Hello tv show fans, This month, marks a turn-page for the Series Organizer application. It's coming to its end, and I'm not sure if I'll ever pick it up again. But don't freak out, there are also good news! The main reason for it, is that the TVDB.com, source of truth for the shows in the SO Database since version 3, will start a paying subscription model. I never made any income with SO, it's an hobby, as such I don't expect me or you, the user, paying to use it as it is now. The option is to use TMDB api, but that would meant to re-write a lot of code, which I preferred to go into another route, see below. Over the past few months, I've been working on a new project, it's far from complete, but already has some form. If you're an Android user, then fear not, as you can still keep tabs on your shows, even while offline from the internet. There's no idea of pursuing this for iOS or continue Windows development at this point. If you'd like to be part of the beta testing, let me know and we'll arrange something. The app is not on the play store yet, as there's some cleanup and testing to be done 1st. The objective, is to make it as similar to SO 5.0.2 as possible, with new and improved features. Here are some teasers:

Hi everyone, SO 5.0.2 is finally here, it brings some fixes as well as two new neat features - You can now run your latest to see episode directly from the series list if it's found on your media directory. You can also see if an RSS serie is out and filter from the series panel list, take a look below: Here's the full change/fix list:
SO 5.0.2 26/01/2020 - New: - Series Panel now contains "link" to RSS series for fast access/Filter - Series Panel now contains "link" to unseen ep files for fast access - Added Bulgarian Language (thank you to whomever did this!) - Added filter to RSS window for faster search - Fixed: - Banner logic reworked - !Needs an override and full update on the Options menu! - Series with empty banners would trow an exception on the episode list screen - Re-added Czech language with help of Google - Series Banners changed on theTVDB.com, fixed - Recent popular shows had 2017 hardcoded, now takes system date - Series not updating - changes on the thetvdb api - Auto show RSS news windows wasn't working - 5.0.1 hardcoded version for udpate compare is wrong Good shows! André Hi everyone, I'm still awaiting for an update from theTVDB.com in regards to the shows updates. There's currently an issue with their server which is not providing the date that the show was last updated. Until they fix this, and I release SO 5.0.2 (already in the makings), a quick fix is to click the "Upgrade DB from SO 3", and this will "flag" all of your tv shows to be updated: I know this is not a complete fix, but I'm unable to help since the issue is not really on Series Organizer side.
SO 5.0.2 will be released as soon as this is fixed together with a few more fixes and improvements! André Hi Tv Show fanatics,
Series Organizer is probably not working properly for the last few days. Worry not as I haven't forgot about it, although I'm waiting on the TVDB.com to fix their issues or provide an update on their side. I know recent development of SO has been slow, to say the least. but I'm doing what I can to at least continue maintaining a working application. I'm not sure how many people actually use this software, other then me to mainly track the shows and when a new episode comes out thru rss torrents. Give me a shout out if you're out there, knowing more folks use the program might lead me to do more and better stuff. There's really not much going on SO wise other than fixing whatever the TVDB is changing in the next few weeks. At least a good soul made a new Language translation, so stay tuned for the SO fix, which will bring Bulgarian in it's languages menu! Let me know if you have any questions!! André Hi Tv Show fanatics,
Series Organizer has an update with a few fixes for the beta version. I've ran several scenarios, but there's so much I can test, and I actually use two different machines and resolutions as well a virtual machine. Here are all the fixes:
Hi all,
Series Organizer 5 is here in its early stages. It suffered a simple GUI redesign, a Series RSS revamp for better usability, and a brand new File System, in which you can monitor a folder for media files, and match them to TV shows being followed on SO. I'll start providing both installer and zip files for more versatility, check the download page for links. Here's what's new/changed: SO 5.0.0.0 _beta 22/10/2018
If you don't see your series after install, go to the old install folder and copy the whole "series" folder into the new installation one. Old themes won't work anymore as the theme.cfg file and the images address numbers changed, so if you had any "custom" theme you'll have to redo it again. If you want to see your theme distributed with SO let me know! Czech language is not yet available. If you care to translate SO please check the links on the menu. Let me know of any problems! As always, good shows! Hi everyone, the main download link has been updated with SO 4.4.0.3.
