Introduction »

Media Rover is an automated TV download scheduler and catalogue maintainer.

It monitors your filesystem for watched TV series, scours various newsgroup indexing sources for missing episodes, and schedules them for download with your binary newsreader. Once on disk, Media Rover renames and sorts the file in the appropriate series directory.

Usage »

Usage instructions:

> python mediarover.py --help

Generate the default configuration and logging files:

> python mediarover.py write-configs

…you may also specify an alternate location for configuration/logging data:

> python mediarover.py write-configs -c /path/to/config/dir

Note: before running Media Rover, several required values in the configuration file will need to be set. Consult the wiki for a list of available options and a description of their use.

scheduler

Once configured, Media Rover can be invoked via the command line:

> python mediarover.py schedule

sorting

To manually sort a downloaded episode, run the following via the command line:

> python mediarover.py episode-sort /path/to/download/folder

To setup automatic sorting, SABnzbd must be configured to call Media Rover when it has finished processing a download. Consult the wiki for more detailed instructions.
