Utility commands
The cross-seed app has several subcommand utilities. Some of these can help
you debug your system, or help you find more information to file a bug report.
cross-seed gen-config
Generate an empty config file in its proper location.
Options
| short form | long form | note |
|---|---|---|
-d | --docker | Specifying this flag will configure outputDir and torrentDir to /output and /torrents, respectively. |
Usage
cross-seed gen-config
cross-seed gen-config -d
cross-seed clear-cache
Do not use unless instructed to, this rarely necessary. Please seek support if you believe it's needed.
Clear the cache without causing torrents to be re-snatched and reset the
timestamps for excludeOlder and
excludeRecentSearch.
Usage
cross-seed clear-cache
cross-seed restore
Use snatched torrents from the torrent_cache to attempt to restore cross seeds.
You will need to run cross-seed inject afterwards with dataDirs configured.
This can be helpful if you have lost your torrent client session information but still have the downloaded data.
Usage
cross-seed restore
cross-seed test-notification
Send a notification to the specified URL.
Usage
cross-seed test-notification <url>
cross-seed diff
See if and why two torrents pass the matching algorithm.
Usage
cross-seed diff <owned torrent> <candidate torrent>
cross-seed tree
Check a torrent's file tree from cross-seed's perspective.
Usage
cross-seed tree file.torrent
cross-seed api-key
Show the api key.
Usage
cross-seed api-key
cross-seed reset-api-key
Reset the api key.
Usage
cross-seed reset-api-key
cross-seed clear-indexer-failures
Clears all indexer failures from the database
This should be used sparingly, and never repeatedly (back-to-back) in a short period, to clear failures that are otherwise latent/expired or erroneous in Prowlarr/Jackett due to indexers being down.
Usage
cross-seed clear-indexer-failures
cross-seed inject
Injects previously saved, or manually added, torrents from
outputDir.
By default this command will use outputDir,
however, you can also specify an inject dir by providing the argument.
Usage
cross-seed inject
cross-seed inject --inject-dir /path/to/dir
cross-seed rss
Runs a manual RSS scan (like rssCadence)
and performs your specified action on the
trackers in your torznab option.

Usage

cross-seed search
Runs a manual search (like
searchCadence) and performs your
specified action on the trackers in your
torznab option.
You can optionally override the time based exclusions in your config for this search only.

Usage
cross-seed search
