tvbutler 0.1a3

tvbutler reads RSS feeds from http://tvtorrents.com and downloads torrents of new episodes for you in your preferred quality

tvbutler reads RSS feeds from http://tvtorrents.com and downloads torrents of new episodes for you in your preferred quality (but is smart enough to fallback to non-HD versions, if available).

Configuration

The configuration lives in ~/.tvbutler/config:

[main]
download_dir=~/Downloads/
# one of sd, 720p, 1080p
preferred_quality=720p

# one per line, indented
feeds =
    http://www.tvtorrents.com/mytaggedRSS?digest=xxxxx
    http://www.tvtorrents.com/mydownloadRSS?digest=xxxx

Usage

tvbutler is designed to work as a crontab or launchd entry. Called without any parameters it will download all given feeds, try to identify shows and then figure out which episodes are available in which quality. It then downloads the torrent files into the given target directory (which typically will be ‘watched’ by a torrent client).
