Thanks. Here's an idea for a feature. Create a list of all the TV series a user has in XBMC then query TVRage to see if they're still active. If true then automatically add those to watched shows in the plugin.

I've added this functionality. I'm going to make adding canceled shows a settings option and do some testing and tweaking and then I'll release the new version.

Neat...but I bet you've been working on that feature all along. Unless you add some other features I'm not sure what optioning canceled shows would provide. Perhaps a summary of episodes as in total episodes and total unwatched. The TVrage API does provide the series end date so maybe that could be displayed.

Nope. Just started when you requested it. That'll be $50

Currently when you select an episode you can view an episode list and episodes summaries of those episodes. Not everyone has all episodes in their library and may want to view this info. And as canceled shows are added to the bottom of the list, it doesn't interfere with it's main purpose.
Also I may, as you said, add other features. I've considered (among other things) adding a file renaming utility. So someone could, for instance, rename all their files with the episode name included. As an example, I have many files that are named in different formats with some having an episode name and some not.

btw, You did remind me that I should put the end date in the display.

Just messed with this script a bit and I love it! It was tough finding some shows (like two and a half men...I had to search two_and_a_half_men I think) but I figured it out. It is an excellent script. Thank you! I just wish I could get the updated one. Could you maybe post the zip file so we can install it instead of waiting for it to be updated on the repository?

I'd give you $50 if i had a job<grin>. My thoughts on the number of episodes/unwatched is so I could see that I have 4 episodes of "House" to watch and only one of "Bones" so I would give House my viewing priority...If the wife lets me. As for the file renamer..we already have tons of utilities that do it but none that hit anywhere near 100%. I just got done renaming 100 old episodes of Doctor Who all with names like
s02e02p1 Bla Bla Bla
s02e02P2 Bla Bla Bla

I used Thunar to bulk add Doctor Who to the beginning of the filenames but when s02e02p2 has to be converted to s02e06 it's a manual job by comparing the episode title to theTVDB series info. I haven't found any tools that add the s00e00 data based on the episode name especially in this case where there is already season/episode numbers....just the wrong ones. XBMC takes those numbers and makes it look like multiple copies of the same episode.

Glad you like it. Thanks for pointing out the two and a half men thing. I found that adding underscores was better for any search (even two_men_half was better) and made the script automatically add them. That's especially useful for auto adding from the XBMC library which will be in the next version.

I'll probably wrap up the next version tomorrow and I'll post a link to a zip for that one here as well as post it for the repository.

One other thing I noticed (that you may already be addressing) is that the times for me are off. Any chance of setting an offset somehow? For me it would be a -1 hour. Maybe you could put that in the settings somewhere? Like an offset time by and have the arrows to go up or down hours.
