[RELEASE] TVRage-Eps (Script) TV Show Episode Notifier and Browser Addon

Well my first that wasn't a plugin. I wrote a flickr image plugin before this. I also wrote a script once years ago when XBMC was just on the XBox, but a lot has changed since then and I forgot most of what I did anyway. I've done lot's of programming with python though.

Search and save a list of your favorite shows to be automatically updated and sorted by what's on next and highlighted for what's on today and tomorrow. Shows next and previous episode details. Select a show to browse an episode list.

I use this script to quickly check what's on tonight and what's upcoming.

Let me know of any problems or suggestions. Enjoy!

It looks like a great start to your Sickbeard Addon!

Episode summaries in the next version, as per request

How about a button on the main screen that says "Add Series"?

Great script. Very useful. Would be nice if it auto updated in the background.

Request to sort episodes in reverse order. Now it orders the episodes from oldest to newest.

Just to be clear currently it sorts from closest date at the top to furthest date at bottom and focuses first on the top show. Do you want just to sort from furthest at top to closest at bottom or to totally reverse the 'orientation' and also have it focus on the bottom show by default?

I think so too. Maybe I'll get around to it. Personally I'd like it to start something like a service in the background when XBMC starts and update the data at intervals. That will probably take more coding time than the script did. One easier thing I could do is make it update in a separate thread when you start it so you can view and browse right away. I'm not sure which you meant but anyway it's on my mind to do.

I was trying to keep the interface clean and keep navigation simple. If I may ask, why do you want one? It occurs to me that someone using a mouse might like one.

I put episodes summaries in v0.9.1 but realized it was missing a file after I submitted it. I submitted v0.9.2 with the file, but summaries won't show up when you click an episode until v0.9.2 posts and you upgrade.

Just a heads up to anyone.

From a new user prospective...I got to the main screen and it took a while to realize that I had to press C on my keyboard to get the context menu. I usually use the right mouse button but on your screen it made the script close. I use both a MCE remote and a wireless keyboard with built in mouse.

I just tried with a mouse and it seems that when you right click on the list it brings up the context menu, but if click anywhere else on the window or off the window it closes.

I think I will try to make it so that the context menu will open as normal when clicking on the list with the mouse, show only the 'Search/Add' option when you click off the list on the window, and add an 'Add Show' button at the top.

Thanks for pointing that out
