[WIP] Crazy Beaver - Nzb's made easy / An auto movie download program

[Gotcha007]

Project Home : http://code.google.com/p/crazy-beaver/

I'm starting from the very good work of binhex to implement a new version of Auto Movie Downloader

This monitors nzbmatrix.com/nzbs.org/nzb.su for releases on a defined period, it then checks imdb for certain criteria, if there is a positive match then it will download the nzb to either a queued folder or to the defined "watched" folder for sabnzbd+ to download.

******** Windows Binaries and Source Code available (works with Linux) ********

feature list
 * checks for existing movies in folder / XBMC or CouchPotato (if found can download it and remove it from CouchPotato)
 * define genres
 * define min rating
 * define min votes
 * define min year
 * define favorite actors
 * define favorite directors
 * define favorite characters
 * define favorite movie titles
 * define ignore titles
 * define ignore genres
 * define prefered genres and rating
 * define queue genres (used for genres you may or may not want)
 * define queue year (can be used for early movies you may or may not want)
 * download trailer for movie
 * create metadata for movie browser (media center plugin)
 * email notification of queued and downloading jobs
 * min download size to accept
 * title value filtering e.g telesync, telecine etc.
 * Send Prowl and Growl notification
 * Send notification to XBMC
 * Manual Download of skipped movie





TODO --> http://code.google.com/p/crazy-beaver/issues/list

Any suggestions are welcome.

Installation
- First you need to edit the default config.ini and then rename it to config.ini
- If you want to run it from python and therefore not using the windows Binaries you must be sure that you have the following installed:

  If you want to use the source code and run it from python you will need the below modules You will need
   * Python 2.7 minimum http://www.python.org/
   * python-wxtools  2.9.1.1 http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#unstable
   * python-mechanize 0.2.4 http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/
   * ConfigObj 4.7.2 http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html

I like this idea, something that would be really cool is to integrate this with follw.it.

So after watching enough movies and reported them to follw.it, it will generate a recommendations list for you.
It would be cool if this recommendations list is imported in to Couchpotato (of course only the movies you don't have).

Very good idea, in fact I already thought about it but with an integration with Trakt.tv because I know they have an API for it.
I'll check follw.it. Thanks for the suggestion

Forgive me for being a dumbass, but I'm not 100% sure how this actually differs from CouchPotato?  I'm already using CP (along with SickBeard and Sab) and it works great.  How does your program integrate into the mix?

The difference is that in CP you specify a movie name. In CB you just ask everything that goes out on Usenet that match your criterias (rating, genre, year,..)

Absolute dumbass question here. How do you launch the GUI? I downloaded the windows binaries, ran through the config, and ran CrazyBeaver.exe. A command prompt opened momentarily. I did try Google, and searched up and down your Google Code site, but didn't see any documentation on how to access the GUI.

Thanks!
-Blaine

Edit: Saw your post on XBMC forums, so I tried running the executable from a command prompt as recomended to someone else. Played with the config again and got it working!

Thanks again!

You have to launch the crazybeaver.exe but make sure that the default config.ini  is renamed to config.ini

Small update also by the way that I forgot to post here

Why did you go with a GUI instead of a web interface? I would probably use this if I wasn't tied to a GUI on one machine

It's foreseen for the future but for the time being I was more confident with the GUI.

How should I run this on Ubuntu Linux? I get the error messages below...

Code: Select all

sander@R540:~/Downloads/Crazy Beaver source$ python setup.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>

I installed SPE, which took care of the wx / wx.animate stuff.

I then installed python-mechanize.

Now the problems below:

I too would like to run the program on linux (and osx for that matter).
So far however I have been unable to make it work.. Can someone explain how it is done under linux?

Cheers
