tExtractor

Extract torrents upon completion.

The script will recursively scan the <download_location>/<torrent_name> folder for compressed archives and extract them to <download_location>/<torrent_name>/__extracted (it will also scan the __extracted directory for any additional compressed archives and extract them into the same directory).

Help

The extract.py script has 6 parameters:

Positional parameters:

• Position 1: torrent hash/id
• Position 2: the torrent name
• Position 3: the download location

Optional parameters:

• -t DIR / --tmp DIR: Specify a custom temporary directory to perform extraction into. NOTE: DIR must exist.
• -d / --direct: Extract directly to the __extracted directory (skips temp directory and intermediate file moving)
• -v / --verbose: debug output

Usage

While this setup works with most torrent clients, I'll demonstrate the setup with qBittorrent:

• First navigate to Tools -> Options -> Downloads
• Then enable "Run external program on torrent completion"
• Enter the command: /path/to/extract.py "%I" "%N" "%D"
• Apply and restart qBittorrent for settings to take effect

The parameters %I (hash), %N (name), and %D (save path) will be automatically substituted by qBittorrent.

Extras

In the folder extras within this repository you'll find sonarr_cleanup and radarr_cleanup.

To use these scripts setup Sonarr/Radarr via Settings->Connect->Add Connection:

Name: Cleanup after processing
On Grab: No
On Download: Yes
On Upgrade: Yes
On Rename: No
Filter Movie Tags: N/A
Path: /path/to/script/location

This will check and delete the __extracted folder if Sonarr/Radarr grabbed the media item from there.
