2. There was a big problem!

3. So many TV shows...
So little time to watch them
the disrespect of TV networks

5. I noticed that when a TV show is
starting, I wouldn't get a piece of
paper nor open a txt to write it down

6. but the damn phone is always
nearby!

7. What if I had a list of the episodes of
each show I follow,
and their synopsis, etc.
and could check them on my
beloved N900!?

8. How could this be done?
2 options:
#1 screen scraping
#2 a nice API

9. I searched for the nice API
Joaquim Rocha (Igalia) · SeriesFinale · FOSDEM 2010

10. Found TheTVDB.com :
GPL project where everybody can
contribute with info and art
about their favorite shows
Joaquim Rocha (Igalia) · SeriesFinale · FOSDEM 2010

11. And there was even a Python
module to try the API right away

12. So I did a fast check, the API
worked;
TheTVDB seemed well updated;
and I started SeriesFinale using
Igalia's hackfest time

13. The architecture is not dependent
on TheTVDB
(another provider backend
can be written)

18. Future:
* Download and use art
* Use CouchDB

* Make a web site with sync
capability
* Find a way to link to episodes'
trailers on YouTube
