Newsscraper

[pancus]

I wrote a php script that started as an ongoing hack and evolved for about a year into a full featured app. The entire point is to spend as little time as possible using newzbin. Here are some features.

- one click queuing of files in sabnzbd/ninan
- mouseover viewing of posting date/imdb info/nfo/previous downloads/other stuff
- keeps track of downloaded stuff so you can tell quickly if already downloaded
- searching newzbin/binsearch.info
- it also scrapes other nzb/torrents sites on demand (in my defense the torrent sites were a request  )
- scrapes tvrage and displays upcoming shows
- and the best feature, one click moving everything from the downloaded dir to a specific per show/movie/etc dir (for use with mythtv/etc)
- other stuff...

This is not for people without some PHP/Linux experience and it probably won't work on OSuX/Winblowz. I plus a few other people have been running this for about a year and it's pretty solid. I'm going to have to make a few additions/lingering fixes and some docs before posting so I want to know if people are interested before doing the work.

Attached some simple samples of what it does.

Looks great, I'd be interested in this... Why is php experience required?

Also, isn't this more of a Third-party Addon?

[rascalli]

indeed looks nice ..

but also for me I would say this looks more than an add-on than a script you run after the download is finished

Looks good

[evidenceunseen]

Yah I'd be interested, I don't like the colors, and I might modify it a bit for my own use(if you don't mind) but looks good it's more like what newzbin should be.

[pancus]

I'll get stuff ready if and only if evidenceunseen doesn't change the color scheme AND admits he loves it more then anything.   

[evidenceunseen]

Hah! I promise. lol

[th3joker]

Pancus, looks awesome would like some of that action :-)

[bugmenot]

I would also like to express my interest in this addon.

Looks very nice.

[rascalli]

any changes for a beta version ?

so people can test ?

[pancus]

Forgot I posted this here 

Anyway if people are still interested I'll zip it up as is. You WILL need some linux/php knowledge to get it working. It's not a user-friendly project just yet.

[rascalli]

still interested ;-)

Well its been about a week so either this works fine or nobody tried it 

[EvilSIN]

i only just installed it yesterday and will be giving it a thorough look at this week.. just been so busy =P

So far ive seen it load the correct info from newzbin and tvnzb but i need get deep into the settings you have for it and ill give an update as i go

fyi im running it on apache on windows.. so a few tweaks might need to be done to get it to work fully.
