Need some kind of Watchlist

[megabyteme]

how do the most organized of you keep track of what you are looking for/want to watch?

I use Notepad, but the "most organized" part makes me doubt I'm qualified to answer the question

Well, you still have me beat...

I use the iOS app called TVForecast for years now to track different series'.

As for downloading, do you use Usenet? Tried Sickbeard?

SB looks promising. I am a torrrent user, so I will have to look into its "limited" functionality. I mainly just want a reminder of show's release dates. Basically a heads-up that the shows I want are soon to be available. This may be a step better. I am still quite new to XBMC and all of its capabilities.

Thanks for this.

EDIT- I use Android, but it seems like there might be some decent knock-offs available. Looking into those as well.

Why the fook are you still using torrents?

No, I don't have one either.

(...it seems I'm constantly checking the episode number of the shows I like, have a marathon once I believe the seasons over (I just got fooled by "DaVinci's Demons) or I'm bored, I have to say since I stopped watching most commercial tv (Thanks Idol saving a bundle here!), my organization skills have gone to shite.)

I tried notepad too.... one whole day. I'm useless.

The streaming capabilities of XBMC seem quite good, but I have set it aside while I finish this quarter and get some projects done on the house. Another week and I will be exploring it again.

How reliable is XBMC's streaming on some of the rarer files, say foreign filums which would be more readily available on KG instead of a typical tracker? I kinda like having certain files archived. I'm not all that fond of usenet, tbh.

However, this thread may end up with me changing how I acquire files as much as how I keep track of them.

meg, have a look at http://flexget.com/ when you get a chance.

Thanks, ps. Glanced at it; see its potential. Will have to do some reading to see how/if it will monitor the private sites I use. I like that it works with IMDB! Good find, do you use it yourself?

I don't. More a heads-up than a ringing endorsement. I'm kinda curmudgeonly in the automation dept.

I have yet to even try automation, but there are so many components of what I asked for in flexget that it might be worth experimenting with. Other than Idol's , this thread has been filled with valuable suggestions.

Mine was the most helpful as identifying a problem,in this case you being a loser,is the first step to finding a solution.

Bookmarked it! Thanks!

(I may use it someday if the fog clears in my brain... it is interesting though.)
