Show HN: Recap Guide: Fully Automated TV Recaps Using SickRage, UTorrent, Ffmpeg

Just a couple of notes from author / me.

I watch a lot of TV shows and sometimes i had a following problem. When new season of my favorite TV show starts, i want to remember how last season ended in some fast way. Or sometimes i want to find that one funny episode and watch it again.

Therefore i decided to create service where i could see all episodes in 50 frames of thumbnails / recaps. So i did a research and find some useful tools to automate this process.

I setup SickBeard, which downloads newest episodes using uTorrent. Afterwards SickBeard post-processor notifies Django manage.py script, which calls ffmpeg and creates thumbnails and matches with subtitles. After processing is done script it deletes video file. Hosting on Hetzner, images on Amazon S3 (+Cloudfront). Hope you find this useful, the same as me! :)
