Simple TV Torrent Watcher
Version 2.0.3. A local-first browser extension written for Brave and usable on Chromium-based browsers.
What It Does
Simple TV Torrent Watcher adds a watchlist and new-episode scanner to supported EZTV pages, can check user-added RSS feeds, and can send selected magnet links to a supported torrent client WebUI or to the local torrent app on the same computer.
- Adds Scan for New Episodes, Watchlist, Add Show to Watchlist, and Settings buttons on supported EZTV pages.
- Version 2.0.3 checks built-in EZTV RSS when the EZTV JSON API lags behind.
- Parses RSS magnet links from
torrent:magnetURIentries. - Keeps the 2.0.2 Settings fix, opening Settings in a new extension tab to avoid Brave page/client blocking.
- Keeps your show watchlist in browser storage.
- Imports and exports backup lines like
M.I.A | S01E09. - Imports qBittorrent-style filenames like
Show.Name.S02E06.1080p. - Supports whole-season requests like
FROM S02E00. - Checks EZTV, TVMaze, and optional user-added RSS feeds.
Supported Torrent Clients
Direct WebUI/RPC support is included for qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, uTorrent, BitTorrent, and aria2. You can also use same-computer magnet mode if you want your browser to open magnets in the local torrent app.
Best Ways To Add A Show
Paste into Add Show to Watchlist or the bulk import box. Codec words such as HEVC and x265 are ignored when figuring out the show name. Quality words such as 1080p are kept as that show's first quality choice.
| What you type | What it does |
|---|---|
FROM | Adds the show and tracks it from now on. |
FROM s02 | Adds season 2 and starts from S02E00, so episode 1 and newer in season 2 can be found. |
FROM S02E00 | Useful when you want the whole season. |
FROM s02e05 | Marks episode 5 as already handled, so scans look for newer season 2 episodes. |
FROM 2x05 | Same as S02E05 using the alternate episode format. |
FROM season 2 | Adds the whole season starting from S02E00. |
FROM season 2 episode 5 | Same as S02E05. |
FROM 1080p s03 | Adds season 3 starting from S03E00 and prefers 1080p first. |
M.I.A | S01E09 | Import/export format; saves M.I.A with S01E09 as the last episode already handled. |
Tip: use S02E00 when you want the whole season. Use S02E05 when you already have episode 5 and only want newer episodes.
