Split ep Files [outdated]

Post by Der Idiot »

example:
http://anidb.info/a1491
http://www.allcinema.net/prog/show_c.php?num_c=88373
http://www.animechecklist.net/details.php?ID=1148

originally released as 3 ovas a 60min this release was split in 6 files a 30min

leaves pretty much 2 choices:

- add 2 files per episode and add filecomments
- move to specials and change the ep titles

i don't care either way, but having a standard might help i the future. ^^

Most cases like this have moved the files to specials and users have to use generics to mark the eps as complete. Here are some examples. There are also more cases in the "[ADD][Generic]" topics.

first this was only about released eps which were officially cut into several pieces. (like the example i gave above or to name another one Detective conan has a ton of eps (TV specials longer than 20min) which got cut into 20min eps for other countries)

But what about unofficial cuts?! like when someone cuts a release of a group into several parts. for newer stuff we just wipe it and message the one who added it to use the "seledited" state. but what about old things?! I have seen several ways how those got handeled. one being: set crc to unchecked, remove the grouptag and add a file comment "unofficial cut" or alike.

I would prefer to bulkpm all user and wipe those entries.
