Hi,
Recently created a C# console application, what it does:
1. Downloads recent HD and/or Highres apple trailers via the apple rss feed.
2. Makes folders with the movie title as the name
3. Downloads the movie posters and renames them to folder.jpg(for use in mediaportal en windows explorer)
4. Checks if you already have the trailer, not perfect atm but checks if the folder and file exists
5. Uses the tasksheduler library(CodeProject: A New Task Scheduler Class Library for .NET. Free source code and programming help) which was created by Dennis Austin.
This allows for the task scheduling feature.
To do list:
Cleanup managment <- set max trailer folder size and how long to keep the "old" trailers
MPI installer to make it a seamless install
Preview with poster
Download link:
*Version 0.065 - updated 20-09-08*
File-Upload.net - Apple-Downloader-v0.065.zip
Changes in this version:
1. Solved crashes when a webclient or local file had / in their name.
How to the install standalone program:
1. Unpack the zip and copy the contents of the "Standalone" to a seperate folder where you want to run it ( for instance C:\program files\apple trailer downloader\)
2. Use Apple_downloader_config.exe to setup your settings
3. Here you will need to set the default downloads directory and which version to download(hd/highres)
4. Run Apple_downloader.exe and it will download the latests trailers.
How to install mediaportal plugin:
1. Unpack the zip and copy the contents of the "mediaportal plugin" folder to your plugins/windows folder -> by default "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\Windows\"
2. Start mediaportal configuration and navigate to the plugins section
3. Select the "Apple trailer downloader" and press config, this the same gui config as the standalone config.
4. Here you will need to set the default downloads directory and which version to download(hd/highres)
5. Next you can add it to the scheduler and set the wanted time to run it(weekly/daily also),
