Thanks. Scheduling means it checks every x minutes?

Yes, think of "Scheduled" as being "Enabled", we may rename it to that in the future to be even clearer.


Foechoer, good work, but could you escape character such as & in show names in the feed description so it validates? Otherwise nothing shows when viewing the feed in firefox, and I think it may cause SABnzbd to not be able to parse it too.

& should be converted to &

This is for the list of shows selected for the feed in the area.

This is already happening:

From php.net/htmlspecialchars:

Code: Select all

 The translations performed are:

    * '&' (ampersand) becomes '&'      //  <-  This is what you asked for
    * '"' (double quote) becomes '"' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set.
    * ''' (single quote) becomes ''' only when ENT_QUOTES is set.
    * '<' (less than) becomes '<'
    * '>' (greater than) becomes '>'

Is this being applied to show names in the field of the main feed?

Take a look at: http://mytvnzb.foechoer.be/feed/id/599217047.rss

There are actually three shows matched here yet firefox shows none due to the feed not being valid. If I remove the & it shows fine.

This really cleans up the filter list.

Do you think you could add a new show called The Mentalist?

Thanks for this tool.

I have requested that as well as a bunch of other new fall shows to be added over at tvnzb.com, which is where this tool feeds from, they have been added to the shows list, so just a matter of time until Foechoer picks those changes up I guess.

Thanks for keeping me alert,
If a new show is added to tvnzb's list i have to manually add it to the list.

Mentalist and several other shows are added now.
Making a total of 486 shows in the list.. 

it should be better if I check for cancelled shows since they wont be showing in the feed anyway..
hmm.. i'll see when i have some time to clean this..

Wow this looks awesome, but I have a question -

Does the resulting feed only include new episodes of my chosen shows that AIRED over the last 2-3 days, or that have been posted? The reason I ask is because I am currently using a custom Newzbin RSS and filtering by season on a per show basis (e.g. Accept "Dexter*3x" for season 3 etc.). This is to avoid downloading newly posted episodes of old seasons.

So will your generator prevent the downloading of old eps?

Thanks!

What i understand from it, a feed is sent as soon an episode is released. So you get the latest episode released from the moment you generate your custom feed and implement it in sabnzbd.
By the way works fine for me, since I am up2date with all shows I'm interested in.

Only new aired shows are parsed.
it could be that a show is wrongly tagged as new on tvnzb.com
however they have a team who really knows what they are doing to correct things if necessary.
