Transmission

If you are using Transmission, perform the following steps to configure postprocessing for "TorrentToMedia":

1. Rename the autoProcessMedia.cfg.sample to autoProcessMedia.cfg and edit the parameters:

   i. [Torrent} uselink = 1 to allow hard-linking of files quicker and less harddisk used, if download and final location are on the same hard-disk set uselink = 0 to use normal copy options. Any movement across hard disks / network MUST use "0"

   ii. [Torrent] extractiontool (Windows Only...you will need to install 7-zip)

    C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe'
   

   iii. [Torrent] categories: all categories/labels/sub-directories used by your downloader.

    music,music_videos,pictures,software
   

   iv. [Torrent] compressedExtentions: all extensions you want to be identified and extracted

    .zip,.rar,.7z,.gz,.bz,.tar,.arj
   

   v. [Torrent] mediaExtentions: all extensions you want to be identified as videos and processed.

    .mkv,.avi,.divx,.xvid,.mov,.wmv,.mp4,.mpg,.mpeg,.vob,.iso
   

   vi. [Torrent] metaExtentions: all other extensions you want to be processed. other extensions will be ignored.

    .nfo,.sub,.srt,.jpg,.gif
   

   vii. [CouchPotato] & [SickBeard] category: you must set the category that is passed from these applications This is the last folder name in the directory path passed as "directory for completed downloads." If using "blackhole-subdirectory", this is the last folder name used in the blackhole.

    e.g. tv or movies
   

   viii.[CouchPotato] & [SickBeard] outputDirectory: you must set the absoluet path to extract videos to. this destination, for CouchPotato, must match the CouchPotato Renamer's, "from" directory.

    /usr/local/extracted/movies
    /usr/local/extracted/tv
   

   ix. [CouchPotato] & [SickBeard]: Configure the remaining settings as describes in nzbToCouchPotato and nzbToSickBeard above.

2. In Transmission add the TorrentToMedia.py script to run on downlaod complete.

   i. On some systems go to Preferences->Transfers->Management Select the script to run on download complete.

    /usr/local/transmission/nzbToMedia/TorrentToMedia.py
   

   ii. On other systems you will need to edit settings.json (usually /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json). Edit while the daemon is not running.

    	"script-torrent-done-enabled": true, 
    	"script-torrent-done-filename": "/usr/local/transmission/nzbToMedia/TorrentToMedia.py",
   

3. In Transmission set the following directories (settings.json, or interface).

   i. Download Directory = The directory where downloaded files stay while seeding. This is NOT the "FROM" directory in CouchPotato renamer.

    "download-dir": "/usr/local/Download",
   

   ii. Watch Direcetory = The balckhole directory used by CouchPotato and/or SickBeard

    	"watch-dir": "/usr/local/blackhole',
    	"watch-dir-enabled": true,
   

4. Output from TorrentToMedia will be logged where the scripts reside, in a file called "postprocess.log"
