I got all fancy and hacked together a tinydb backend for transmission-daemon to automate pulling from an rss feed. Was using a simple text file at first (to avoid duplicates) but without proper internet service I needed a way to cache the shows until I could eventually download them.
Now I just need to figure out an efficient way to download from them from my Hungarian vps since the cellphone internets are slowwww...
Mostly I wanted to learn about databases and I was bored one day so...
I kind of like transmission, had it doing its thing on my low-power NAS for a couple years with zero problems. The thing with duplicates was the rss feed sending ~7 days of shows and needing a way for my python script to tell if it had already seen an item or not so I was just dumping them into a log file and searching through it on the next run -- crazy inefficient but it did the job.
