A python script allows you to enter the name of the show, scrubs it from a tv guide website and adds the release date of each episode into a scheduler. Then, the scheduler fires off and searches for each episode on a torrent aggregator (like torrentz or something) and downloads it from the best seed/leech ratio result. All without your intervention since torrent RSS is not very reliable in the public tracker scenario.
What would be the legality of distributing that script? (depending on legality, I may or may not write or have already written such a script)
- subway 13y agoCheck out Sickbeard. It basically does exactly what you're describing, plus searches Usenet indexes.
- tossawaytoday 13y ago+1 for a Sickbeard setup. Been using it for a while with SABnzbd and it's great; I've got all the shows I want waiting whenever they air, or if I decide to download a full series.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoExact setup is how I watched the first few episodes of Game of Thrones, and opted to subscribe to HBO because of their sane streaming policy.
- ericd 13y agoIs it possible now to get HBO online without having to get cable TV?
- tossawaytoday 13y agoYeah, if you subscribe to HBO Go you get everything on HBO streaming. It's a good service from what I've used. Also comes bundled with the channel if you subscribe with cable.
- sigkill 13y agoJust a note to others checking out Sickbeard. It does not download the actual video clip. It only downloads a torrent (or in my case an nzb file) which needs to be further piped.
- joshschreuder 13y agoSickbeard is for TV shows. See also (with varying degrees of effectiveness), Headphones (music), Mylar (comics), and CouchPotato (movies)
- ajtaylor 13y agoSickbeard + SABnzbd has been my go-to combination for months now. Sickbeard is regularly updated, and the integration between the two requires a small amount of initial configuration. From there, just make sure the 2 daemons are running and that's it.
- samstave 13y agoPlease email me more information on this script so I may review it for legality/science.
