qBittorrent: v3.3.12 (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10 x64
RSS: Refresh - 1 min | Max articles: 250

Problem: I have auto download enabled with a set of RSS rules. Right now, there are 2 episodes for two of my shows available which match my filter...however:

They:

DON'T show up in the master RSS list with my 250 entries (the ones that I have manually excluded do - such as the 720p versions of said shows). They are definitely within the last 250 based on time, etc. but qBittorrent does not show them even though I can see them in the matched filters list.
I have no way to force a download of these items other than going to the actual torrent site and downloading the torrent myself
Sometimes, these downloads will kick off HOURS after they've been sitting out there. For example, a new show will match a filter at 10PM EST on Friday night but won't auto download until like 8AM Saturday morning. I sometimes watch shows 'day of' so this is mildly annoying...

Expected Behavior: As soon as a torrent matching a filter is found, it should download it immediately if it's a weekly release and not a repack, etc..

Steps to reproduce: Happens randomly but until rectified (see below) will not resolve itself. Not sure what triggers this behavior.

Steps to rectify (temporarily):

Export all RSS Downloader rules
Delete all RSS Downloader rules
Uncheck "Enable Automated RSS Downloader"
Remove RSS feed
Shutdown qBittorrent
Run CCleaner to remove temp files/cache
Create new RSS feed key on my trackers side
Start qBittorrent
Create RSS feed using #7
Import all rules
Set rules to new feed
Enable automated RSS downloader

This pretty much resolves the issue.......until it happens again (and again, again, again). Today it didn't but I think it's because I logged into my tracker and by doing so it marked those shows as 'read' and thus when I added the RSS back, it didn't look for them anymore.

Other information:

I have all my rules set to ignore subsequent matches for 7 days per some posts on here...

In addition...snippet of my event log:

What I expect to see for all shows that match a filter:

(N) 2017-05-12T22:58:56 - Downloading 'https://xxxxxxxxxxx/Hawaii.Five-0.2010.S07E25.HDTV.x264-SVA.torrent', please wait...
(N) 2017-05-12T22:58:56 - 'Hawaii.Five-0.2010.S07E25.HDTV.x264-SVA' added to download list.

However, for the shows currently sitting out there matching a filter, I don't see ANY entries in my log file...no mention of them ever being found, etc.

What gives?

Anyone? I have another show sitting out there that matches a filter but qBittorrent doesn't seem to have an intention of downloading it.

Downgrade to v3.3.10. I had a similar issue with 3.3.11 and downgraded to 3.3.10 and it worked.

Thanks @Aerozolic, I'll give that a try. Might be hard to replicate now since all of my shows are on break though lol.

Same issue here. RSS articles match in matching RSS Articles box, but do not download.

Have you guys tried the 3.4.0beta? There is a big RSS redesign and maybe such things are fixed.

@thalieht , I'm going to try it. I just got back from my honeymoon and "The Last Ship" isn't showing...but I just did a test filter against the newest TV show from my RSS feed and it showed up so maybe it's just because I'm a few hours behind and my PC was off while I was away.

Will keep this thread updated. I was working pretty good on 3.3.10 x64, for anyone who is wondering.

3.40Beta was terrible. My RSS downloader would turn off even after I turned it on with each open/close of the application. RSS downloader also would only show a few entries in the RSS feed instead of the 100, 150, 200 I set it at. So I decided to try 3.3.15 x64 and it was just as bad, although RSS downloader would stay enabled. I have my RSS feed set to show 250 entries and it only shows 80-85...so, that being said The Last Ship did not download this Sunday as I was in Toronto. Had to download it manually...again.

Going back to 3.3.10. RSS is completely broken with anything after that it seems, at least for me.

Just updating this.

3.3.10 usually works but occasionally will let a show sit out there for 4-5hrs before it downloads it...if it downloads it at all. I've gotten in a habit of just scanning my downloader to see if anything hasn't been matched in 8+ days and then downloading those manually.

Hoping this is eventually fixed though...still.

FWIW, my issue stemmed from the RSS feed itself. Changing to site magnet feed fixed all my problems (rssdd_magnet.php instead of rssdd.php).

@nine9999 , I'm assuming that's specific to your tracker? I don't see any option for any kind of different feed from my tracker (TorrentLeech).

EDIT: I just checked their help page out and noticed this:

Please bear in mind that abusing this service WILL get you banned. Please use a logical interval for checking the rss feed, in any case not less than 10 mins.

I had mine set to 2min. OOPS. I set mine to 10, so let's see if this alleviates my issue. If so, I'll be damned! lol.

Update: So, since I fixed my RSS time limit to be 10+ minutes rather than 2, it's been missing far less shows. Only one in like 9 attempts so far. Before it was hit or miss, 50/50. I'm on to something! lol

Approaching 50/50 again. Two shows were in the match list (but NOT in the RSS feed) and had to manually download them.

WHAT. THE. HECK!?

Had this problem too. 3.4.0b has the problem as well. 3.3.16 seems fine to me. All of my RSS refresh times are set to 30 minutes.

It wouldn't be a big deal if I could download from the "Downloader" window (where you setup the filters). Because whenever the issue happens, the shows show up there but NOT in the RSS feed.

Yet another update, still on 3.3.16:

So, for some reason, I noticed that when I went into my RSS tab it was always pre-selecting the 'unread' queue instead of the '' queue. So even though I could see the shows in the RSS Downloader, I couldn't see them in unread. I was (wrongly) under the impression that 'read' meant that it was one I clicked on or marked as read. That's not the case, if a match is made via filter, it marks it as read.

Knowing this, I can easily now just go to my tracker queue and find the ones marked as read automatically and download them. Much easier than having to go out and download the actual torrent file like I was doing before.

So, the current issue amounts to this:

qBittorrent will match a filter, mark the item as read but NOT download it. It'll still show it to you so you can manually download it.

I wish the following happened, even if the issue is present:

When a match is made via filter, bump up the episode number or set the match
Allow you to right click directly from the downloader window and download the torrent instead of having to rely on scrolling through 100, 200, 1000 items in the RSS feed

We are closing all issues related to old qBittorrent versions (qBittorrent < 4.1.0).
Please, update to last release and, if the bug/error/crash is still present, open another issue.
