prenominalnzb: Download TV episodes automatically from Newzbin

[s3ood]

http://sourceforge.net/projects/prenominalnzb

This is the only one that i am aware of that actually work on SABnzbd+ its pretty nifty, I haven't gotten it to send the nzb directly to SAB even though it supports that option, I had to make it download to my watch folder.

Also there seems to be a stupid bug in it, it will only download your episode only a day after it is released .. I haven't been able to fix that either, but it works and its great otherwise.

Note: if you want to install the extra perl modules that are required use the following commands

Code: Select all

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

then once your in the shell type the following

Code: Select all

install Data::Dumper

Code: Select all

install XML::Simple

Code: Select all

install RPC::XML

Anyone been able to get this to work?

I keep getting the following error

Code: Select all

Warning: file_get_contents(/SABnzbd/prenominalnzb/prenominalNZB.series) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /websites/xxx/Web/index.php on line 111

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'String could not be parsed as XML' in /websites/xxx/Web/index.php:112 Stack trace: #0 /websites/xxx/Web/index.php(112): SimpleXMLElement->__construct('') #1 {main} thrown in /websites/xxx/Web/index.php on line 112

According to a phpinfo() page, SimpleXML is installed and active.

I have set and changed permissions on every file related with this and double and triple checked naming.

It's a perl script like the NZBTV program

It will monitor and grab the latest episodes of your configured TV shows based on release info from another TV site (the name escapses me atm)

It will toss the files to the NZB flder, or to Hella or pass the ID to SAB

It comprises 2 components.

1) A perl script that actually does the tracking and tossing of jobs to your newsdownloader
2) A php page to modify the TV Show list

Can edit the .series file directly, but it would be handy to see the PHP script.

I like the idea of this script because then i dont need to use NZBTV (which is great) just not as easy to manage.

Found my problem.

I put the prenom files under my SABnzbd folder which had some errant file and ownership permissions.

Once i changed the root folder permissions, page worked fine.

Will report on my success of this system.

Code: Select all

install Data::Dumper

Code: Select all

install XML::Simple

Code: Select all

install RPC::XML

Or, if you're using Debian:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libdata-dumper-simple-perl libxml-simple-perl librpc-xml-perl

So far, this sucker is working great. Good stuff!

If you don't have a newzbin account, there is another program that I've been using that works pretty well.  It's called NZBivo (like Tivo with NZB's).  The homepage is here: http://www.nzbivo.info/ or you can go straight to the sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nzbivo/

It is essentially the same thing as prenominalNZB, but it uses tvnzb.com and nzbindex.nl instead of newzbin (so its 100% free!).  S3ood, for your issue about how it only grabs the show the day after it is released, that is because it relies on tvrage.com to know when an episode has aired.  Because tvrage updates daily, prenominal doesn't know that a new show has aired until the next day when tvrage updates.  Nzbivo it is smart about when it starts looking for shows, so it will actually start looking for them the same day it airs, before tvrage updates, so you'll get your stuff faster.  There is no php script to update the .shows file, so you have to edit the XML yourself, but its really easy.  I'm sure it has bugs, but the author seems to update it on a pretty regular basis, and it's worked really well for me so far.

Just my 0.02$
