Just a screenshot

To let you guys know things are moving forward. Here's a screenshot ;)

The Organizer is finished as well.. All that really remains now, are GUI for the different settings and such..

Shouldn't be too long now :)

Progress.. v3.0

Thought I'd keep you guys updated on the progress with regards to version 3.0.


Where are we:
- Rule-engine - finished and tested
- Rss-engine - finished and tested
- Rss <-> Rule - finished and tested
- Create rule based on item in Rss - finished and tested
- Download item directly from Rss-feed - finished and tested
- Get rules based on next-episode.net watchlist - finished and tested
- Interface is made in WPF this time around, and has come a bit further than the previous post (screens will come later today)
- Interaction with server is finished, needs a bit more testing

Where are we going:
Still a few things left to implement, but I'm moving along quite nicely.
- Fileorganizer will be rewritten, started but not finished
- Interface for adding new feed

- Interface for adding new rule

- Interface for fileorganizer

- Interface for general settings

- Integration with thetvdb.com (made a test-project here, to try it out, but it's not implemented in the current build)

I might or might not release a public alpha soon, just to get things tested properly, but we'll see.. Maybe I'll just finish up, and release the final version.

Either way, it shouldn't be too long :)

Suggestions are greatly appreciated! I'm sure you guys have some clever ideas :)

Update!

Hi everyone

I lost all my sourcecode in a moment of bad judgement when upgrading to Windows 7... This sucks, and a few of you have asked for a copy of the source, which unfortunately wont be happening with this version.

Sorry for taking so long to release new versions, but between work and this thing called 'My life', it's a pretty time consuming effort to make this application :)

However. There are good news. I'm closing in on finishing my new and improved version.

Here's a screenshot of the first form-design draft

This version will include the following:

- Incredibly much better rule-matching

- More fluent and stable User interface

- Automatic rule-generation based on items in feed

- Show-selection (based on mytvdb.com)

- Episode names and info for file-organizer (also retrieved from mytvdb.com)

- Better imdb-lookup (using more than just imdb for lookup)

- More managable code for upgrading, making changes etc.

- Faster, slicker and overall better performance :)

For all of you that have asked for the source-code, I'll wait until this version is finished, and then maybe bring you guys on board. I'm not really interested in letting 100 other people change an if-statement in my code, and publishing this app as their own ;) But help is always appreciated.

And last, for everyone reading this blog and using my application - Thank you! It really makes it worthwhile developing something like this, knowing someone is actually appreciating it!

Keep sending me bugs and feature-suggestions/requests. It's what keeps me going.

Update

Hi everyone!

The last six months have just been so busy that I have not been able to do anything at all with the NZBFeeder. I apologize for this, but it's timeconsuming and I've had alot of different projects going on.

I was |--| <- this close to stopping development all together. BUT:

Seems like I'm getting more free time now, so you might be happy to hear that I'm well on my way with version 3.0 of NZBFeeder. I'm taking all your bugreports and feedback into consideration, and I assure you, this version will be more stable, less memoryconsuming and faster than ever :)

So, for the preliminary 'whats-new':

- Better error-handling to avoid unexplained crashes
- Better logging of downloads
- Fileorganizer will be faster and 'smarter', and easier to configure

- Option to get show-information from next-episode.net to automatically generate rules based on your watchlist
- "Grab" rule directly from the rss-result of the feeds you specify

I might also try to implement the show-selector again, but I hate depending on third parties, or something that might fail, so we'll see.

Anyway. If there are any features you want, please let me know!

I will also strip away alot of features that I don't think is very useful.. Statistics are a joke, so I wont be continuing with them :) (Although a download-list will of course be present)


Come on guys! Give me your feedback! :)

February Update

Hi everyone!

I'm receiving a lot of feedback on my application, which I think is great! It's wonderful to see that so many are actually trying it out.

In a moment of delusion last year, I actually had plans to make some sort of subscription-based application, but I'm happy to announce that the application will stay free forever. The reason for this is basically that I hate finding applications I like, only to realize that they are gonna charge me a million$ after 30 days :)

Anyway, that said, I'm still having issues with my hosting, so the "Select TV-show" feature doesn't work. I'll move the hosting to a private location, in order to have full control over this. Stay tuned for updates on this (although the application should start working by itself once I move the site).

- The Fileorganizer is not working as it should, and I'm working on this as we speak.
- www.next-episode.net has a cool new rss-feed that contains your watchlist and next airdates. I will implement a "Synchronize with next-episode" feature, and try to have the app automatically generate rules based on the shows you have in your watchlist.
www.next-episode.net is a fantastic site for all tv-fanatics :)


I'm sorry for the amount of time between posts, but we've just finished up a huge project at work, which has taken up a lot of time. I hope you accept my apology :)

Keep that feedback coming!

Show-list when creating a rule doesn't work

There seems to be an issue with the server that is hosting my service. This service is responsible for gathering information about shows. Unfortunatly, this returns an error, but I'm working on getting it resolved.

No action on your part will be necessary :)
