Torrentwatch-X - Replacement for Torrentwatch/NMTDVR

[.:ian:.]

I use NMTDVR a lot, but it has some niggly problems and because it uses Yii framework its horrible to try and debug..

So looking around someone has taken the original Torrentwatch code and added features and fixed bugs. but moved away from being a specific NMT app: http://code.google.com/p/torrentwatch-x/

It lacks NMTDVRs support for tvdb/imdb lookups, only caters for TV programs, supports only Transmission or save to folder.

However the Transmission integration is v nice, and its noticably faster.

It nearly works out of the box, except it now uses PHP-Curl libs, and there is no support for this so I spent a little while writing a wrapper to mimic this library, with minimal changes to the core code.

The CSI installer package is here, http://code.google.com/p/torrentwatch-x/downloads/list

It seems to install ok on my A110, running lighthttpd 1.4.19nmt10 and works fine with Transmission 1.76, and using the ezrss and bt-chat feeds.

Please try and install it and give me feedback if you find any issues.

ETA: the web link will be http://ip of pch:9999/Torrentwatchx_web

New features:

NMTDVR import script.
Run the config wizard first, then access this via http://ip-of-nmt:9999/Torrentwatchx_web/import_nmtdvr.php
If NMTDVR is installed it will import any favourites that do not already exist in Torrentwatchx

It wont update the most recently downloaded episode num,ber, and the feed defaults to "all".
It will copy the save in location and any quality preference (720p/hdtv/etc).

Transmission Queuing

Turned off by default, edit the file transmission_queue.php to specify a download and/or seed limit, if there are more than the limit specifed the remainder are paused, until a torrent finishes, when another is started.

Runs from crontab.sh, so it will take up-to 20mins to start/stop torrents, though you can run it manually via http://ip-of-nmt:9999/Torrentwatchx_web/transmission_queue.php

Email support

Follow the instructions in the file mailscript.sh.txt, it will send an email when a favourite is downloaded, or an error occurs.

New for 0.6.2

Change the default timezone and rss feed cache lifetime, see http://code.google.com/p/torrentwatch-x/wiki/FAQ
