www.dailytvtorrents.org support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi guys

Firstly thanks for one of the best droid apps ever, easily this falls in my TOP 
5 most used and most showed off apps of all time.

ezrss.it is continually failing, sometimes for weeks due to lighttpd always 
being hammered no doubt.

Could someone please explore the possibility of supporting east importing of 
the http://www.dailytvtorrents.org feeds?
... I've not used them for long but these folks seem to provide very stable rss 
feeds.

Surely its something as simple as parsing the index of shows and providing a 
few tick boxes to choose prefered or desired quality:

EG: http://www.dailytvtorrents.org/rss/show/breaking-bad?prefer=hd

All the best

Seems very reasonable. Shows can be search using the API, something like 
http://api.dailytvtorrents.org/1.0/shows.search?query=parks
With the show code the RSS feed can be used directly, for example 
http://www.dailytvtorrents.org/rss/show/dexter where the screen can show some 
options to the user like onlynew=yes/no, only=720/hd, minage=# and 
prefer=720/hd&wait=#

As a note lest anyone more java? capable than I picks this up, DTT has just 
adopted a 3MiB daily cap on RSS feeds.

I have a personal shell script which checks for new episodes hourly on dozens 
of shows.
By checking the headers on the feeds ("Last-Modified" ) its really quick and 
bandwidth friendly so this could come in handy with checking their RSS feeds.

NB: Who can I bribe to work on at least getting transdroid to be able to read 
their atom rss ;)

You'll have to bribe me, as I am very bribe-able. :) Yes, I like to get this 
feature in as soon as realistically possible. Any help in the form of existing 
scripts is of course welcome.

OK I use something a little like this: http://pastie.org/5097605
not elegent but it works

I was pulling the whole rss and picking that way but the api is quite good and 
fast.

It uses their API rather as its faster than pulling full RSS feeds for each 
show.
The downside is there is a limit of 200 pulls per day (though with a mobile and 
your shifting IP address maybe this won't get reached)

...also I noticed that if pulling frequently (like every hour) you can 
sometimes pull the first torrent uploaded.. Not a problem unless its just the 
first torrent dtv listed.. often the subsequent ones on their lists turn out to 
be the popular ones and you'll end up with a torrent with very low or no seeds 
at all and end up having to pull it manually later

It might be best to make it just give the summary of the torrents allowed so 
people can pick their torrent (or an option to auto pull the highest seeded 
one) from data collected: here: 
http://www.dailytvtorrents.org/episode/alphas-s02e12/
(the automated function to select from  "our pick for XX")

Wish I could help but I don't know even the basics of java :(
