Check for Episodes Setting

I would like an option where the application does NOT check for episodes manually, but only when I click the menubar icon and select "Check Now." Reason I would like this is because I don't want the computer to check automatically everytime I restart the computer. I just want it to fetch videos when I want them :)

In Short: Add "Check Manually" (No automatic checking) option to the Check for Episodes Setting.

   Thanks for the suggestion J, we'll probably add this in the future 3.0 version. Right now, you can achieve something similar by typing this in the terminal:

   launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.victorpimentel.TVShowsHelper.plist

   With that you will disable TVShows, and with this you will enable it so it will search for episodes:

   launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.victorpimentel.TVShowsHelper.plist

   Maybe you can create a .sh script to enable it, wait five minutes for the episodes to be checked and then disabled it, something like this:

   launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.victorpimentel.TVShowsHelper.plist sleep 300 launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.victorpimentel.TVShowsHelper.plist

   So that you don't have to type in the Terminal every time you want to check it. Anyway, this is very cumbersome, and as I told you, we expect to have that as an option in the 3.0 version.

   Cheers!
