This script can be used to automatically download videos matching some criteria.
For each entry in the configuration file, the script :
- update backends
- install necessary backends
- check for new videos
- download the new videos
- Store the video in root_directory/entry_directory/video.name.avi
To avoid to download a video twice, all videos are stored in root_directory/.files/backend_name/video.id.avi. The contents of root_directory/entry_directory/ will be links to those file.
If kodi is asked then
- the video files will be prefixed with "S00E00 - "
- a file.nfo is generated along the video file
- a file tvshow.nfo is generated
- links are replaced by the actual video file (kodi doesn't like links)
- files in root_directory/.files/backend_name/ are empty files used to not download a video twice
