ChangeLog:

New in 73:

* Fixed a bug that caused an AttributeError exception on systems with old versions of Twisted.

New in 72:

* Daemonization support with -D switch.
* –shutdown command.
* Handle shows that air every day better.
* Logs into newzbin using your credentials. Look at the example configuration.
* Handle cases where the TVRage ID of a show changes.
* Logging is almost ready but not exposed yet.

Description:

floamtv.py is a robust Python application that automates downloading recurring television shows that are tracked by TVRage and uploaded to Usenet. It requires a membership with NewzBin, and works with hellanzb. It is licensed under the GPLv3.

It works with hellanzb, a smart Unix NNTP client that runs in the background and smartly fetches and processes usenet posts, fully extracting and processing things smartly. The end result is a directory that magically has the latest episodes of the shows you watch. It’s like Tivo, but a lot more of a pain to set up and of questionable legality depending on where you live. I only recommend subscribing television with licenses that allow free redistribution if you live in the United States.
