Automating TV scraping - zerocool_ie - 2013-06-30

hi all,

I am currently using an AutoHotkey script on an always-on-PC to launch Ember and send left clicks to X,Y co-ordinates on screen, but it's not very stable.

What automation you are guys using for TV show scraping?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions Smile

I actually use SickBeard for all my TV show download/post-processing needs. It works great, with the exception of not giving you any choices when it comes to posters/fanart, which is where Ember comes in handsomely. But all in all I only need to fire up Ember for TV shows maybe once a week or less. SickBeard will download episode thumbs and nfo's with no issues I have come upon yet.
