The Pirate Bay Torrent Search Provider
This is a clean-up and re-rolling of an existing pull request by mr-orange. I removed all the unrelated changes, fixed white-space issues and squashed it into fewer commits.
I haven't tested it too much, but it seems to work as advertised.
The original description :
The Pirate Bay Torrent provider (NOT an RSS Provider), use some simple regex string to scrape data from TPB. The provider scrape the first 30 torrent ordered by seed per episode, it can filter torrent by trusted uploader (VIP, Trusted, Helper) if a flag is set in provider setting. It also use a web proxy to bypass some country blocking mechanism.
Is still actually needed? Does SB work with magnet links?

Any ETA on this one? Having TVDB problems with mr-orange's fork and would love to see this added here.
Dunno about anyone else, but I started getting errors in my logs due to pulling down magnet links. I've since stripped the TPB provider from my fork. I haven't looked into the issue very deeply, but if TPB has finally stripped torrent links out of their RSS feeds, SB would have to be modified outside of the provider in order to handle magnet links (AFAICT).
I believe that currently once SB has chosen an episode to download, it determines whether it's an NZB or torrent and handles appropriately (with torrents, the only option is copying to a black hole directory). A third handler would need to be implemented for magnet links, and from there the options that come to mind are:
- SB interprets the magnet link and retrieves the torrent information, creates a torrent file, and writes it to the torrent black hole directory. Not sure if this is at all doable, since I'm not an expert on magnet links.
- SB tells the OS to open the link, using the default magnet-uri handler. Probably the most workable solution, though if you're running SB on a Linux machine, there might be configuration headaches. An override option could be provided that has the magnet link handler pass data to an external script (similar to how NZBs work in some setups).
Anyway, that's my take. Someone more familiar with SB's internals could probably estimate the feasibility of handling magnet links better than I.
Hi Cameron i've updated my branch 2 week ago only for this type of Error Now the branch is Error free. I'm thinking To handle magnet link downloading the metadata from the swarm and rebuild torrent file . For the second approach i do not know if is possible with python.

Can torrent clients pick up magnet files from a watch folder and load them properly?
No it's not possible at the moment.

I've added magnet link handling to my fork (https://github.com/descention/Sick-Beard/commit/885e287d68620ad920e874b40a32cffcea13d4f8)
Magnet links can not be sent to a black hole, so an appropriate handler must be added. I added uTorrent for my setup.
Also, my apologies for the messy commit. I'm not sure how it chose to commit the whole file and not just the lines I changed.
