updated dns-323 bt download management scripts

Published November 4th, 2008 in dns-323, hacks, unix

I decided to modify my dns-323 scripts to keep my media organized.

Instead of monitoring /incoming for torrents, these scripts monitor /media/movies, /media/mp3 and /media/tv. when .torrent files are detected, they download to the appropriate /media subdirectory. transmission stops when the files are downloaded, and any rars are unpacked.

edit 4-dec-08: I think there’s a bug with the unpacker script on rar files with spaces in them. I don’t have time to fix it, so if you have issues you can just rename your rar files accordingly to weed out the spaces.

If you want to use these scripts, make sure you have created the following directories:

/mnt/HD_a2/logs
/mnt/HD_a2/media
/mnt/HD_a2/media/movies
/mnt/HD_a2/media/mp3
/mnt/HD_a2/media/tv

Also note the locations the actual scripts reside in:

torrentwatchdog.sh and unpacker.sh reside in/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/var/scripts
editcron.sh resides in /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start/

You can download these new scripts here.

sorry that the blockquote tags in my blog strip out the spacing … and you may have issues with doublequotes if you are copying and pasting from the blog, so keep an eye on that …

Hello,

Thanks for this great Howto, i did everything exactly as you describe with some little changes, and it’s working great!!! Thanks alot.

I’d like the downloaded files to be named as the torrent files, any ideas how to make it?
2 G_E_M_S Nov 16th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

or even better to start the download into a folder with the name of the torrent file.

for example, the torrent file is matrix. the download will start into the folder /media/movies/matrix
3 dave Nov 16th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

Thanks for the scripts, I’ve been using it for a while now. Would it be possible to alter the end of the script for checking if the torrent is done to stop it when the seeding is at 1.0 instead for when the download part is done? I tried doing this myself but my coding skills just where not enough. Thanks for publicizing this for us!

Hi,
Must say, fantastic scripts!
I have a problem though…. …It adds the torrent to download, but removes it at the exact same second from queue.. ..it looks like:
[Mon Nov 17 00:24:10 GMT 2008] /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/Movies/thenameofthe.torrent added to queue.
[Mon Nov 17 00:24:10 GMT 2008] /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/Movies/thenameofthe.torrent deleted.
[Mon Nov 17 00:24:11 GMT 2008] /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/Movies/thenameofthe2.torrent added to queue.
[Mon Nov 17 00:24:11 GMT 2008] /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/Movies/thenameofthe2.torrent deleted.

thats what the torrentwd.log says.

What have I done wrong, my torrentwatcher script looks as follows:

TORRENTDIRS=”/mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/TV-series /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents/Torrent-url/Movies”
LOG=/mnt/HD_a2/logs/torrentwd.log

for FILE in $DIR/*.torrent; do

# set download dir to current working dir
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -w $DIR

# pick out .torrent files and queue them up
if [ “$FILE” != “$DIR/*.torrent” ]; then
echo [`date`] “$FILE” added to queue. >> $LOG
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -a “$FILE”
rm “$FILE”
echo [`date`] “$FILE” deleted. >> $LOG

fi
done

Hi,

I can’t edit the files inside Windows after they have been downloaded. I am seeing the group:501 and user:nobody as the owner (I’m not sure this is supposed to be like that but…). Is it possible to add something to the script that would change the owner to root.root?
6 Pete Jan 21st, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Never mind. I went into the Transmission.sh file and changed the user and group there….
7 Stekam Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:40 am

Thanks for this nice scripts…

However i would need some additional features:

- Move completed downloaded files to another directory …

Could you give me the technical link to TRANSMISSION so that i can look by myself too…

Thanks…
8 Rongchang You Mar 25th, 2009 at 3:41 am

Thanks a lot for the script. But it does not work in my DNS 323. I copy three files to the folder and create media folders. Nothing happend. When I examed the logs, there is only one unpack.log

wc: No such file or directory
[: 1: unknown operand
9 zaphod99 Apr 13th, 2009 at 12:41 am

@Rongchang You

I had the same errors from unpacker.sh as you; had to use the full path (/ffp/bin/wc) to “wc” to resolve.

Cheers…

PROBLEM:
I put my torrents inside /media/, /media/movies/, /media/tv/, /media/mp3/ but transmission did not pickup any of them.

I tried uploading a torrent via transmission webgui itself and I checked the torrent was saved in /.transmission-daemon/torrents/ folder.

How to make transmission detect torrents from the media folders??

PLEASE HELP.

Just an update, I tried starting torrentwatchdog.sh and unpacker.sh manually
“/ffp/var/scripts/torrentwatchdog.sh start
/ffp/var/scripts/unpacker.sh start”

But both return almost the same error. PLEASE HELP.

@Aizal: dude. this is the new transmission daemon complaining about authorization. you need to follow the steps here to update the settings accordingly. apologies i haven’t updated my scripts accordingly, but i use the older version of transmission.
13 Aizal May 6th, 2009 at 1:46 am

Hey horto,

Thanks for replying. I just amazed that you replied at almost instantly after I sent an email to you.
Anyway, I downgrade my transmission and try running torrentwatchdog manually.
Here what I got:
root@dlink-0A78F3:/mnt/HD_a4/packages# /ffp/var/scripts/torrentwatchdog.sh start
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”

So, Since the error seems similar to my initial error, I re-upgrade transmission to the latest version.
Could you help?
14 Aizal May 6th, 2009 at 3:37 am

Oh, forgot to ask which version of Transmission you are currently using and the auto downloader working on it?
I think if nothing works then I might as well downgrade my transmission version.
Just need this function working.

Thanks.
15 admin May 6th, 2009 at 7:11 am

@Aizal, clearly this:

transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”
transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”

is a transmission error. (it’s being spewed by transmission-remote).

it’s because with the newer versions of transmission, you must specify a user and password to connect.

what this means is that with the torrentwatchdog script, you have to update the parameters being passed to transmission, like this:

TRANSMISSION_REMOTE=’/ffp/bin/transmission-remote -n user:passwd’

Replace user:passwd with your username and password as you set up in transmission.

This all only applies to transmission 1.40 and higher. I’m using transmission 1.34. So this is all based on what other people have told me
16 Aizal May 6th, 2009 at 10:08 am

By username and password, do you mean the one in settings.json? What if I did not set any?
So I add username and password and still get the error.
TORRENTDIRS=”/mnt/HD_a2/media/movies /mnt/HD_a2/media/tv /mnt/HD_a2/media/mp3″
LOG=/mnt/HD_a2/logs/torrentwd.log
TRANSMISSION_REMOTE=’/ffp/bin/transmission-remote -n nyunyu:742258′ –> is it ” or ‘ ?

I tried this command and got the same error.
root@dlink-0A78F3:/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/var/scripts# /ffp/bin/transmission-remote -l
[22:54:41.871] JSON parser failed at line 1, column 1: “401: Unautho”
[22:54:41.875] transmission-remote: Unable to parse response “401: UnauthorizedUnauthorized User”

Can you give me the link to transmission v1.34?
17 Aizal May 6th, 2009 at 4:40 pm

I keep banging my head on the wall because of this error.
It turned out a simple fix solved the problem. I put the wrong password.

So, if you are using rpc authorization (username and password), then for every transmission-remote line, add -n username:passwd.

Now I got it working with Transmission 1.52.

BUT!

Whenever I put new torrents into the folder, it does not detect instantly.
It will only detect whenever I stop or start torrentwatchdog.sh. Any idea why?

The script deleted the torrent once it was queued, so I modify the script to move the torrent instead so in case there is something wrong, I can just copy the torrent again.

in torrentwatchdog.sh, I changed this part:
# pick out .torrent files and queue them up
if [ “$FILE” != “$DIR/*.torrent” ]; then
echo [`date`] “$FILE” added to queue. >> $LOG
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -a “$FILE”
rm “$FILE”
echo [`date`] “$FILE” deleted. >> $LOG
sleep 1
fi
done
done

to this:
# pick out .torrent files and queue them up
if [ “$FILE” != “$DIR/*.torrent” ]; then
echo [`date`] “$FILE” added to queue. >> $LOG
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -a “$FILE”
mv “$FILE -f $USED_TORRENTS/$FILE”
echo [`date`] “$FILE” moved to “$USED_TORRENTS”. >> $LOG
sleep 1
fi
done
done

Can you check my code so the file will actually moved?
(currently it does not moved)

Thanks.

Is there a way to delete a cron job completely on the DNS-323? I would like to manually run the torrentwatchdog script.

Thanks,
Matthew
19 jumperson Jul 7th, 2009 at 10:51 pm

Is there a way to change the ratio from 1 to something else? If I try and download something that has a lot of seeders and no leechers, the unpacker.sh script will never run. Any way to change the script to check the status of it for being done downloading instead?

Also, the editcron.sh script which has the timing of when to check, does that mean it will pull the NAS out of sleep mode every hour on the hour? And then again every 3 hours on the 30 minute mark? Is that what the below means? Or is it every hour on the hour and then every 3.5 hours?

/bin/echo “0 * * * * /ffp/var/scripts/torrentwatchdog.sh >> /mnt/HD_a2/logs/torrentwd.log 2>&1″ >> $CRONTXT

20 admin Jul 11th, 2009 at 10:21 am

@jumperson:

0 * * * * is every hour on the hour
30 3 * * * is every day at 3:30am

you can change the values to whatever you prefer. see http://www.scrounge.org/linux/cron.html
21 jumperson Jul 15th, 2009 at 1:35 am

Thanks for the reply Admin! Looking at the link you posted, I can’t seem to figure out a way to have something run every 3 hours. Is it possible to schedule something with the cron job for every 3 hours? Do you know what I should be putting for the format for that?

0 3 * * * is every day at 3am
3 * * * * is every 3 minutes past the hour…i think.

Any ideas?

Hello Stekam (Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:40 am) and all here. I also thought how to
“Move completed downloaded files to another directory …” (for examlpe Volume_1\BT\complete directory same with BitTorrent directory made by D-Link). Because of numbers of torrents I split downloading/ed torrents into the categories/dictionaries (#cart-cartoons, #music, #doc-documentary etc.)
I have …\Volume_1\BT\torrents_to_add\:
#cart\
#clip\
#cz&sk\
#dab\
#doc\
#dvd\
#hd\
#install\
#mp3\
#ser\
#tit\
#xxx\
and same structure in …\Volume_1\BT\complete\
#cart\
#clip\
#cz&sk\
#dab\
#doc\
#dvd\
#hd\
#install\
#mp3\
#ser\
#tit\
#xxx\
For adding and moveing compled download I use same torrentwatchdog.sh where I add “moving part”. I have just one problem and that is this script move files when I’m loged in. When it is runnig by cron schedule it just add new torrent for downloading stop completed but don’t move completed. I heve to log in time to time and run this script. One more feature. When I move downloaded file or directory I create simlink to prevent Transmission download same torrent one more time, after restarting download. So when i want to start seeding some torrent I can just enable seeding in Transmission GUI (of coure i have to disable scheduled stoping of seeding in this script).

@Brusko,
I like the approach you have for moving scripts, but I was hoping to do something a little differently.
WARNING: Linux Noob

I have my files for shows downloaded organized by show name. The results of the download are something like
“Kids Show S02E03.avi”
I’ll have “Parents show 1 S03E01.avi” “Dad Show S01E01.avi” etc.

Once the show is 100% complete, I’d like to move it to a particular directory, Like this

/ffp/bin/transmission-remote -l | grep Done | grep 100% | grep -v Ratio | /ffp/bin/cut -c 70-| while read i
do
ciel_ln=`find /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads -name “$i”`

If $i has ‘Kids’ in the name I want to move it to \TV\KidsShow folder.
If $i has ‘Parent’ in the name I want to move it to \TV\Parent folder.

I’ve been trying to get the right syntax for a substring, but just don’t have it.

Any help would be appreciated..
