Hey everyone!
So I was able to successfully install flexget on my mbl 4TB 
. The only problem is I cant get cron to work correctly. Here is the guide that I followed:
How to Install FlexGet on My Book Live:
First we need to install ipkg, which allows us to install all kinds of packages specifically made for the MBL processor architecture.
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-mybooklive.sh
Use the following command to see a list of available packages:
/opt/bin/ipkg list
Note: In order not to keep typing /opt/bin we can use the following command:
export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH
Use the following command to see which packages are already installed:
ipkg list_installed
We need to install python 2.6, and on the MBL we have version 2.5, check this by
python -V
Install Python 2.6:
ipkg install python26
In order to use easy_install commands we also need:
ipkg install py26-setuptools
If we install FlexGet now we will incounter to errors:
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages (in --site-dirs) does not exist
We solve this by updating the path manualy in the following file (from python2.5 to 2.6)
nano /opt/lib/python2.6/distutils/distutils.cfg
Secondly it will say “error: No space left on device” This is because the tmp folder is only 50mb big. The best solution is just to make a new temp folder and use that one instead.
mkdir /tmp2
TEMP=/tmp2 easy_install Flexget
To find the instalation folder use:
find / -name flexget -type f 2>/dev/null
It will probably be /opt/local/bin/flexget
To cron FlexGet every 30 minutes we use:
echo "*/30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/flexget --cron" > /root/crontabfile
crontab /root/crontabfile
To make sure flexget doesn’t fill up our system partition we use:
mkdir /DataVolume/shares/Public/flexget
ln -s /DataVolume/shares/Public/flexget /root/.flexget
This will link the flexget configuration directory into the main MBL partition
If you are using flexget in combination with transmission you also have to install:
easy_install transmissionrpc
Now you can run flexget, it will create an empty configuration file. The good thing is that because we linked the folder to the public partition you can edit the file from your laptop, without having to struggle with the terminal editors like nano.
Take a good couple of houres to figure out how to configure FlexGet. Its a long learning process but worth the effords!
Here is an example of a simple transmission coupled working config.yml:
feeds:
tv-shows:
preset: tv
rss: http://www.ezrss.it/feed/
presets:
tv:
series:
- Community
- The Big Bang Theory
set:
path: /DataVolume/shares/Public/Shared Videos/%(series_name)s
transmission:
host: localhost
port: 9091
