RUTV is an automatic downloader for TV shows on Usenet.
RUTV is a powerful PHP based command line program that aims to be your ultimate solution for automatically downloading TV shows from Usenet. It's essentially a glue layer that connects a range of diverse programs and services in order to make everything work together seamlessly.
Before you get started with RUTV, you'll need a few things, including a valid Usenet account, a newzbin.com account, a myepisodes.com account, a functional and configured version of hellanzb, and a recent command line version of PHP with several modules compiled in, including CURL, PDO, XMLRPC, and DOM. While this setup process might seem daunting at first, it's well worth the effort, as RUTV is worry-free once it's up and running.
One of RUTV's most impressive features is its ability to log in to myepisodes.com and mark downloaded episodes as acquired. This eliminates the need to constantly monitor whether you've acquired a particular episode or not. Additionally, RUTV doesn't run free-text searches against newzbin.com, which should make the site's server admins happy.
In terms of usage, RUTV comes with a range of command-line options. These include options for help, version, debugging, matching local files to the wanted list, rebuilding the available list from RSS feeds, immediately retrying downloads not detected in the file system, flushing the list of wanted to available matches, skipping newzbin RSS feeds, as well as configuring the program by setting the config file location.
To use RUTV, you'll need to have both hellanzb and PHP 5 installed. Furthermore, RUTV's latest release comes with exciting new features, including added code that automatically retries downloads if the program fails to find evidence of a successful download.
Overall, RUTV is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful and flexible Usenet TV auto-downloader. Despite its somewhat daunting setup process, RUTV is a breeze to operate once up and running, providing you with an effortless way to access the latest TV shows from Usenet.
