haarts / getme Goto Github PK

GetMe downloads your favourite TV shows in the easiest way possible.

Just run:

$ getme -a "Pioneer one"

And you're done!

GetMe allows you to:

1. Find shows
2. Download the appropriate torrents
3. Continue to follow the show

All from a simple CLI interface.

What GetMe doesn't do is actually download the files. That is the job of your Bittorrent client. Almost all clients support 'watch directories'. When a torrent shows up in that directory the client will process it.

Couldn't be simpler. No external dependancies, no hassle. Either grab on of the binaries or build from source.

Check out the releases.

You need to have Go installed. Then run:

$ go get github.com/haarts/getme

I've been using version 1.5 but I'm fairly certain every 1.x version of Go will work.

GetMe supports two modes. Adding shows/movies with -a. And updating them with, you guessed it, -u.

Usually you'd added a couple of shows and then periodically run (cron anyone?) with the update flag.

The first time that you run GetMe it will exit immediately because no config file could be found. GetMe will create one for you. This file contains ONE line with a simple key value pair. This pair will tell GetMe where the watch directory is of your favourite Torrent client. You really want to check if the directory is the correct one.

For more help (there isn't any but what the heck) run:

$ getme -h

The tools directory contains a Python 3 script to create a list of popular shows. This is used to present the user with the most relevant search results. As a regular user you don't need to use this file. A recent list of shows in compiled in the binaries.

There are two other binaries which I found useful at times.

pending will just query the database (aka a bunch of JSON files) and returns which seasons and episodes still appear pending.

crosscheck is a bit more complex. It will check for each episode in the database for which there should be a file on disk if that is the case. If that is wrong it either fixes the database or just outputs the offending episode. Please note that it can be perfectly normal for the database to have marked an episode as retrieved but it can not yet be found on disk. It might not have been moved yet or is still being downloaded.

GetMe uses Trakt and TvMaze for finding show information. It uses Kickass and TorrentCD for finding torrents.

There are, of course, tools which do what GetMe does. Internet is great like that. One notable example is FlexGet. This is a great tool with a great community. It has an endless list of features and options. Which is exactly why I wrote GetMe. I just wanted the job to get done without needing to care about all the nitty gritty details. If you really want everything in 1080p from a specific release group GetMe is not for you. If you just want the job done: $ ./getme -a 'Pioneer one'.
