How to use RSS Downloader Plugin in Seedbox

[BlackDz]

To utilize the RSS Downloader feature, follow these steps:

1. Click on the "RSS Downloader" button located in the top toolbar.

 

2. Input the URL of your feed and assign an alias to the feed (of your choice depending on the tracker as I have chosen Tleech in this case) which you can see below and will be displayed in the RSS section of the left sidebar.

 

3. Click "OK." If your feed contains a passkey in its URL and your tracker doesn't require a cookie, the RSS Downloader will connect to the feed and showcase the most recent items without downloading any .torrent files which can be seen below as marked in the square box.

4. Right-click on the feed alias in the left sidebar and choose "RSS Manager."

5. Configure at least one filter for the plugin by clicking the "Add" button. Provide a name for your filter (e.g., download everything in the feed) and use the following line in the Filter field:

/()/i.

6. Keep the Exclude field empty, choose the alias of the feed in the RSS dropdown, and leave the directory field empty. Ensure "Don't start the download automatically" is checked for testing purposes. Optionally, use the Label field to auto-label downloaded .torrents.

7. Click the "?" button to test your filter in real-time against the items in the feed. RSS Downloader will display the number of matches and highlight them. As above image shows 100 matches which shows that the configuration is good to go.

8. Once confirmed, press "OK." RSS Downloader will download .torrents in the feed, adding them as stopped to the queue. Verify the setup, return to RSS Manager, untick "Don't start the download automatically," and reload ruTorrent in your browser.

For advanced scenarios, such as downloading specific .torrents:

Download only .torrents with "Antiques" in the name use filter as shown below.

Download only .torrents with the words "My.Life," "Special.," or "Eclipse." in the name, input the filter as shown below and can be checked by clicking the ?

You can manually start the torrent as shown below or choose automatic downloading filer option of the RSS Manager. 

Additional observations:

• Adjust feed update intervals through Settings > Feeds instead of editing the conf.php file.

Important notes:

• Exercise caution with the plugin; improper filter setup may harm your ratio.
• Test your setup thoroughly before enabling auto-download to ensure filters work as intended.

thanks for the guide bro. Works like a charm!

One note is that on step 7 the filter should be without the full stop mark

Also, it would be nice if you could post a guide on the filter syntax, limiting torrent size or downloading only the freeleech torrents :3
