Part I: Get transmission installed

Add repository

DAEMON_ARGS="-b -t -a \"192.168.*.*\" -e /var/log/transmission/transmission.log -u user -v password -w /incoming"

• setup correct permissions for the download directory (/incoming)

Remote GUI

Part II: Configure flexget

See the previous post to see how to get it installed on CentOS.

Requirements

I had to manually update the version of transmissionrpc:

sudo easy_install-2.6 transmissionrpc

Configuration

As the feeds on tvtorrent are already limited to the series you select, it is OK, to just get everything in the feed. Flexget will take care of not downloading duplicates (different quality). By default it will prefer the better quality.

Add the following to ~/.flexget/config.yml

feeds:
  feed_name:
    rss: <Your rss feed here>
    download: ~/torrents
    all_series: yes
    transmission:
      host: 192.168.0.5
      port: 9091
      username: bon
      password: <password>

Testing

You can check your settings for syntax by running:

flexget -v --check

For a dry-run, run:

flexget -v --test

If everything works OK, just put it in a cron-job to run every now and then.
