TVShows 2.0b3 Released
This update brings several new features and is a recommended update for everyone. You can either download it below or wait for it to automatically update (assuming the option is enabled). Here’s a complete list of the changes we made, as well as an updated list of known bugs and incomplete features:
- System Preferences now restarts the first time after an update is installed in order to prevent a bug with how preference panes are handled.
- Per-show preferences can now be changed from the subscription info window.
- Past episodes can now be download from the subscription info window.
- TVShows should now only download your selected show quality. If the last 10 episodes are not available in that quality then it will download whichever quality it can.
- You will now be alerted the next time you open the preference pane after an update is installed automatically.
- Growl notifications are now implemented. View the Preferences tab to enable or disable them.
- Files should now be opened in the background instead of interrupting whatever you’re working on.
- The feedback window has been localized into Portuguese by Daniel Sarsi Orta. We will make an announcement once official support for translating is offered.
And don’t forget: if you’re confused about anything, run into problems, or have a suggestion please use the new “Submit Feedback” button on the left or contact us via Twitter.

What’s up?
There was an issue connecting to showRSS (for the show list) and the Ember Code website (to check for updates). Since both websites failed to load I would suggest trying again later. It’s probably just a temporary issue with your connection.
After adding two shows, I went to the subscriptions pane and there are two subscriptions for each show. When I click on them, nothing happens. I restarted system prefs, but I still get no response to delete subscriptions.
How do I fully uninstall the old version of TVShows (0.4)?
I installed the 2.0 beta and now I download 2 of every torrent.
Redownload it from http://embercode.com/tvshows/ and run the included Uninstaller app.
