Hi,

Awesome site! i've been looking for something like this for awhile :)

Will you be making an RSS Feed feature from our selected TV Calendar... like a Chrome app or something?

Thanks :)

I know that it's not exactly the same, but there is an iCal export that will work with stuff like Google Calendar.

if you're interested, you can find it on your dashboard

RSS feeds have been requested quite a few times, if you want it as well cast your vote here: http://www.tvmaze.com/forums/6/pending-features :)

I never completely understood the demand though, RSS seems like an inferior format to me compared to the iCal feeds we already offer. Feel free to elaborate on why exactly you're interested in RSS!

There's an extension i used to use for chrome for custom RSS Feeds and it would give me the notification on updates, so the main reason i would like it is so i don't have to load the google calendar page to know what's getting aired on that day.

Lazy i know but it would be nice :D

Looks like there's at least a Google Calendar plugin for Chrome which could do the same thing with our iCal feeds: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-c...

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I genuinely want to know why people are interested in RSS, so keep the feedback coming.

To give you an example: the iCal feeds tell you exactly when an episode starts airing, so you can have your client/plugin convert the times to your local timezone and set up alerts right before your favorite episodes begin. In RSS it isn't even possible to attach dates or times to entries, it's pretty much nothing more than a collection of links.

I initially used RSS because i never knew there was this iCal that could do the same or anything else

That's what i'm looking for i'll give it a shot thanks :)
