Episodes

When the beta went out a couple of months ago what seemed to be the feature that most people were excited about downloading TV Series and episodes. 

The biggest issues were that it took about a day to build the private NZB database from Usenet and the setup for selecting a TV Series and episodes was both problematic and confusing. 

The reason for the confusion was trying to make it more general like being able to select any newsgroup to look for episodes, but then a user would need to know what newsgroup to select. 

Well those dark days are over. First the newsgroups that are used for used for searching are downloaded from the SpearNZB web site. This means that the initial day or more to setup the database should take a few minutes. 

Also integration with TheTVDB makes episode so much cleaner.

You simply add a series and select the episodes you would like to download. If an episode has not aired yet, then it will be downloaded after it does air.

If your a previous beta user, you should delete the database in your <UserDir>/newdb directory. 

The database will be built again fairly fast, but you will have to re-enter your RSS feeds. (Sorry)

I'll be posting better instructions and How To Videos as time permits.
