tomaccio

Taste Oriented Media Assistant Accio: a small, local-first CLI for searching media releases, sending downloads to Transmission, and exporting watched-movie history from Plex.

Tomaccio is intentionally lightweight. It has no database, no background daemon, and no recommendation engine in v0; it focuses on exposing simple commands that humans or automation agents can compose.

Features

• Search configured release providers through tomagnet.
• Add magnet or torrent URLs to Transmission.
• List current Transmission downloads and progress.
• Sync public indexer definitions for first-run setup.
• Read watched movie history from Plex.
• Emit watched movies as JSON by default for easy scripting.
• Keep secrets out of config files with ${ENV_VAR} expansion.

Requirements

• Go 1.26 or newer
• A Transmission RPC endpoint for download commands
• A Plex server and token for tomaccio watched
• Synced tomagnet indexer definitions for search commands (tomaccio definitions sync)

Installation

Build from source:

git clone https://github.com/sergiobonfiglio/tomaccio.git
cd tomaccio
go build -o tomaccio ./cmd/tomaccio

If you use just, you can also run:

just build

Quick start

Create a local config file:

cp config.example.yaml config.yaml

Set any secrets referenced by the config:

export TRANSMISSION_USERNAME='...'
export TRANSMISSION_PASSWORD='...'
export PLEX_TOKEN='...'

Run commands:

./tomaccio definitions sync
./tomaccio download check
./tomaccio search "The Matrix 1999"
./tomaccio watched
./tomaccio download add "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
./tomaccio download list

Use --config to load a different YAML file:

./tomaccio --config ./config.local.yaml search "Alien 1979"

Configuration

See config.example.yaml for a complete example.

app:
  log_level: info

download:
  label: "tomaccio"
  dir_aliases:
    movies: "/media/usb-drive/movies"
    series: "/media/usb-drive/series"
  transmission:
    url: "https://transmission.example.com/transmission/rpc"
    username: "${TRANSMISSION_USERNAME}"
    password: "${TRANSMISSION_PASSWORD}"
    download_dir: "/media/usb-drive/movies"

# search.providers is optional. If omitted, tomaccio uses default public indexers.
# Example:
# search:
#   providers:
#     - indexer_id: "thepiratebay"

watched:
  plex:
    url: "http://plex.example.com:32400"
    token: "${PLEX_TOKEN}"

Environment variables in YAML are expanded when the config is loaded, so secrets can stay out of files committed to git. If download.label is omitted, tomaccio defaults to the Transmission label tomaccio; set download.label: "" to disable labels entirely.

Search providers

Search is powered by tomagnet. If search.providers is omitted, tomaccio uses tomagnet's default public indexers, currently btdig, yts, limetorrents, and thepiratebay. Before the first public-indexer search, sync definitions:

tomaccio definitions sync

Definition storage and loading are managed by tomagnet.

Custom providers can be configured with:

• name: optional display name used in results and warnings; defaults to indexer_id
• indexer_id: tomagnet indexer definition id
• base_url: optional indexer base URL override
• timeout_seconds: optional per-provider timeout

Examples:

search:
  providers:
    - indexer_id: "thepiratebay"

search:
  providers:
    - indexer_id: "thepiratebay"
    - name: "YTS"
      indexer_id: "yts"
      timeout_seconds: 10
    - name: "LimeTorrents mirror"
      indexer_id: "limetorrents"
      base_url: "https://www.limetorrents.lol/"

Provider failures are printed as warnings while successful providers still return results.

Commands

definitions sync

Sync public indexer definitions managed by tomagnet.

tomaccio definitions sync

download check

Check that the configured Transmission endpoint is reachable.

tomaccio download check

download list

List current Transmission downloads.

tomaccio download list
tomaccio download list --label tomaccio

Output format:

<ID>    <status>    <progress%>    <labels>    <title>

download dirs

List configured download directory aliases.

tomaccio download dirs

Output format:

movies	/media/usb-drive/movies
series	/media/usb-drive/series

download add

Add a magnet or torrent URL to Transmission.

tomaccio download add "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
# or
tomaccio download add --url "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
# override download directory for this item with a path
tomaccio download add --dir /path/to/movies "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
# or use a configured alias
tomaccio download add --dir movies "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."

Tomaccio applies the configured download.label to added torrents. If download.label is omitted, it defaults to tomaccio. If it is set to an empty string, no label is sent.

search

Search configured providers for a movie release.

tomaccio search "The Matrix 1999"
tomaccio search "The Matrix (1999)"
tomaccio search --format json "The Matrix 1999"

If the query ends with a year, tomaccio passes the title and year separately to the search provider. Text output is the default. Use --format json to emit the full search result, including provider errors.

watched

List watched movies from Plex.

tomaccio watched

JSON is the default output for scripting:

tomaccio watched --format json

For tab-separated text:

tomaccio watched --format text

Development

Common commands:

just fmt
just test
just build
just check

Equivalent Go commands:

gofmt -w cmd internal
go test ./...
go build -o tomaccio ./cmd/tomaccio

Tomaccio only coordinates tools you configure. Use it with services and content you are authorized to access.
