Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

Where is the TorrentRSS feature within Prowlarr? According to the wiki there should be an ability to add TorrentRSS feeds?

[https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/faq#can-i-add-any-generic-torrent-rss-feed](url)

Is this a bug that stops the option from appearing? Or is this a feature that does no exit/removed/still to come?

Expected Behavior

Have the ability to add RSS feeds into Prowlarr

Steps To Reproduce

Attempt to add a generic torrent RRS or TorrentRSS indexer into Prowlarr

Environment

- OS:Ubuntu 20.04
- Prowlarr: 1.5.2.3484
- Docker Install: Yes, Portainer
- Using Reverse Proxy: Nginx Proxy Manager
- Browser: Chrome

What branch are you running?

Master

Thanks for the automated response, but this is a bug if it's supposed to be in the UI but it doesn't show up? I'm basically trying to use a feature that should exist, according to the wiki, but in actuality it doesn't seem to be available?

For reference, I've already asked on/in the Subreddit, and it's been over 14 days with no response?

Upgrade to a develop or nightly build, because master doesn't have it yet.

@mynameisbogdan thanks for taking the time to reply to me about this 😉. Do we know if this works as I'm anticipating? In that it'll download the RSS feed and allow Prowlarr to cache these results and feed then out upon request? And/Or is it a separate RSS feed given to *arr apps as and when they request it?

I'll spin up another container and take a look at the develop + nightly builds 👍

No, prowlarr doesn't cache the RSS feed. It's simply parsing the RSS contents and returns the releases as a normal torznab feed to the arrs.

Ok, thanks, so not quite what I was hoping for, but at least it's something. Last question and I'll shut-up after this, do you know if Prowlarr validates SSL certificates? Could I build a HTTPS proxy and feed that to Prowlarr in general?

I know it seems overkill, I'm just trying to minimize my footprint and requests to 3rd parties. I have a huge back catalogue that all need work but I'll killing my connections with "too many requests". I know making duplicate requests (during my migration), so I'm trying to find geeky ways to reduce this?

Yes, it does validate SSL certs but you can disable it for all requests which I don't recommend.

At what cache TTL you're thinking at?

Also Torrent RSS won't work with searches, only keyword-less searches aka RSS syncs. So this might not be what you're looking for. :)

Disabling SSL certs is always a bad move 👍😉 I'll only be doing it for testing purposes while I get things figured out. After that I can look at hardening everything again.

I'm not too sure on TTL, to start with I'll probably have a ludicrous time of ~8hrs. The RSS feed I'm using is a full 24hr catalogue, so some arbitrary value between 12 to 24 would work for me. That said I also need to control general API (non-RSS) connections as I'm smashing those connections during my testing and migration. So also having that at a silly high number to begin with would help/work.

It's all because of the migration process, I have multiple systems all chatting, asking for the same stuff. I just need to calm it all down and cache results. I initially hoped that Prowlarr would do this out of the box, e.g. "something asked for this 30mins ago, my config is set to 60mins for a duplicate request, pass on previous result(s)", but it's a very specific edge-case, so understand why this would be the case 😁

Newly coming to *arr, I didn't realise the ethos of how it worked until I started testing. It's not how my other systems worked in the past. Initially I wasn't impressed, but then I realised it's advantages 😉. It is actually these RSS syncs I want to cache, for now, as I have too many systems/containers polling it/them. No one needs over 8 file management apps/solutions, but that's where I'm at with testing 🤣
