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 awesome :)

I really love it. Just one minor suggestion, when the list of episodes requires a scroll (eg. Castle), the back and remove from favorites button should still be present at he bottom without a need to scroll.

Excellent work! If you feel like adding an extra feature, I would love a link to the 720p version of each episode.

Already popped into my mind. Good suggestion!

Why does the an episode show a magnet even if its not availabe on pirateshit.com ? http://i.imgur.com/0CLIK.png

Edit: I mean like S07E07. Great idea for a plugin though - I love it.

You might want to look into using something like TVTorrents and a an RSS feed with your favorite shows..

Thanks!

Currently there's no logic there yet. It's just a search that happens when you click the link. It automatically assumes that series aired today are available on tpb already, so it shows the magnet links there. That'll all change when i add the automatic monitoring and launching :)

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.
