Mostly because it had the configuration options I wanted. A torrent clientįor this I use Transmission. If you’re adverse to spending money willy-nilly, you could probably go with something like µTorrent, which covers downloads of torrents via RSS and is also a torrent client.

But for those of you who don’t have access to TVTorrents or the like, it has TV subscriptions baked right in, like chocolate chips in a delicious cookie.

You could download your torrents all manually, but where’s the fun in that? For this I use Automatic by Coding Curious, which admittedly costs US$20.
I’ll explain how I do this a little later.īefore anyone asks: no, I cannot provide you with an invite to TVTorrents. One of the features of this tracker is it’s RSS Feeds, which you can customise to your needs. A place to download torrentsįor my TV related torrents, I use TVTorrents, which is a private tracker. There’s room for that, this list assumes we’re starting from scratch. You may even have a setup that automatically downloads your torrents for you. You may or may not have some of the things below. It takes care of detecting the completed downloads, converting (with better handling of compatible video types) and loading into iTunes. UPDATED (): If you’re still using this method, and haven’t updated to use iFlicks 2 in place of my applescript, then shame on you. UPDATED (): I’ve made some additions to AutoConvert.scpt that help to get things processed faster (because iFlicks can run more often) and to help ensure that files are not processed more often than they should be.
This new version creates a log file to capture Handbrake output, which is deleted once the conversion is done, and can be used to determine the progress. UPDATED (): I’ve moved the hosting of the AutoConvert.scpt file over to Gist. If you’re a Mac user and you download your TV or whatever, follow this simple guide (that has some not so simple steps, but don’t worry, I’ll explain them). So I turned to Google and over the course of an evening or so, I put together this handy little system that takes my shows from the intertoobs and feeds them directly into my Apple TV without me having to do anything manually. My first thought was to write my own app (since that’s the cool thing to do), but with little time, that didn’t seem feasible. But when I decided to bring my manager over to my Mac Mini, I decided to put together a new system. Up until this weekend, I’ve maintained a download/conversion managing system cobbled together with PHP, chewing gum and a paperclip.
