Details Name: Rtorrent with ruTorrent rTorrent: https://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/ ruTorrent: https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent Updated: 3rd of August 2017 # Description rTorrent is a powerful and lightweight command line BitTorrent client. ruTorrent is NOT a client, it is only an rTorrent frontend (WebUI). # Version management Static versions, selectable during app installation. New versions will usually be added within a month after the release. # Screenshots # Tips and tricks ## Using rTorrent directly rTorrent is running in a tmux session. Just use tmux attach to connect to it. ## Disable Filebot Edit ~/.config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc by using nano or vim or download it via FTP and upload it back. You can simply comment out the last line by adding an extra # character. The line should read 
system.method.set_key=event.download.finished,filebot_amc,"execute={/home/hd7/mackoz/.config/rtorrent/filebot,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_name=,$d.get_custom1=}"
 Make that 
#system.method.set_key=event.download.finished,filebot_amc,"execute={/home/hd7/mackoz/.config/rtorrent/filebot,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_name=,$d.get_custom1=}"
 Instead, please realize that this does stop your content from showing up in Plex. ## Changing password for ruTorrent Login to your box using SSH or using terminal on VNC and type htpasswd -b $HOME/www/rutorrent/.htpasswd USERNAME PASSWORD of course replacing the USERNAME and PASSWORD with the correct values. ## Installing additional ruTorrent plugins warning Plugins can slow down ruTorrent so keep in mind that adding more plugins can change your user experience. After you have found the plugin you want to install, unpack it to ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ directory. After it is installed, reload the page for the plugin to be initiated. Note Check if the plugin has external package dependencies. If you get an error saying "Cannot access XXX" on ruTorrent page reload, that usually means that a package needs to be installed. At that point raise a ticket with full error so we can resolve the problem ## RSS plugin refresh time By default, ruTorrent RSS checks for new feeds every 30 minutes. To change that, navigate to the ruTorrent settings button(gear icon, next to question mark). Find the feed option and change that to desired update interval. Note check with your trackers what the acceptable update interval is, some trackers will ban you if an RSS feed is updated too often! ## Setting up Transdroid Most details for Transdroid are very straight forward. Just fill in the server name and your ruTorrent username and password. | Setting | Value | ------------- |-------------| |IP or Domain |username.servername.bysh.me | |Servertype | rTorrent | | Username | Your username | |Password| Your rTorrent password | Then go to "Advanced settings" and set your "SCGI mount point" to /rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php ## Using Whitelisting You can enable whitelisting support by changing your ~/.config/rtorrent/filebot to the following: 

#!/bin/bash
 
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
 
TORRENT_PATH=$1
TORRENT_NAME=$2
TORRENT_LABEL=$3
 
# Subtitle language
SUBLANG=en
SKIP_EXTRACT=n
MUSIC=y
 
if [[ $TORRENT_LABEL == "TV" ]] || [[ $TORRENT_LABEL == "Movies" ]]
then
 filebot -script /opt/filebot/amc.groovy --def music=$MUSIC --def skipExtract=$SKIP_EXTRACT -non-strict --encoding utf8 --def ut_kind=multi --log all --log-file amc.log --def "ut_dir=$TORRENT_PATH" "ut_title=$TORRENT_NAME" --output "$HOME/media" --action symlink --conflict override --def subtitles=$SUBLANG --def artwork=false --def extractfolder="$HOME/torrents/extracted" &
else
 exit
fi
 Feel free to edit TV and Movies to other labels. ## Enabling file deletion in RuTorrent webgui Add the following line to the config file at ~/.config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc, then restart app. method.set_key = event.download.erased,delete_erased,"execute=rm,-rf,--,$d.base_path=" # Troubleshooting ERROR: Bad response from server: (500 [error,list]) Link to XMLRPC failed.
