That's really odd. How do you check your episodes? In the shows list or the episodes list?

Furthermore, could you please track the names of the shows it happens to, so I can have a look at whether the info in TheTVDb is modified in an unconventional way or something?

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I'll keep an eye out for the names but, the most recent show it happened to was "Law&Order". This was odd because the series ended years ago but, I keep track of the ones I had seen and had not seen yet.
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
If you want to be sure I can find out what's going on, then enable the daily backups option and as soon as you see it happened, perform a manual backup and then send me all three backups in the /sd/DroidShows folder.

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Sorry for the wait, I had 3 files in the folder so i copied, zipped and uploaded the folder.

I hope it was what you needed to figure out the odd behavior.

Thanks a ton for your prompt attention.

As i had stated before, it's not a show stopper (LOL) situation so please take your time. I'm a patient person.

I hope it uploaded good. I'm using the new XDA Labs app i recently installed. Please let me know if you need me to upload the file using an alternate route.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I uploaded another zipped file.

I may not have done the last one correctly but, you can compare the two if you would like.

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Ok, thanks, the second one did make it clear immediately. See this:

Barney Miller
5x11 The Radical	==> was listed as 5x1
8x15 Obituary	==> was listed as 8x1

Law & Order
10x4 Merger	==> was missing
13x16 Suicide Box	==> was listed as 13x1

Once Upon A Time
2x19 Lacey	==> was listed as 2x1

So basically, some of the episodes are listed with the wrong episode number. DroidShows used to rely on each episode's unique id in TheTVDb's database structure, but episodes got removed & re-added frequently, so that messed up the update process. So I decided to compare only to the season & episode number to decide the "seen status" after updating a show. Now if the above happens, obviously it will lose the "seen status" of 5x11, 8x15 and 2x19, because they were listed as 5x1, 8x1 and 2x1 resp., until the update, in which the episode numbers were fixed.

Since there's no other data missing or corrupted in your database, I'm guessing these are mistakes in TheTVDb's data, so nothing I can do about that. What I DO recommend, though, is for you to check the option "Update shows' last season only". This way, any changes made in TheTVDb for previous seasons are just ignored by DroidShows, which in almost any case is just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Understood. I'm happy to know that it's authentic and not specific to my phone and/or I.

I would like to thank you again for your prompt attention into this.

After looking for apps for a while and, with trial and error on a bunch of them, this is, by far, the best one.

On another note...

I also use the "TV listings" by TV24 and find that to be a very good app as a TV Guide but, I wish there was an app that allows me to add OTA channels to the cable channel list.

I mean that the apps i find only allow me to select 1 provider (to include OTA) and edit that provider's list of channels (to view or not view a specific channel) though I also get a dozen or so OTA channels integrated with the cable channels.

I know there's an app out there that will do this and it's more than likely that it's an "off the grid" (meaning that it's not in Google Play) like this app.

Could you or someone else recommend one or more i can try?

Thank you for this app and I'll stay in touch with any issues, questions or suggestions.

Have you considered having more options than just the shows and archived?

I watch shows from a variety of sources.Netflix.show me, dvds from the library, it would be nice to sort then into custom category or classafication

A feature like that would take your app from really liked to just loved.. At least for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
I asked a friend of mine and she mentioned titantv.com, but that only has 1) a mobile site and 2) an old, now unsupported, Android app (http://m.classytalk.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.titantv/3/5125438/TitanTV+for+Android). Searching for "titantv" on the Play Store led to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvslines.tvlistings, and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvslines.tvlistings (which you apparently already use), and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tozelabs.tvshowtime. I haven't checked if they actually use TitanTV as back-end or if they just put in "titantv" as a keyword somewhere. Guess that's for you to find out! ;)

Thought about it, yes, but I think it violates the idea behind DroidShows: allowing you to see the state of all current shows in a single glance. Instead, you would be working your way through a multitude of lists all the time, while having to update them all separately, as well. So I'm sorry to say this, but I won't be implementing this in my version, but feel free to find someone who wants to fork DroidShows and add it on their own. If the code is neat, I'd reconsider and maybe merge it into mine.
[Android Apps and Games] henrykyonza:
I understand your viewpoint.

But have you considered the way shows are watched now? Fewer and fewer people are just watching their entertainment series on just tv anymore. Your have traditional tv, you have internet based like netflix, pay per view, you have webisodes, you have downloads, lending libraries, phone apps and even series shown at theaters now.

Personally it's not just about what I'm watching and when but where I can find it when I want it next.

I think that yes everyone needs to know the overall picture of what is being watch and what is coming up next (especially at the start of the season and at the breaks). But with entire seasons being released all at once on netflix and others, (Not to mention the growing internet based release system(I'm subscribed to two now thinking about another)) the re-release of older series, the re-imagining revamping of old series for future release..

People really need a way to track what when and where to watch their shows..

With the where becoming as important as what..

After all when you have watched 20 or 30 series on Netflix how do you know what you have not seen on their service.. Or what you are currently watching on that service compared to others services..

Maybe I'm ahead of the game by a few years.. But I think everyone will be in my boat In a few years.. Even more so when nbc,ABC, Disney, etc get into the internet game with both feet.

Like ltGuillaume said, if you want this app tailor made for yourself and your perceived needs (and those other users like you) then either; [A] find someone who will make it for you, or learn to code yourself and bring your own fork of it out (or an entirely new app) :good:

When you update shows does it also update the archived shows or just the active ones?

I archiving the shows that I have given up on. But I might go back to them next year.. So I was wondering I'd I have to move them back to un archived to see the current episodes..
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
"Update shows" only updates the current list (either archived or current shows). This is done on purpose, because it 1) speeds up the process and 2) archived shows will probably be moved to the current list as soon as they're relevant again. BUT you can just update ALL archived shows by going to the archive and choose "Update shows" there.

Some episodes are not updating.

For example, Ancient Aliens has a new episode for May 6 but, it is not reflected in the app.

It is reflected in IMDB on the following link:

DroidShows takes its info from TheTVDb (now called/integrated with TheMovieDb). It is a community effort to keep all the info up-to-date, and as far as I can see, that specific episode info info simply isn't there: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/32608-ancient-aliens You're free to create an account over at TheMovieDb and add the episode yourself.

Just a feature suggestion...

Since the app synchronizes with thetvdb info, why not add thetvdb to the long press options along with the imdb options.

I uploaded an image example of the menu I'm referring to.

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Another feature suggestion...

How about including specials in with the long press options when marking shows to a point as already watched.

Currently you have to select the specials individually and separately.

I uploaded an image example of the menu I'm referring to.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Final feature suggestion (for now)...

How about a way to edit the date(s) of when a show was watched manually.

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Hey. Thanks for your suggestions.

First suggestion: well, all the information that's on TheTVDb already is available in the app, so why go there?

2nd: I found it's almost never the case that one has seen all the specials so far, so I think it's better to let users have a look at them individually.

3rd: well, the seen date is just an indication. If you want to really edit them, then the next question is to batch edit them, and well, that would need batch selection, and that would need a new implementation of the list, and that would need revision of some other stuff. If you really really want to change the dates, you could do so manually with something like SQLiteBrowser or an app that can edit SQLite databases.

[MiXplorer Skins Gallery] - [2016 DroidSeries Reboot]
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Okay...

Well the info is from the imdb and not the tvdb. I was suggesting that a link taking you to the tvdb website itself would be a great addition.

I've worked with sql before and it is allot of work to accomplish the date changes. Adding a feature allowing a date change is also a great Feature.

I'm not arguing, just providing input as an app user to enhance an already great app.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
I think I'm missing your point, or either you or I misunderstood: just to be clear, no information in the app is coming from IMDb, everything comes from TheTVDb. Even the IMDb rating in the app is just the number that is in TheTVDb's entry of the show/episode. So it makes sense to have a context item to IMDb, but not to TheTVDb: all the info there is in DroidShows.

I'll have a look at manual seen date entry later, I do think it is sometimes useful.

I just imported your database and updated the shows several times. I couldn't find any issues with database or the update process, so I think it's related to either your network connection (please try updating via WiFi if you were on 3G/4G, or vice versa) or you got unlucky and the server of TheTVDb was unresponsive (that happens quite often, unfortunately, please try updating at different times of the day).

The few lines that relate to DroidShows are very sketchy. I would recommend to completely uninstall DroidShows, reinstall the latest (v7.0.7), enable the option "Update shows' last season only" and import your backed up database. If this doesn't work, create another logcat dump, but let the update process run for at least a couple of minutes, so I can see if any timeouts occur.

Thanks for the info, evidently it was a longshot and thus not the cause of what you're experiencing. I'll have another look at the logcat you provided.

[Edit]: There is no information whatsoever about updating a show/all shows, or of adding a show to DroidShows inside your logcat, so I can't do anything with it. If you find the time, please try to create another logcat dump and start before you run DroidShows, be sure to try to add a show, and to update one show, and to update all shows, then stop capturing logcat and save it.

In the mean time, you can check if it's merely an issue with the progress dialogs by trying out this version. It allows you to use the back button to cancel a progress dialog. After that, you can check if the show was still added, and if a show was still updated (just remove an episode somewhere, update the show, cancel the sticking dialog via the back button, and see if the episode was added again).

Really odd. I'd like to help, but it's really difficult, since I'm not able to reproduce it, and apparently we can't find anything in the logcat dumps. I've included a connection timeout and a read timeout in v7.0.8 for you (so not the beta in the reply to you, but the one posted afterwards). If that gets rid of the progress dialog between 5-15 seconds, then there is something consistently wrong with your connection, but I wouldn't know why that wouldn't tamper with all your apps. Another possibility is that TheTVDb is really unresponsive for you, I've had that myself on multiple occasions, but usually it's resolved after an hour or so. Please try v7.0.8 (final), I really hope it works for you.

Just thought of a feature, it's a bit of an odd ball but Wtf.

It would be nice if a user could add a custom url link to the shows

That way when a new show it up a user could long press or whatever and then be taken to their custom link that could be anything. Like the forums they talk about the show on or a blog by the writers or whatever the user wants in the custom link.

Not at all important a feature but just something I was thinking when I switch from your app to the web browser.

Have a look at this beta. Under "External resources" in the context menu, you can put as many URL's as you want, and they'll show up as list items below the Wikipedia & IMDb entries.

You don't have to add "http://" or "https://" to the url (but you can).

Just put one url per line

Another new feature is that instead of showing "Next episode: 3x11 on Nov 30, 2016" in the shows overview, you can enable the option to show "3x11 | Next airing: 3x13 on Dec 13, 2016". This will thus show the next episode to be seen, followed by the first upcoming broadcast. This way you can see whether you'd better wait another day, so you can watch 3 episodes in one go.

Question: should I group IMDb pages and Wikipedia under External resources, or should they remain in the context menu as separate items?
