joint eps [OLDREQ]

i think it's not good about the currect system of handling the joint files. this way it seems i have some eps missing and i don't (naruto for example - 66/67 etc.). it should be done in the other way, or there should be a very small fake file to download and keep to have the list complete

this is a well known problem and there have been some fake files added like for example for Hikaru no Go.. but adding fake files like that isn't good...

well, EXP just needs to find a way how to deal with joint episodes

Maybe as simple as possible:
add to episode (or to file, but episode is better place) description additional field: number of real episodes in this episode/file
- normally (default) this will be set to 1,
- for files containing more than one episode to 2 (number of episodes in this file, there are some files containing more episodes, the most i saw is 4 episodes in one file),
- for files containing part of anime/episode (Part 1 of 2, Part 2 of 2) set it to 1 for last part and to 0 for previous parts,
- for files containg subs or another non-viewable contents, set it to 0
And in mylist use for counting episodes/marking as seen sum of this value instead of number of files/episodes.

For the current suggestion, see Shadowfiles - having multiple eps in one file [ONTODO]
