Upon running the Headphones. You can choose whatever you like, but I opted for Headphones is very feature rich and comprehensive, but you only need to configure a few settings to get started.
Click the cog icon up top and set up the following sections:. Once you've finished configuring Headphones, just search for the band you want to track using the toolbar up top. When you find what you want, add the band to your watch list and Headphones will track them. Repeat this process for all the bands you like. You don't have to stop with television, movies, and music. A few other downloaders are at your disposal:. If that list doesn't cover everything you need, FlexGet provides a way to make your own, custom downloaders.
All you're required to do is install it, tell it where to look, what to look for, and what to do with the files it finds. The installation process varies, so follow the instructions for your operating system.
Install Python if you haven't already. Yes, you really just need to run that and OS X will know what to do. Here's an example:. Paste the following into the file or just download this :. FlexGet isn't useful unless you give it something to do. The app works with specific tasks written in YAML , which is a very simple, human-readable data format.
The first line says "test task:" to identify that this is a task called "test. In the case of "Another Good Show," you'll notice that "quality: p" is designated to tell FlexGet to only look for p files for that show. Finally, a download directory on the local machine is specified. The format is pretty simple to follow, but it will vary based on what you want to create.
We can't get into every little option without writing an entire manual, and the creators of FlexGet already made one. Be sure to consult those configuration instructions for more help on creating your own config. Here's how to set them up. Note: This tutorial is going to mention Usenet. We're aware that a lot of you have a problem with that. We've discussed this issue before see "Regarding the First Rule and Other Issues" so we're not going to discuss it here.
BitTorrent and Usenet are tools that allow you to download files easily. Some of those files are TV shows and they're not necessarily legal to download. What you choose to download with the software described in this tutorial is entirely up to you. You accept responsibility for your actions if you choose to download content you are not legally authorized to download. We're going to provide you with the information necessary to set up and use the described software, but your ethical and legal decisions will be left up to you.
With all of that out of the way, you need to choose what you want to use. First we're going to take a look at setting up a PVR using BitTorrent and then we're going to look at doing the same thing with Usenet. If you prefer Usenet to BitTorrent, jump down to the Usenet section below. Setting up a PVR with BitTorrent is incredibly simple, primarily because there are RSS feeds online that update with new episodes for a given show so you can easily obtain torrent files for the latest episodes.
While many BitTorrent clients have RSS feed support, we're going to look at using separate applications that intelligently read these feeds to make the downloading process even easier. If you're running Windows or Linux, you can use a neat little application called TED to schedule your show downloads. You can also use TED on a Mac, so you can use these instructions to set up TED on your Mac as well although we're going to look at a different application for Mac in just a bit.
First, download and install TED. Once you're all set, open it up and you should see a screen similar to the one pictured on the left. To get started, cick the "Add Show" button up top and you'll be presented with a new panel containing a large list of shows.
Find the one you want by browsing or search, then click on it. You'll be given information about the show as well as a few options. Select which episode you want to start with, whether or not you want to watch it in HD, and click the "Add" button. Once you do that, just repeat for all the shows you want to add and wait until they download.
TED will let you know when the next air date is for each episode and will check for new episodes every 60 minutes which you can change in TED's settings. When TED finds a new episode, it will download a torrent file to your computer and open it in your default BitTorrent client. That's it, you're all set! For that reason, we're going to look at TVShows as it's Mac-only and very simple to use. If you'd like the additional features that TED provides, check out the Windows section above.
The instructions will work just the same for Mac. To get started, first download TVShows and open it. If you have yet to install one, it will recommend Transmission and help you download it. All that you really need to do to get it working at this point is start adding shows. To do that, scroll through the list or search it and click the "Subscribe" button. This will tell TVShows to watch for new episodes and download them as soon as they're available.
When it finds a new episode, it will download a torrent file and open it in your default BitTorrent client. Your BitTorrent client will then download that episode and it will be waiting for you on your computer without any effort on your part. While that's all you really need to do, TVShows also has some useful options. If you head into the preferences panel, you can set how often it checks for shows and also set the quality of the file. If you prefer HD, a p option is available.
If you want to add a second folder e. Now, we need to mount all partitions that are in your fstab file. Execute the following sudo mount -a If this process is successfull then you should see nothing but a new empty line. Several people with a Raspberry Pi Model 2 encountered a problem at this step. What helped most of them was to execute the following:.
Now, repeat the sudo mount -a command. Now, you should have a working Raspberry Pi which is connected to your media server. All downloaded media will be automatically moved onto the NAS and can be easily watched on your TV and other connected devices.
The last thing you need to do is to install the applications that will take care of checking for new shows, downloading them to your Raspberry Pi and moving them to your media server.
The great thing about Sonarr is its nice and clean user interface and features such as a episode calendar. NZBGet is a robust and lightweight Usenet downloader which, as the name already says, is responsible for downloading the episodes that Sonarr finds. Although NZBGet and Sonarr are two separate programs, they are connected and communicate with each other. Below is a basic example of how they work together:.
Free services are less reliable when it comes to that. Most paid indexers are invite-only platforms, so it might take a little bit of work to get an invite. Should you run into problems feel free to ask for help in the comments or check the Usenet subreddit for answers.
I hope you were able to set everything up without any major issues. One more thing: As already mentioned in the first part of this guide, Usenet can be used to download copyrighted material.
