fantaxp7 191 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I have used both supernews and newshosting. Both are good, I just flip flopped because of pricing. 1
Mfusick 38 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 What do you guys use for subscriptions or automated downloading ? MCM has a new project going for indexing and automated downloads of missing episodes etc... I saw on their facebook I think.

snazy2000 344 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ive never understood Usenet could somone explain to me? why is it better than torrenting for example?
fantaxp7 191 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ive never understood Usenet could somone explain to me? why is it better than torrenting for example? This is a pretty lengthy how-to if you were interested: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=120406 I just have always felt it to be a safer option. Though these days with VPN torrenting doesn't seem as dangerous...
Koleckai Silvestri 1154 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Ive never understood Usenet could somone explain to me? why is it better than torrenting for example? I just use Usenet because it is easier for me. However I've been using it since I got my first 300 baud modem in 1983. 1
Luke 42077 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It looks fantastic. Only questions are reliability of finding content as that's really the most important function. Also, how good is it at finding quality upgrades for existing content. I too will carve out some time to play with it, when i can.

Do you mean download new shows,if so you are getting into a pretty grey area here,which I thought was not the way that the MB project was going to go.
im85288 1493 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Just my 2 cents here, I think CouchPotato integration is far more useful. In fact in the XBMB3C addon I added that to trailers so that you can view a trailer and then send that movie to counchpotato...I also did the same for my roku client when viewing trailers. 1

No, cos it could be used when you rip a dvd etc. You could dump the ripped files into the Auto-Organize folder.

sfnetwork 514 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 To get back to original subject, NZBDrone is doing an excellent job so far and it WILL replace SB in my environment... The failed download handling really works well; it's the first time in a while I was able to grab old episodes successfully without dealing manually with the failed ones, etc... Not super fun when first importing existing TV shows (need to add them one by one as far as I saw) and unclear about what "Wanted" section with the "missing" and "cutoff unmet" tab and how to manage those... I ll read up a bit. Also, missing a lot of sorting options... BTW I fully agree that MB should have plugins for SABNZBD, SB, CP and NZBDrone

That's one thing that SB wins over ND. I'm not totally sure about the WANTED page either, but it doesn't seem to cause any issues. If you find out, please let us know. The NzbDrone WiKi is here.

fantaxp7 191 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Does renaming and placing of movies work well?
Abobader 3464 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Good day CBers, It fine to be at public forum, so others can share more idea and work around and it never been a secret (personal view). My best
sfnetwork 514 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Does renaming and placing of movies work well? no, TV only (like SB basically) Need CP for that Edited June 25, 2014 by sfnetwork
Beardyname 198 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 NzbDone might be an alternative when they are more feature complete, the shit state SickRage is in now (fork of SickBeard) I might consider moving to this.
