Hello people.
Just a few weeks ago I bought a new NAS (NetGear ReadyNAS) for about $300
The NAS supports 2x 3.5" Drives and comes preEquipped with a 1x 1TB drive.
So what did I do with this.
I started by installing some of the WebApps that are already created for the ReadyNas
Among these are
MySQL
PHPMyAdmin
Transmission BT Client
CouchPotato
QBitTorrent Client
Once this was done, I created a folder called "/data/Downloaded" on my NAS.
Then it was time to start the configuration
I started with checking the Controller port on Transmission
I then went into CouchPotato and did the following config
-Set up PirateBay as a torrent Source
-Set up Renamer to look for movies in "/data/Downloaded/" and place renamed movies in "/data/Movies/" (precreated for Shares)
-Set up Renamer to use the name standard <Movie Title> (<Year>) and download metadata for XBMC from IMDB
-Set up that Wanted List will autopopulate with movies over rating 7 from RottenTomato with created year above 2013
-Set up that movies added to watchqueue from GoodFilms will be added to wanted list and mark them for automatic Download
This created a good basis for movies for easy download since CouchPotato check all torrent sources every hour for releases based on my priority list
Now it was time for the tricky part
I started by setting qBitTorrent to look for torrent files in "/data/torrent/Games/" and all files found here should be added int he client and downloaded to "/data/Games/" (this is so that I can manually save torrent files for games here from whatever torrent source I dessire from any computer in the home.
Next became the tricky part.
I enabled the SSH access to the NAs, and since it runs Debian this was rather easy.
Connecting to the console though the SSH interface and set up "Deluge" another torrent client
Once this was done I installed a software called "FlexGet"
FlexGet can parse RSS data and download the attached file links based on pfiltering.
hough Filtering was not needed for this
I extracted my RSS feed from TV torrents for all series I have marked with "Download" tag that are less then 14 days old (this is to make sure I don't miss anything during downtimes). and set the FlexGet to recheck every 15 mins.
Created a download config for this RSS to download all the torrent files to "/data/Torrents/Series/" and set the deluge client to fetch from this folder and start downloading.
Now I needed to use the MySQL database.
So I created an advanced config file for XBMC that has MySQL as the database for all information.
This crreates a database that holds what files I've watched and how far I've watched unfinished shows. and it shares this information with all connected XBMC clients, so if I watch half an episode on my PC, I can then go to bed and just hit play on my tab and it will continue from where I paused on the PC.
In short
The NAS will do the following
-Automatically download any movies I have marked in queue at goodfilms.
-Add any potentially good movie as wanted and start looking for torrents that fits my quality requirements, for 1 click download later
-Automatically download all series marked with tag "download" from TV torrents with a maximum of 15 minutes from release (great for private trackers when you need ratio)
-Allow me to manually save a game torrent file to a folder and have the NAS download it and keep seeding as long as I keep the file
-Servce as a central hub for all my movies and series watched though XBMC on any device
So yea, 4 days of configuration for a full time lazyness lifestyle
