Since I posted my fix to get it working with SickRage, I've continued to work on it adding features. making some cosmetic changes, and fixing bugs. The most notable would be that I added show and episode lookups from theTVdb.com. I am soon going to post and share the addon with the changes I've made.
What is the protocol for forking someone else's project on here and reposting it? Do I seek permission from the original author, or is it basically free game? This will be my first xbmc addon project.
The pause/resume feature also depends on a fix I've offered to the SickRage project, as there is a bug in the webapi.py that hasn't been committed yet.
https://github.com/SiCKRAGETV/SickRage/pull/1947
Here is a list of the changes I've made so far.
- Expanded original work done by Zach Moore (v.1.0.10), and adapted for SickRage.
- Updated icon images for SickRage.
- Allow for manual entry for SickRage API Key value.
Original work did not run on SickRage due to the hackish scraping of the webpage to get the API Key.
On SickRage the API Key is on the second tab of the webpage, and not in the same screen location as SickBeard.
Added the API Key to the settings page solved this problem. UI's are always subject to change, and scraping the webpage is a point of failure.
- Allow for SSL login (https) sites when retreiving images.
- Fix URL for retreiving images from SickRage.
- Fixed "Manage Shows > Force Search" not working to become Force Show Update.
- Added the same context menu to the "Coming Episodes" show list as the "Manage Shows" list.
- Added "Paused" status text after show names for show "Pause/Resume" status.
- Added show posters to all lists.
- Added show and episode information lookups from theTVdb.com.
- Allow for escaping/exiting prompts without continuing.
- Updated 'Add New Show' to include "Any" selection and updated code.
- Added option to remove all files when deleting shows.
- Added text colour highlighting for quicker reading.
- Added "Continuing/Ended" status to show list.
- Added "Aired Date" to episode list.
- Changed "Manual Episode Search" to "Download Episode".
- Bug fixes.
