Hey, Ive been using TV Shows 2 for ages without a hitch, even with custom feeds. Yesterday, I changed some for current shows as some were being missed. When TV Shows restarts it checks then vanishes, appears for about 5-10 seconds and goes away. Ive reboot, reinstalled, if i clear subscriptions totally, which i really don't want to do it stays there fine. I know the feeds I am using are working, so how could this be affecting the program working?

    Hi Scott,

    I'm not sure I understood your issue:

    • With no subscriptions, TVShows "works" fine (no crashing or vanishing...), right?
    • If you add a custom subscription, the PrefPane goes away? What happens if you try to open it again? Can you provide the feed you're using so we can try it too?
    • What happens if you add a preset list subscription?

    Yes No subscriptions it works fine.

    Custom subscriptions (any) it vanishes, now i say vanishes as i have no crash log, weird right?

    Preset List subscription gives me the same error.

    I have just reset TV Shows again, and re sync'd to MISO, it brought all my shows back minus my custom feeds and it is working.

    It mustn't like feeds from http://showrss.karmorra.info/?cs=feeds

    which is sad, as sometimes TV Shows misses a couple of shows that were on the previous night.

    Hi Scott,

    I still don't understand, if you had the same problem with preset list subscriptions how come you don't have it anymore upon re-syncing via Miso?

    Anyway, we used to use ShowRSS feeds, so unless they have changed their format they should still work with TVShows. If you provide an example feed I can try it on my TVShows.

    What episodes did your TVShows miss? If there's any problem with the search queries we'd like to fix it.

    I have no idea, just tried adding http://showrss.karmorra.info/feeds/611.rss (rss for dads (2013)

    Same thing happened.

    Quite a few last night.

    Marvels agents of sheild didnt come down along with :
    Dads
    Brooklyn Nine nine

    thanks for all your help by the way

    Hi Scott,

    I'll try the ShowRSS feed for Dads when I get home.

    The feeds for SHIELD and Brooklyn Nine Nine don't have any episodes, it's a known issue. You can find working feeds here (and please refer to that discussion for notifications when we fix them).

    As for Dads, the feed has all the aired episodes... but it's possible that your TVShows doesn't download new items as they appear on the feed, depending on your "quality settings" it may take longer because it's waiting for the "good" version (e.g. if your subscription is in HD and the HD version hasn't come out yet, or if the "use additional sources" option is not checked and the available version is rar'd or in a folder...).
