Just released v0.61, refactored with klass.js and icanhaz.js to something much more manageable. Also now it finally shows the next airdates on your shows!

Last week I had a nice testcase where al the TPB mirrors were down, that allowed me to implement automatic alternate mirror search. With that, I think this tool is now just as resilient as TPB itself :)

I just built this this weekend after a conversation I had on friday with my dad. We were both complaining about the fact that it's still a hassle to get your updates for tv shows. Even though there's awesome apps for android like SeriesGuide, this still makes you do the whole download process manually. Some looking into the chrome extensions api and about 160 lines of javascript later the result already works and is…

I found an easier way to do this. For example, let's try Arrow. 1. Click the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/arrow-season-1/id56243... 2. Click "Buy Season Pass". 3. All the episodes will download automatically as soon as they're available! I didn't even have to build a web app for this.

And then you get the notification that you're not allowed to purchase this series :N

Think outside the box for people that only get access to these series after months or sometimes even years...
