PPWeb
PPWeb is a complete web based newsreader built around NZBGet and NzbgetWeb. PPWeb allows you to browse, track, manage and fully automate newsgroup downloads. PPWeb can automatically check for new nzb's matching TV show and movie watch list entries, download and queue any matching nzb's to categories, download the nzb contents, extract and repair any archives, move wanted files to desired locations and delete any unwanted files. Nzb's from supported sites can also be queued with a single click from local browse and search result pages. All categories at all supported nzb sites can be browsed and searched. TV and video browse pages are updated automatically when PPWeb checks for new nzb's at scheduled intervals. PPWeb currently supports NzbMatrix, NzbsRus, Nzbs.org, NZBSerien and Binsearch.
PPWeb is designed to be setup, configured and maintained using the web interface. PPWeb includes a slightly modified NzbgetWeb and is preconfigured to be self-contained and as easy to get going with as possible. PPWeb is written in Perl and should work on any *nix system.
Requirements:
NZBGet binary
PHP (php/php-cgi pkg)
CGI.pm (perl-cgi pkg)
LWP::UserAgent (perl-libwww pkg)
Crypt::SSLeay (perl-ssleay pkg) Binsearch and NzbsRus
gunzip (unzip pkg) Binsearch only
unzip (unzip pkg)
unrar (rarlinux/unrar-free pkg)
par2 (par2cmdline/par2 pkg)
svn (svn/subversion pkg) Auto update only
avimerge (transcode pkg) Optional CD joining

Download
If you can use Subversion (svn) for the download, updating your install can be done with a single click. To do a Subversion install, do a svn checkout to the desired DocumentRoot or host sub-directory.
svn checkout http://davelers.com/svn/ppweb/trunk /your/desired/directory
You can also install PPWeb by downloading a tarball of the latest revision from the svn web interface.
See the README.1st file for initial setup instructions (also in the parent directory). I highly recommend that you follow the readme and leave the default settings alone until you have PPWeb working. PPWeb is self contained and trying to adapt it to an existing nzbget setup before you have it up and running is asking for trouble. Let PPWeb configure and set itself up first.
To update an svn install to the latest version, just click the "u" link in the "PPWeb (u)" menu heading.
To update a manual install, download the latest revision and manually replace all or changed files before clicking the "u".
If you have problems or questions please post them to the Questions topic in the How-to category.

NzbgetPP
Nzbget Pre and Post processing functions (nzbgetpp.pl).
NzbProcess (...currently handled by wfnzb.cgi)
Extracts archived nzb's and autoqueues all nzb's
Timestamps of nzb's extracted from archives are made current (so they autoqueue)
Can autorename nzb's, i.e.the download directory name (and extracted files if so configured)
Can create custom sized sample nzb's (2-9 rars)
Can autoedit nzbs - customized removal of unwanted files (e.g. samples :-)
PostProcess
Extracts single and multiple collection downloads (including nested subs)
Collections can be downloaded on one machine and autoextracted on another machine
Can extract archives that fail par check (missing subs, sample or non rar files)
Can do par check, fetch (only what's needed) and repair (requires nzbget >= 0.4.1-r184)
Extracted files can be saved to custom directories (e.g. Movies, TV, etc.)
Optional Nzb name and TV show name subdirectories (e.g. TV/Show)
Files can be autorenamed to 'movie title cd.ext', 'show title ep.ext' and 'nn - song.ext'
Optional episode title lookups (e.g. Show nnn - title.avi)
Can save or delete rars, pars and other customized file extensions

Change Log
Changes are now in the svn log.
12-Jun-2009
Added optional status.log and NzbgetWeb PP status block

10-Jun-2009

When Show sNN is added to Db, any matching 'Show nnn' listings/nfos are deleted
Changed how nested rars are handled to prevent potential same name overwriting
31-May-2009

Reformatted configuration file can be edited from NZBGetWeb
Download db is now category/nzb based (was ext/file based)

Added joined split avi detection and split avi joining functions
Improved PPWeb par check/repair of multiple collection nzb's
Improved auto renaming for unlabeled episode and multiple collection nzb's
Hold directory name edits no longer require $Rename = 1;

Script path/name hardcoding removed (again)
Lots of text implying "nzbget" directory-name hardcoding changed to $NZBGet
Manually entering the script URL (no args) no longer returns a 500 error
7/23/08 - 2: Fixed 'nfo filename in title' sampling bug.
7/23/08: Fixed a couple of hold/sample directory issues. Added a hold directory rename function.
7/21/08: Numerous tweaks, fixes and improvements. The most notable addition to the web interface is the ability to save/download all nzbs (zipped or not) to the nzbget/hold directory (new location, see upgrade.txt). Nzbs in the hold directory can be queued whenever you want and files with the extensions you specify can be saved to any directory you want. The later can be done without the web interface if you're using nzbget-0.5.0-testing (see categories.txt).
With nzbget-0.5.0-testing, you no longer need to use the web interface "Queue" link when saving nzbs to nzbget/nzb subdirectories (zips still require hitting the Queue link unless you upload them with PPWeb) .
With nzbgetweb-1.1-testing you can also save all your nzbs to the root (or any) nzb directory and move them to $Subdir categories using the web interface. Use the same names for $categories (settings.php) as you use for $Subdir (see categories.txt).
This release was a bit rushed because NZBGet 0.5.0 busts PPWeb 6/29 hold/sampling functions.
6/29/08: Fixed issues with running the script as an independent post processor (sans nzbgetweb). Web links are now relative (index.php mod is now cut and paste) and the script no longer needs to be in /ppweb. All logs are now in /ppweb/logs (see upgrade.txt). Added more info to the README.
