HellaVCR - TV downloader

[Undisclosedpower]

djclean: I'm fairly certain that sab does the throttling on nzb id's internally. But if I'm wrong I'll happily add the code in.

Any developers able to comment?

[switch]

Yes, SABnzbd handles the 5 nzb's per minute from newzbin's API.

Ok I need help here I have followed the instructions from Google code HellaVCR.5
but the hellavcr.php doesnt seem to run from Cron
To run hellaVCR

    * php hellavcr.php >> hellavcr.log
    * probably best to run it in the cron (make sure to use absolute paths)

I am not getting any output and also my programs are not getting updated in the browser, must be something simple because I am simple

[Loto_Bak]

use absolute paths. ie

php /usr/share/hellavcr/hellavcr.php or wherever you put it.

to test, run the command as above without the ">> hellavcr.log". This is output the log to screen instead of the logfile so you can see any errors

Got it!

im not affiliated, and dont get me wrong, it looks nice ... but im missing essential features here, just to show some alternative

This works beautifully if you modify it. If anyone ask I'll post my modified version, which not to take credit or anything I just followed everyone else's instructions.

Anyone know when Newbin is accepting new signups? Seems all these apps and scripts work best with newzbin, but I missed the boat on joining 

[BrandonG777]

I don't think they will, looks like they're passing out invites pretty sparingly. I was invited a couple weeks ago and haven't received any invites to give out.

[rollingeyeball]

Brandon, takes 8 weeks to be elible to recieve invites to give..
If that makes sense.

I to am in the same boat.

It does make sense... totally.

How long should this script take to run?

I am running this script on a Gentoo x64 system, with about 30 shows listed.

It runs fine, it just takes ages.  So far, the current run is up to an hour.
There are quite often big gaps between checking for new eps.

[BrandonG777]

No something is wrong. I have more shows than that and it takes around a minute.

FYI:  If the error "curl not installed" shows up,  you need to install the php5-curl module as opposed to just "curl"
on debian and like :
sudo apt-get install php-curl    (should solve it)

always use + script (option 6) , any idea how to set this ? (with sending ID)

Also I have a problem with tv.xml , it says permissions are not good , but I set it to 777 (same with all files)
But some how I still get this error (even after rebooting)
