Hi.

What is the difference between {eps} and {ep count}?


Thanks

eps means the total number of episodes. this number will be 0 if it's unknown. ep count is number of episodes (not special) currently added.

example: http://anidb.info/a3348 -> 0 eps, ep count=18

Ok, thanks.
The problem is that some times eps is not the sum of normal episodes plus specials:

aid: 1052
eps: 24
ep count: 24
special: 8


Regards

specials are not part of the total ep number, no. not in the udp api and not on the website. why is that a problem? do you really want to believe that chrno crusade has 32 episodes?

btw, the reason for 'ep count' is:
a) to get an idea on how many episodes there are when eps is undefined (for never ending series like one piece, naruto, etc.)
b) to calculate the completion percentage when eps is defined

adding the special count to this would only mess things up

Simply, it was not clear to me the distinction beetwen eps and ep count!

Thanks.
