Entware transmission auto unrar torrent

[vprasinos]

I'm trying to setup a script to settings.json to auto unrar a torrent if there is a rar file inside (or .rar, .r00, .r01 etc)

I'm trying to avoid torrentexpander.sh as it creates a lot of unnecessary folders, all I want is to unrar a single file (as it usually is contained inside a tv series torrent) without touching any other files within the rar (.nfos etc).

I've installed unrar in entware using:
#opkg install unrar

So far I've managed to unrar from ssh prompt using the command:
#unrar e torrentfile path/to/extraction/

If I try to implement this in settings.json:
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/opt/bin/unrar e '$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/*.rar' '/tmp/mnt/SamsungHD/torrents/'",

However nothing happens after a rared torrent is downloaded. Am I using this the wrong way? Is there a typo?

Note: I get confirmation through the log that the script is actually executed, but I get no rar file to the specified folder.

You should create a script in /jffs/scripts/torrent-unrar.sh with your unrar command:

#!/bin/sh
/opt/bin/unrar e '$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/*.rar' '/tmp/mnt/SamsungHD/torrents/'

logger -t "$0" "Unrar \""$TR_TORRENT_NAME\""", completed...

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/torrent-unrar.sh

In settings.json:

"script-torrent-done-enabled": true, 
"script-torrent-done-filename": /jffs/scripts/torrent-unrar.sh

Now download a torrent and see if is extracted, look in syslog for a line with "Unrar "" completed...

Is this line supposed to be
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/jffs/scripts/torrent-unrar.sh",

Some how didn't work for me syslog report unrar completed but can't locate file?

Hi and Happy New Year!

Please, what should be the solution for having 2 scripts simultaneous at the script-torrent-done-filename?
I want to have at the same time a script for sending email when a torrent in finished and also another one to unrar.

Thank you!

Hi,

I think I discovered why. Because you have to add double quotation mark. And you have two scenarios: torrent is a rar file or torrent is couple of rar files. So you have two unrar like this:

/opt/bin/unrar e "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/*.rar" '/tmp/mnt/torrent/torrent-unrar'
logger -t "$0" "Unrar \""$TR_TORRENT_NAME\""", completed...

/opt/bin/unrar e "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" '/tmp/mnt/torrent/torrent-unrar'
logger -t "$0" "Unrar \""$TR_TORRENT_NAME\""", completed...

In order to work you have to avoid spaces in the destination or to use "" here also.
Hope it helps.
