+Example Flexget Config
+======================
+
+This is a sample configuration for using Flexget. Please note the following:
+
+* Any references to the ```secrets``` value is using the ```secrets``` plugin, obviously the file isn't available in the repository.
+* Intervals are defined in the config and ```flexget execute --cron``` is ran every 5 minutes.
+* Don't just mindlessly copy and paste the config then message me with issues. I won't support you.
