.

[Znarkus]

I too would love this feature!

Anyone interested in WebUI+RSS can now toy with it. Do read the release notes before reporting issues though.

[Znarkus]

Thanks for your work Ultima!

Anyone using the rss? I find the torrents containing folder is stripped? Is there a way to fix this or is it by design?

I don't really want to set a label and move the torrent as i want it to match the original torrent.

[Transmission3000]

I'm using the RSS feeds with the new WebUI, and it's working pretty awesome, actually. I just copied over my rss.dat from my standard install of uTorrent, then I went in and fixed the paths on all my favorites/bookmarks.
