Details

ted is really good at finding the latest aired episodes. But with popular shows, the search feeds of the torrent sites moslty contain only the 3 latest episodes, the rest is not in there because they only list the 30 latest torrents or so.

if ted could add season/episode numbers to the search queries he does on the torrent sites, that could increase the chance of finding older episodes.

- now ted loads the feed for a show once, then goes parsing. even when he has to search for multiple episodes after eachother. that has to be changed so that every episode will load its own feeds.
- we might want to remove the 'availability' bars, since it will take too long to compute if we add this new way of searching, you have to do a query on the torrent sites for every single episode
- i dont know if just querying on "lost 5 2" will do the trick.
- this will obviously only work for search based torrent sites (which is what we use by default)
This task depends upon

* i dont know if just querying on "lost 5 2" will do the trick.
I tried it out with a little hack and that didn't work that well. If you use "lost s05e02" you get a lot more results!

* we might want to remove the 'availability' bars, since it will take too long to compute if we add this new way of searching, you have to do a query on the torrent sites for every single episode.
Than every episode would show up as being available I assume. One thing we could do is do a query on "lost s05". That would be a lot faster than querying every single episode.
