I’ve rereleased this update as 0.4.7 due to compiling issues that prevented TVShows from running on anything but Snow Leopard.

I’m afraid there was a major bug which slipped into 0.4.5 that would prevent anyone from downloading torrents. Pleas e be sure to upgrade as soon as possible so that you’ll be able to download torrents once EZTV is back online.

Note: The Daily Show and Colbert Report will still have issues downloading due to changes in the ezRSS website. I’m working on the issue but there’s no quick fix except for ezRSS reverting to the old format of how the shows are listed.

Over two months ago today I introduced the last version of TVShow. So it is with great pleasure that today I’m releasing a long overdue update, TVShows v0.4.4. Unfortunately because of finals I’ve had to push back a few new features and bug fixes I’ve planned, but hopefully winter break will give me a chance to catch back up.

Edit: The ezRSS website is now loading correctly. All is well in the land of TV torrents.

Unfortunately it looks like the ezRSS and ezTV websites are having some DNS issues right now. Until those are fixed you won’t be able to download new episodes or a new show list.

Just sit tight and the problems should be resolved shortly. As always, TVShows will catch you back up on any torrents you’ve missed during this minor mishap.

Edit: As of commit 4019c24 there are now 1162 blocked shows.

At the end of the day, over 1079 “shows” have been removed from the TVShows show list including: misnamed shows, canceled shows, non-shows, and specials.

Earlier this morning I released TVShows 0.4.3. I’m hoping that this release will iron out most of the existing bugs so that I can start focusing on new features, the interface, etc. You may have even noticed some of these changes already slipping into updates.

While I wasn’t *quite* ready to release a new update, it looks like ezrss had other plans. Earlier this week they changed a few things on their server that caused TVShows to fail when trying to download the show list. A simple fix, but certainly a big pain to anyone who happened to get this error.

On the bright side, you get some new toolbar icons and a different colored background for subscribed shows. I’m still looking into a complete UI refresh, so try not to get too attached.

About 4 days ago it was brought to my attention that Fringe S2E2 wasn’t downloading for some users. In fact, it wasn’t even downloading for myself. After hunting around for a bit and not finding any errors in the log file I finally realized what the culprit was.

Since the original developer has gone missing for over 2 years, I took it upon myself to update the TVShows app. I can’t promise I’ll be adding any new features (though there are a few I’m considering) but I will attempt to make sure that TVShows keeps working as long as the websites that power it are still online.
