A python script designed to process downloaded Transmission torrents.

py-expander

A python script designed to post-process Transmission torrents.

The script extracts files recursively (if extract is necessary) and the moves the files to pre-configured directories based on their type. If no RARs are present in the download - the script will copy the files.

The script relies on the 'guessit' package to detect movies/tv downloads.

Original torrent files are conserved for upload.

The script can also fetch subtitles in chosen languages (change in the config file),
and upload the videos to an Amazon cloud storage account.

All original torrent names are kept the original names log file.

Currently only 7-Zip is supported. (Make sure to use the version with the rar plugin, or compile from source with 'make all')

Usage

Install the script as follows:

$ python setup.py develop

Edit the configuration with your directories

$ vim config.py

That's it.

The script can be used from the command line:

$ pyexpand /download/The.Wire.S01E01.HDTV

For transmission:

$ vim /var/lib/transmission/settings.json
..
 "script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
 "script-torrent-done-filename": "pyexpand",
..

Or for uTorrent:

Options -> Advanced -> Run Program
When download is finished, run (Change paths accordingly): 
'C:\Python35\pythonw.exe D:\Projects\py-expander\src\pyexpander\torrent_handler.py "%D" "%F"'

Important: Be sure to use different directories for new downloads and completed downloads, or else pyexpander won't work.

• Make sure that the transmission user can run pyexpand. If not:

  $ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pyexpand /usr/bin/pyexpand

py-expander's Issues

Symlink instead of copy?

Hello!

Seems to be a great script.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to symlink instead of copying the files to new location? That way would save some hard drive space.

Do you rename the content with Sickbeard/Couchpotato when moved?

Long shot - issue with executing script. Fails to extract and move
