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.
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 fully support legal purchasing of media (and do not pirate any shows myself) but this is not really a good option due to the restrictive DRM and lack of support on Linux, Android, Google TV, etc.
Nice. I had the same problem of maintaing my tv shows so one weekend I decided to built something, only I made it as a website : http://www.entofly.com
Just released v0.61, refactored with klass.js and icanhaz.js to something much more manageable. Also now it finally shows the next airdates on your shows!
Last week I had a nice testcase where al the TPB mirrors were down, that allowed me to implement automatic alternate mirror search. With that, I think this tool is now just as resilient as TPB itself :)

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

V0.3 * Fixed some bugs in the layout and interaction when searching torrents
* Netbook support (list now scrolls properly on low height devices)
* ThePirateBay mirror is now configurable from the options page. Implemented automagic ThePirateBay Mirror Search using FuckTimKuik.org
* Added an option on settings page to search only for 720p torrents
* Implemented auto-update.
If you installed v0.2, You will have to do a manual update. (go to extra -> extensions -> remove the plugin, re-install it)
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.
Think outside the box for people that only get access to these series after months or sometimes even years...
and for the record, something like http://myepisodes.com with a new look would be AWESOME (not a mobile app)
edit: this rules thank you
