Aufero Progress

I'd like to say that there is no public download available. It's an application in development, but you might be pleased to hear that the backend is done and seems stable. What is left is the front-end (or user interface if you wish), and believe me when I say that it is a royal pain in the ass to write applications for VMC at this stage.

So give it a little time. I will post a request for mature alpha-testers in the not so distant future.

Oh, and I'd love feedback on what you'd want to see in Aufero (it doesn't matter if you post about something that is already implemented). Just reply below.

Desired features: As much support and integration for/with the Xbox360 Media Center Extender, including playback of non-WMV files. Sounds like you've got exactly this kind of thing going on, can't wait to check it out (waiting for my Dell Vista upgrade discs...).

You should come on to my Media Center Podcast to talk about it

im liking the support for existing libarys. is this automated or manual?
any change of usenet (newsgroups) support in the future?

It's too bad that this is developed solely for MCE/Vista MCE... Running it as a backend program with a cmd line access and xml output would open up your audience to a greater base... Meedio/SageTV/gbPVR/Media Portal... etc...

All of these would benefit from your development.

Just wanted to say that this is exactly what i've been looking for, fo r a long time, high waf-factor torrentdownloader! Great work man!

Features i think you should include is: manual editing of torrent trackers, aswell as private trackers with login.
Make sure that you can set max down/up speeds etc.
Have a nice "series" feature and separate series from movies so only have one "info"-page for every series an lots of episodes to choose between.

How long does it take them to ship those disks anyway? Dell must sit on huge piles of those.

Ian Dixon:
That sounds scary!

cja100:
The indexing of the library is automatic, it looks for shared folders on your network just like Media Center does.

anonymous2:
The backend was developed long before the frontend was written. So you might be pleased to hear that it's quite separated.

anonymous3:
Editing of monitored trackers is definitely in.

As for password-protected/private trackers, don't they all solve this in different ways? Not sure if there is a standard for authentication here? Point me in the right direction :)

As for series -- I haven't looked so much at that yet since that is a whole lot easier to work with than random movies. I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

Thanks :)

Regarding private trackers again :)
Almost every "good" private tracker uses a opensource php-tracker called Torrentbits sourceforge.net/projects/torrentbits
Forum @ http://www.tbdev.net/
Of course some of them have modified versions but still the same source.
Need example sites? ;)

maby you could use the rss-feeds many trackers have?

Will the software be able to separate music albums from movies and series and put them in the right directorys after downloading/unraring?

Perfect!

I'm a 360 Extender user - with Vista Home Premium at home and Ultimate on my laptop. I have a penchant for BSG torrents as I live in the TV backwater called Australia. Xvid on the Xbox is high on my want list too!

I'd love to help out. Let me know if there is anything I can do!
