Project Summary

hellaVCR is a PHP TV show downloader that integrates with hellanzb, sabnzbd+, or downloads raw NZB files. It uses TVRage to scrape TV show information, theTVDB for artwork, and Newzbin to figure out what to download. hellaVCR contains a command line PHP script to be run by the cron at regular intervals. It also contains a front end web interface to maintain your TV shows. Some advantages to hellaVCR over similar solutions already out there are its written in PHP, the front end interface looks awesome, it supports double episodes (i.e. x01-02), the ability to download an entire series from the start, email a summary of each batch, and tweeting each show as its queued.

Version: 0.7 (7/31/2009)

backup your tv.xml file before using this release!!! the download history rewrites part of the tv.xml, so be sure to have a backup if something goes wrong. make sure to add any new config values from the sample file into hellavcr.config.php
sabnzbd_apikey, hide_download_history

The latest and greatest hellaVCR code is now hosted on github. Since regular versions only come out every so often, this is the best place to test out the latest fixes as they are implemented.
