A browser extension that makes it easier to add TV shows to your local SickChill installation.
This is a "helper" extension designed to streamline the process of adding new shows to SickChill. The extension identifies TV shows on supported websites (like IMDb) by injecting a small SickChill icon next to the title. Alternatively, you can highlight any text, right-click, and add the show via the context menu. A click on either of these takes you directly to the "Add Show" page in your SickChill, with the show's name already pre-filled in the search bar.
Visit the project's homepage for a more detailed overview.
- Quick Link: Injects an 'Add to SickChill' link on user-configured show pages.
- Context Menu Support: Highlight any show's name on any page, right-click, and add it directly to SickChill.
- Automated Search: Opens the 'Add Show' page in SickChill and starts the search automatically.
- Flexible Setup: Supports custom rules for site recognition via the options page.
- Data Management: Includes functionality to back up and restore your settings.
