Automatic addon can't find file or directory

[babaraccas]

I've been trying everything I can think of to get Automatic to work but I just can't figure it out. I've installed the addon, disabled it in frontview and launched it through SSH with

Code: Select all

automatic -v 3 -l /addons-config/automatic.log -c /etc/automatic.conf

Here's my complete automatic.conf. I removed all of the excess to try to simplify and changed my cookie info:

Code: Select all

         cookies => "uid=12345;pass=1212121212121212121212121212121"

       }

interval = 10
use-transmission = no
torrent-folder = "/USB/WD_1TB/torrents/sources/testNHL/"
statefile = "/addons-config/automatic.state"

# Filters
filter = {
   pattern => "NHL.*720"
   folder => "/WD_1TB/torrents/NHL/"
}

filter = {
   pattern => "NHL.*HDTV"
   folder => "/WD_1TB/torrents/NHL/"
}

Here's a snipet of the log where I think the error is occuring. "Error opening file for writing: No such file or directory" keeps popping up. It's unclear to me whether that means it can't get the file from the torrent site, or whether it can't create the file on the NAS. The folder exists that I want to download the torrent file to (/USB/WD_1TB/torrents/sources/testNHL/) and I gave it 777 permissions:

Code: Select all

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've got the watch-directory working perfectly in Transmission so getting this to work would be killer.

To me this looks like Automatic can't write to the directory on the USB drive you gave it as a target. How are the permissions on the target folders you specified, who's the owner?

Thanks for the reply. I did some more troubleshooting and tested the exact same settings with a non passworded site (ezrss) and automatic saved the torrent files perfectly. It seems to be something with the cookies.

Also, the permissions on that directory are 777. The owner is my personal user account on the NAS

I seem to be having the same problem. After trying a number of things from about five different posts I still can't get Automatic to load my files to the correct folder. Transmission will down load my files to "/c/media/BitTorrent" but not the folder specified by Automatic.

Like babaraccas I turned Automatic off in FrontView and launched it through SSH with:

Code: Select all

automatic -v 3 -l /c/addons-config/auto.log -c /etc/automatic.conf

Here is my automatic.conf file.

Code: Select all

transmission-version = "1.3"
feed = { url => "http://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?show_name=The+Big+Bang+Theory&date=2011-03-10&season=4&episode=18&mode=rss"
       }
interval = 1000
use-transmission = no
start-torrents = yes
torrent-folder = "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/"
statefile = "/c/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/torrents/automatic.state"
filter = { pattern => "The.Big.Bang.Theory.*"
           folder => "/c/media/TV_Shows/"
         }


Finally the auto.log file:

Why?
Thanks for your help.

Hey JosephAE,

Doesn't seem like there's much support around here for Automatic. I went ahead and followed this tutorial and installed Flexget. I'm really satisfied with that solution.
