Hydraulic is a simple windows tool that will create .strm files that can be used in conjunction with Pneumatic addon.
These .strm files can then be scanned into your xbmc library. For those not familiar Pneumatic allows streaming content from newsgroups/usenet.
There is a gui and command line versions, I've also included my shows.csv file to get you started. If you would like to start fresh with no shows pre-populated, just delete the shows.csv file and use the gui to build your own list.
I've created the command line version so it could be included as a startup script or scheduled task to update what shows are available.
Hydraulic will first search for a high definition source, if not found it will then match against any quality of source.
Shows that are off the air or unlikely to see a new release, or that you just don't want to scrub for each time can be removed from your show list after the initial scrub.
requires a newznab site such as nzb.su
will use atleast 2 api hits for each show added. Since newznab sites only respond with 100 results at a time, shows with a large number of releases avaiable will use additional api hits to gather those additional releases.
I've included the source code in the release (it's in c# 2008)
