What is rssBT?

Do you download TV Shows every week? Do you hate having to keep track of which new episode of what show came out which week? If you are like me, and watch several shows, the task of downloading each and every episode can become quite daunting. This is where rssBT comes in.

Naruto & Tsubasa now in rssBT!

We now have Naruto and Tsubasa Chronicle shows on rssBT. You can subscribe to these new shows in the Shows List page.

Why weren't these shows in rssBT from the beginning? Well these shows are released by a different group called Dattebayo (or DB). Since this site was only designed for eztv releases, there had to be some minor backend changes to the site to incorporate a different group's releases.

The naruto and tsubasa feeds are updated every wednesday night and throughout thrusday.

Enjoy!

Weekend Bug Fixes

I've fixed a lot of bugs. The most important of which needs to be announced.

The problem was that some shows which are released in both HDTV and HRHDTV formats, sometimes lacked HR HDTV releases for a few episodes. I don't know why the HR HDTV versions were skipped by the release groups, but it does tend to happen. This problem only affects you if you have selected "hr_hdtv" as your prefered resolution in your preferences.

To address this problem, I've added a wait time of 36 hours for hdtv fall back. This basically means that if a new HDTV episode is released, rssBT will wait for 36 hours after its release to see if a HR HDTV version comes out. If it does'nt it will go ahead and serve the HDTV version. If and when the HR HDTV version does come out, it will also be served.

Moved to a new server.

I have moved rssbt site to a newer and better server. I am still using a shared hosting environment, but the bandwidth and performance should be much better than my local machine through the local Road runner connection. Here's to hoping this I don't run over my bandwith quota for the site!

Along comes the Beta

Lots of things happening since last week, so I thought I'd give everyone an update.

What's New On the Site?

  • Tweaked site's CSS a bit, hope everyone likes it.
  • You can now subscribe to shows you like. (Currently there is no unsubscribe feature, but thats coming soon)
  • The show "detail" page is now accesible to all logged in users, and it lists all the episodes cached for that show.
  • Added Tab "RSS" which shows your customized RSS link. A lot of instructions ought to be on this page which will be coming soon.

What's New Behind the Scenes?

Registrations Open & Shows page

As you can see, I've turned on user registration. Go grab yourself an account now, if you haven't already done so.

A lot of groundwork for the new site has been layed out. So without further ado, I present to you the Shows listing page.
