To try to solve corrupt torrent bug in the last version, I decided to stop using the scanfolder plugin, and use dcop calls instead. You can still get the script at http://tubbs.dyndns.org/files/getmyshows.py

The installation instructions have gotten simpler:
1 - Create a text file at ~/shows, with one show name per line, formatted as it would be on http://tvrss.net/shows/ (e.g. "The Daily Show").
2 - Place getmyshows.py somewhere in your PATH, and make it executable.
3 - Install the python feedparser module from http://feedparser.org, (or emerge dev-python/feedparser if you run gentoo).
4 - (Optional) Tweak the dstgrp, rlsgrp, quality, cutoffdays, or showfile variables if you know what you're doing. The defaults are probably best for most people.
5 - Schedule a cron job to run this program at the same time every day. See http://www.scottahearn.com/links_crontab.php if you don't know how to do this. You need to set the DISPLAY environment variable for the dcop calls to work, so your crontab entry should look something like '0 13 * * * DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/getmyshows.pl'
