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 :)

Download

Download, and a small reminder! Developing this kind of application takes time:

NZBFeeder v2.5b (Build 42016)

NZBFeeder Build 2.5.0.42016

Here's a new updated build for you!
What's fixed in this one:

- Taken care of the duplicate download issue
- Enabled the last 5 downloads to be displayed in the stats-section (full list and more info will be available in next build)
- Rewrote parts of the organizer engine, since it had a tendency to delete nfo-files and such a little too soon. It will also now organize multiple files in a folder based on the filename as well as single files based on the folder-name if the folder only contains one single file.
- Added two new variables when playing with filenames in the organizer: %EPISODE2% and %SEASON2%. These will force season and episodes to be two-digit no matter what the filename is.
- A new setting is now available in the settings-tab. "Remember downloads for".. This is simply to keep the config-file to grow into infinity :)


If you want to keep the old settings (rules etc will not be affected by re-install), just to a search for your current build (e.g. 2.5.0.33344) on your systemdrive. This will show you a folder containing a user.config file. Copy this file, and after installing the new version, do a new search for 2.5.0.42016 (which is the new build), and overwrite the user.config inside that folder.
This will be easier in later versions, I promise but this is still beta :)

Now go enjoy your tv-shows! :)

Feedback and Bugs

Thank you all for your feedback so far! There seems to be a couple of bugs (let me know if I'm missing something):

- Problems moving the NZB-file from temporary folder to actual download-folder
- It has some problems remembering previous downloads, and re-downloads shows/files
- The fileorganizer will sometimes delete the "Ignore these files" even if the folder contains rar-files and so on.
- Automatic startup with windows doesn't work

Feature-requests:
- Instead of simply downloading the nzb-file, option to open the file with the systemdefault nzb-application
- More information about previously downloaded files (this has actually been in the pipeline, so it's on its way :))

I'm currently working on releasing an updated version which takes care of the most critical bugs. Let me know in the meantime if I've left out anything in this post.
