        What about a function to filter out shows where you have seen all episodes. This way you could keep your list short, but still have shows to reappear when new episodes/seasons were prodused. This would be a great way to keep track of favorite shows between seasons.

      • IceBeam

        Some design requests:

        If we go to the “upcoming” view, there are two “columns headers” at the top of the screen, called “upcoming” and “recent” – the current one is highlighted.

        I would like to see a different kind of indication, one that isn’t quite so bright – when I look at it in a darkened room I’m almost blinded (Ok perhaps not quite, but you get the point)

        This also applies when you go into look at the description of an individual episode, the ‘share’ button is really bright.

        I would like to wish for an option to not sort on “The”. ie – The Big Bang Theory would sort on B not T. It should probably be selectable because some people may want it to sort the other way.

        The good thing about a wishlist is that you can throw ideas out there and realistically know that the idea may never get applied. But at least it’s being heard.

        There are 2 nomenclatures commonly used for expressing a show.

        1) S01E12 – Season 1 / Episode 12

        2) 3×14 – Season 3 / Episode 14

        I’m partial to the first nomenclature. You might ask yourself, does it really matter? Well if the application didn’t post to Twitter, FB, other other apps (hopefully GetGlue in the future) it probably would not be a big deal. But it does and I really wish it was the other way in the application.

        It would be cool if you could customize the message that went out a little. Maybe have variables to represent different things.

        $S = Season Number
        $E = Episode Number
        $N = Show Name
        $n = Episode Name
        $h = SeriesGuide Hashtag

        Plus maybe a variable that coverts the show name into a hashtag like GetGlue does.

        Just wishin’. :)

      • Chris

        Would be great if you could add a personal rating to each episode.

      • IceBeam

        You also changed the colors, looks great now :)

      • Abc

        a possibility to check all season, so they are marked as watched already, not only season wise, but all seasons at once…

        4×4 widget :)

      • Tedge

        Three things…
        1) extend the recently aired portion further…maybe infinitely…I am in iraq, sometimes I don’t get to keep up with series easily.
        2) add another checkbox for recorded or downloaded…as stated above, not always up to date with series, sometimes I don’t know which ones I have, let alone what I have seen
        3) touching a series should enter the current season…prefferably current episode…check out tv show tracker on ipod…they have that part right

        P.S. a bit of color and eye candy in the series view would not hurt…maybe even a selectable background color

        Thanks for your input. Hope everything’s working out for you!
        To 1: try disabling the “Only future episodes” setting and then use the main
        show list. This is exactly what SG was build for in the beginning.

        The idea with the downloaded/recorded checkbox (2) is truly interesting.
        However ‘just’ adding another checkbox seems odd, maybe an optional
        multi-state-checkbox or something like that.
        For 3) I’m not sure. For upcoming episodes you can get to the episode
        information quickly via ‘Upcoming’ right now. Am thinking about this. Maybe
        the whole way the data is structured needs to be thrown over…

        And to end with, sorry for the late answer and yes, a design overwhole is
        also needed desperateley.

        Is there a possibility to add a function to show all the unwatched episodes?

        P.S. awesome Job on the fullscreen preview widget :)

      • FelixR

        I’d love to see the integration of trakt.tv in some way. There is a documented API available and the platform is gaining popularity pretty fast these days. Maybe this could also provide data for the already listed todo ‘Option to discover top or high rated shows’.

      • Anonymous

        Yeah, I really like the site’s functionality, too. I’m looking into it.
        Meanwhile anyone has a functional API or knows how to get built .jar’s from
        https://github.com/JakeWharton/trakt-java?

        Hi,

        it would be nice to get the german showtimes of the series too. There are a few pages that list the next showtimes. Here are a few examples for the show “Bones”.
        http://www.serienjunkies.de/Bones/
        http://www.tvprogramm24.com/tv-sendungen/bones-die_knochenjaegerin.html
        http://www.wunschliste.de/1950
        http://www.fernsehserien.de/index.php?serie=1950&seite=8
        http://www.tv-kult.de/index.php?tvdbid=1950&m=SB&title=Bones+-+Die+Knochenj%E4gerin

        I’m sure there are enough pepole out there that will help you translating the webpages. Or did you get the showtimes from thetvdb.com only?

        To implement that you should group or bind sourcewebpages and tvstations to countries in lists. May be like this
        webpages
        ——–
        country
        ——-
        USA http://www.thetvdb.com
        http://www.trakt.tv
        …

        Germany http://www.serienjunkies.de
        http://www.tvprogramm24.com
        …

        tvstations
        ———-
        country
        ——-
        USA FOX
        CBS
        …
        Germany RTL
        SAT1
        …

        So everyone can filter out his desired showtimes.

        In theory this is a nice idea, but as of now SeriesGuide only uses data from
        thetvdb.com.
        For the sites you are suggesting: do you know if any of them allow usage of
        their databases free of charge by third-parties? And most important, an API
        would be required to get to that data…
        If you suggest I should create my own database based on all this information
        (if it is allowed) I have to say I cannot afford hosting this on my own
        (especially as SeriesGuide is free of charge).

        I actually had a very similar idea as 2), but with a few more options:

        1) One press on the checkbox would turn it green with the text “Watched already”, just like it works today.
        2) A second press would turn it red with the text ” Not yet watched”, meaning I haven’t yet seen this episode, but please stop reminding me. This would be usefull in areas where the show airs months after the original airtime.
        3) A third press would turn it white with the text “Recorded”. This should probably be accompanied with a search option, so that during a night with nothing on tv, you can find something you have recorded.
        4) A fourth press would turn it black or mayby blue with the text “Do not watch”. This is for unaired pilots, season recaps and other special episodes you have no intention of watching.
        5) A fifth press would turn it blank with the text “Not yet watched”, so that it again will show in the list of unwatched episodes.

        The colors and text may have to be different, the main thing is that they have a clear contrast to each other, so that you have no doubt what they are and mean.

        Have a per show setting to use the dvd order for the next show on the summary screen. Especially good for rewatching old shows like Firefly.

        Awesome… Great app…!

        I have a suggestion : take a show as favorite to keep it in the top of the list, it’s possible?

        Because i don’t watch every shows in same time… ;)
