I made an extension for Safari to be able to download from IMDB (the same way than the Firefox Userscript is working)

Don't hesitate to tell me any bugs or improvement request

Excellent!

suggestion: adding MetaCritic.com also.

Script updated: - Added an "AppleTV2" setting as primary device option, not just [original] AppleTV - 720P 50fps can now be encoded to 720P as 25fps which the AppleTV can play, it can't play 50fps 720P content - Updated race schedules for 2011 season for Bahrain schedule change. Here is th...

I've never used groups, unaware of how they work, the script uses Categories. 

BTW - one small enhancement to make in the scripts. I just came to realize recently that some HD sports recordings are coming in at 720P or 1080 resulution and at 50fps or 60fps. The AppleTV doesn't support 50 or 60fps. So I'll put in the smarts to automatically change the fps from 50 to 25 and 60 t...

You need to set up the Categories section in Config, here is how mine is setup.

For TV shows - does the script do any episode look up against a tvdb at all?

nope, tags off the file name.

I use an original AppleTV so haven't played with the aTV2, but assuming the AppleTV settings work fine on the ATV2, you can choose "TV 720P" and it will encode to 720P if it is compatible, meaning that the resolution is 720P or higher, and the FPS is 25fps or lower, if not it defaults to ...

Thanks Randy, I have a 'fake' iTunes script running as we speak... I have another questions while you're here!  :)  I'm using this for my Apple TV2 and the TV shows I download are always 720p shows (.mkv files).  I want them to look like 720p shows when I watch them on my TV through the ATV - what ...

Makes sense - thanks. Another question (and not sure if this is answered elsewhere) but I am interested in using iDentify alongside your script.  How do the two integrate?  How do you make them play together? iDentify isn't used for TV shows, but as it installs, it should be loading encoded movies ...

Very nice - I'm going to try this right now.  I can see how this would do one file at a time, but say I have 5 720p tv shows in a directory (/Users/stevo/Downloads/ToProcess).  I would set the following: DIR="/Users/stevo/Downloads/ToProcess" NAME="*" CATEGORY="tv 720p"...

Hi Randy, First - THANK you very much for this script.  It's sensational and the doc you put together is excellent too.  I've been manually downloading and handbraking my tv shows for the ATV2 and it's getting old so this script rocks! I had another question (or maybe an enhancement) for you - I li...

PLEX works like a dream on my AppleTV......easily streams 1080p 10gb files.....also use it on my iPad!! I messed around setting up SICKBEARD a long time ago, but found it really confusing coming from using simple rss feeds like medianzb.com.....any tips for a n00b to get this implemented into my SA...

Only read the 1st page of the thread.....curious why you didn't just jailbreak your AppleTV and install PLEX so it would "just work" without dealing with converting all your media into a format Apple 'approves'?? Easier to not mess with it in my opinion, plus the fact that when I re-encod...

Script updated: - Updated race schedules for 2011 season (if you like me watch Formula1, MotoGP and or WRC - it has updated info to tag them with.) - Updated for file type *.ts, ran across a download that was type *.ts and the script wasn't set to process it, now it is. Here is the script, rebuilt t...

Hi, Thank you for the script. I can confirm that everything works as you say it does on OS 10.6.5. I am just running a few video files through it to check the process etc. You did one hell of a job on this script, well done to you. A couple of questions for you if I may.. 1. Are you still willing t...
