A Sonarr post processing script to change the rTorrent label after import (unnecessary in v3 due to Post-Import Category).

sonarr_label_change.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script uses the xmlrpc command from the xmlrpc-c package to change the label of an imported torrent in rTorrent.

# First argument is host
host="${1:-localhost}"

# Second argument is port
port="${2:-9081}"

# Third argument is new label
new_label="${3:-seed}"

# Identifiable portion of path to torrents, so it will only run on torrents.
# For example, with a path of "/data/torrents/movies", "torrents" is a good choice.
torrent_path_portion="torrents"

# Check that the movie is a torrent.
if ! [[ "${sonarr_episodefile_sourcepath}" =~ ${torrent_path_portion} ]]; then
  echo "[Torrent Label] Path ${sonarr_episodefile_sourcepath} does not contain \"torrent\", exiting."
  exit
fi

# Check for the xmlrpc command
if ! [[ -x $( command -v xmlrpc ) ]]; then
  echo "[Torrent Label] No xmlrpc binary found."
  exit
fi

if [[ -n ${sonarr_download_id} ]]; then
  if xmlrpc "${host}":"${port}" d.custom1.set "${sonarr_download_id}" "${new_label}" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "[Torrent Label] Label for torrent ${sonarr_release_title} with hash ${sonarr_download_id} changed to ${new_label}"
  else
    echo "[Torrent Label] Label for torrent ${sonarr_release_title} with hash ${sonarr_download_id} NOT CHANGED."
    exit
