Hi there,

Gosh, I'm afraid I've no idea All I can suggest is looking on google for someone with a similar problem. I've not seen this before, everything went swimmingly for me.

Sorry,

Ian.

perhaps someone else can help??

Hi Buntuser

I noticed their was a problem yesterday, the Flexget website is down for unscheduled maintenance. Don't know if it is up and running again? ...............Just had a look and it seems to be back again. It may be their are still issues, their is a note about not being able to sync with the repository.

I can't check if my problem is fixed as I am away on business..............Travel Lodges stink!!!

Hi Dunk,
i don't think my problem is related to flexget website, first of all, because it seems like a python problem, and second, because i experianced the problem few days ago. but thanks for the effort anyway!

Hi,
it turns out i had no problem at all! the only thing was that i used python -v instead of python -V (stupid me)
so, now that i have flexget up and running, i have an additional question - i would like to use a rlslog cookbook recipe, as shown here: http://flexget.com/wiki/Cookbook/Movies/Rlslog
but, i would like to incorporate and additional rss feed into it: i have an rss feed coming from a subtitles website. i would like to run the rlslog cookbook filter based on the subtitles rss feed.
for example - a typical rss feed would list all releases that already have subs, in this example, for the movie "The Sitter", something like that:

The.Sitter.2011.1080p.BluRay.x264-Felony
The.Sitter.2011.2in1.1080p.Blu-ray.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-CHD
The.Sitter.2011.720p.BluRay.x264-Felony
The.Sitter.2011.720p.BRRip-sc0rp
The.Sitter.2011.Totally.Irresponsible.Edition.Unrated.Extended.Cut.Blu-ray.1080p.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1.R
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.1080p.BluRay.10bit.DTS.x264-LEGi0N
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.720p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.720p.BRRIP.X264.AC3.CrEwSaDe
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.720p.BRRiP.XviD.AC3-REFiLL
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.720p.BRRip.XVID.AC3.ADTRG
The.Sitter.2011.UnRated.AC3.720p.BRRip.XViD-RemixHD
The.Sitter.2011.Unrated.BDRip.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRip.AC3.XviD-ADMiRE
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRIP.x264.AC3-HOPE
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRip.XViD.AC3-5.1-ADTRG
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRip.XviD.AC3-LEGi0N
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRip.XviD.AC3-PRESTiGE
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.BRRip.XvidHD.720p-NPW
The.Sitter.2011.UNRATED.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-PRESTiGE
The.Sitter.UNRATED.2011.1080p.BrRip.x264-1.4GB-YIFY
The.Sitter.UNRATED.DVDRip.XviD-DiAMOND

i would like flexget to run rlslog filter on these releases only. any ideas?
hope i was clear enough
thanks agin!
