FlexGet

FlexGet is a free, open-source automation tool for media and other content, including torrents, NZBs, podcasts, comics, TV, movies, RSS, HTML, and CSV. It uses YAML configuration files to define tasks and plugin settings. Plugins can create, filter, modify, or download entries, and alter how the tool operates. FlexGet can run as a daemon and schedule tasks from its configuration. It integrates with clients such as Deluge, Transmission, uTorrent, rTorrent, and SABnzbd, and can connect with Trakt, TheTVDB, or IMDb for managing and tracking series or movies. A JSON API can run independently of the web UI; starting the web server requires a password. The Web UI v2 is experimental and not recommended for new users. Installation guidance covers Windows, Linux/BSD, Mac OS X, and Docker. YAML may be confusing to newcomers, though a validator helps identify mistakes. The project reports that critical remote-code-execution vulnerabilities involving the exec and decompress plugins were addressed in version 3.20.13 and advises upgrading.
