Changeable Individual Show Airdate

agent619 wrote 8 years ago: 1

I'd like to have the option of changing the airtime of individual shows for display on the user's own Calendar, or for syncing to iCal / Google Calendar.

Currently, web shows are listed as broadcasting at 12am regardless of any specific time listed on the hosted website, and examples of this are shows on the WWE Network (i.e. 205 Live, Talking Smack, NXT) or Rooster Teeth. This is apparently TVMaze's policy to prevent confusion with users from different time zones. Having the option for users to change broadcast times for themselves only would be a way for users to tailor the schedule to their own times, and to be responsible for their own calendars and confusions.

Hi TVMaze people,

Anything?

Right now there isn't any sort of customization available. You might want to look at some of these pending features as some of them are close to what you're looking for and vote for them. The more votes a pending item has the further up the list it moves.

Hi LadyShelley,

I am aware that there isn't any customisation available - hence my entry in the 'suggestions' board. Thank you for your suggestions, but none of these exactly what I was looking for as they are only referring to the schedule page while mine was towards iCal.

My post here was intended to enquire about this as a possible feature and timeline for implementation; or alternatively to question the policy regarding web-shows airing at midnight.

Having custom airtimes per user doesn't seem a great idea, but we definitely plan to improve webchannel airdate/airtime handling at some point in the future.
