RSS feed doesn't return any results?

[drelephant]

Using lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbhydra2:latest docker image.

I'm trying to add a feed from nzbhydra2 to FreshRSS so I can know when the latest linux isos are released.

But the rss feed never returns any results?

http://<serverip>:5076/api?apikey=<apikey>&t=search&q=linux+iso

The response is always:

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>NZBHydra 2</title>
<link>https://www.github.com/theotherp/nzbhydra2</link>
<webMaster>theotherp@posteo.net</webMaster>
<generator>NZBHydra2</generator>
<newznab:response offset="0" total="0"/>
</channel>
</rss>

Even though when I manually search, I get a lot of results.

In case it makes a difference, I'm only using torrent indexers.

What am I doing wrong?

Aah, I checked the logs with sudo docker logs -f nzbhydra2 and they all say:

Not using <tracker name> because torznab indexers cannot be used by API NZB searches
No indexers were selected for this search. You probably don't have any indexers configured which support the provided ID type or all of your indexers which do are currently disabled. You can enable query generation to work around this.

I tried going to Config-Searching and changing "Generate queries" to "All searches", but it still didn't work.

So I guess nzbhydra2 can't do what I'm trying to do?

In the config screen you can click the "API?" button for that info.

Thank you!!

In FreshRSS, it doesn't show any info except the name and you can download the magnet/torrent. I can't even see which indexer the link came from (although I do see that that info is there in the raw feed torznab:attr name="hydraIndexerName" ).

Is there some other app or app category that I should/could be using to read the nzbhydra2 feeds?

Sorry, the learning curve with docker/indexers/torznab/rss has been steep over the last few days...

Also, where's the best place I can ask questions? I have another question but not really appropriate as a bug report.

Automation tools like sonarr or radarr would be your best bet. Or NZB360 if you're on android. See https://trash-guides.info/

I got FreshRSS to show more info by using an XPathBridge in RSS-Bridge with these settings:

Web Page URL:
http://<serverip>:5076/torznab/api?apikey=<apikey>&t=search&q=<searchtext>
Item selector:
//item
Item title selector:
./title
Item description selector:
./comments
Item URL selector:
string(./enclosure/@url)
Item author selector:
string(./*[@name="hydraIndexerName"]/@value)
Item date selector (doesn't work):
./pubDate
Item category selector:
./category

Thanks again.

I wasn't sure about sonarr or radarr because they're supposedly for movies/TV shows - do they work for random files like linux isos as well?
