# derailleur
|
||
|
|
A set of Python 3 scripts and libraries for interacting with Transmission,
|
||
|
|
derailleur automates all the little tasks involved in keeping Transmission
|
||
|
|
humming.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Derailleur consists of four tools:
|
||
|
|
* **derailleur-add**: manually add magnet links/torrent files
|
||
|
|
* **derailleur-feed**: add links by way of an rss feed
|
||
|
|
* **derailleur-manager**: manage seeds and remove (and delete) old downloads
|
||
|
|
* **derailleur-postproc**: filter and process downloads after completion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All use a single library (derailleur) to interact with the Transmission daemon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
* All-in-one solution: Gets feeds, removes old torrents, cleans up and
|
||
|
|
organizes the content once it's downloaded.
|
||
|
|
* Can replace several more complex solutions like flexget and media management
|
||
|
|
tools
|
||
|
|
* Works well with Firefox (add), cron (feed, manager) and Transmission's
|
||
|
|
`script-torrent-done` option (postproc).
|
||
|
|
* All elements can maintain an individual log for easy oversight of actions
|
||
|
|
* Simple and comprehensible ini-like configuration
|
||
|
|
* Postproc recognises music, tv and film and can work with custom,
|
||
|
|
user-defined download types
|
||
|
|
* Organizes content in a manner compatible with with media management tools
|
||
|
|
and HTPC software so that it is automatically recognized.
|
||
|
|
* Only keeps the files worth having. No more random .urls and .infos littering
|
||
|
|
up your media folders.
