RSS Torrents Backend

A Laravel-based backend service for monitoring and managing RSS torrent feeds. This package provides automated RSS feed parsing, torrent discovery, and series/episode management capabilities for the Clarion App ecosystem.

Features

• RSS Feed Monitoring: Automated parsing of torrent RSS feeds (EZTV, Nyaa Subsplease)
• Series Management: Track and manage TV series with subscription capabilities
• Episode Tracking: Monitor individual episodes with metadata (resolution, size, magnet links)
• Scheduled Processing: Automatic feed checking every minute via Laravel scheduler
• RESTful API: Full CRUD operations for series and episodes

Supported Feed Sources

• EZTV (https://eztv.re/ezrss.xml) - TV series torrents
• Nyaa Subsplease - Anime series torrents

Configuration

The package automatically registers:

• Database migrations for series and episodes
• API routes under the configured route prefix
• Scheduled command for feed checking
• Console commands

API Endpoints

All endpoints require authentication (auth:api middleware).

Feeds

• GET /feeds/urls - Get list of available RSS feed URLs
• GET /feeds/torrents - Retrieve torrents from all feeds

Series Management

• GET /series - List all series
• POST /series - Create a new series
• GET /series/{id} - Get specific series details
• PUT /series/{id} - Update series information
• DELETE /series/{id} - Delete a series
• GET /series-subscribed - Get subscribed series only
• PATCH /series/{id}/toggle-subscription - Toggle series subscription
• PATCH /series/bulk-subscription - Bulk update subscriptions

Console Commands

Check Feeds

php artisan feeds:check

Manually trigger RSS feed checking and database updates.

Database Schema

Series Table (rss_torrents_series)

• id - Primary key
• name - Series name (normalized)
• title - Display title
• feed_url - RSS feed URL
• subscribed - Subscription status (boolean)
• created_at, updated_at - Timestamps
• deleted_at - Soft delete timestamp

Episodes Table (rss_torrents_episodes)

• id - Primary key
• series_id - Foreign key to series
• episode_identifier - Episode identifier (S01E01, date, etc.)
• title - Episode title
• resolution - Video resolution (SD, 720p, 1080p)
• size - File size
• magnet_url - Magnet link for download
• created_at, updated_at - Timestamps

Architecture

Core Classes

• RssTorrentsServiceProvider - Laravel service provider for package registration
• RssParser - Main RSS parsing coordinator
• Rss - Base RSS feed handler
• EZTV / NyaaSubsplease - Feed-specific parsers
• Series / Episode - Eloquent models with multi-chain support
• CheckFeeds - Console command for feed processing

Feed Processing Flow

1. Scheduler runs feeds:check command every minute
2. RssParser retrieves feed URLs and delegates to appropriate parsers
3. Feed-specific parsers extract torrent information
4. Series and episodes are created/updated in database
5. API endpoints provide access to processed data

Adding New Feed Sources

1. Create a new class extending Rss in the Feeds/ directory
2. Implement the getTorrents() method
3. Add the feed URL to the $valid_feeds static property
4. Register in RssParser::getURLs()
