Exact airtimes?


Magitroopa wrote 2 years ago: 2

Is there anything that can be done regarding exact airtimes and the schedule on the site?

Take for example tonight, the Not Dead Yet episode "TBA". Using the times listed on The Futon Critic (9:32 PM-10:01 PM EST), it makes it looks like this, as if it is a 15-minute long episode rather than around 30 minutes.

Changing the airtime 21:32 to 21:30 and the runtime from 29 minutes to 30 minutes produces this instead, which is moreso correct within the schedule.

I'm sure the exact airtime would be preferred to be used as per data policies ("The time should not be rounded."), but if that be the case, is there any way to fix the schedule so that if a show is airing around a minute (or so) off of the 30-minute intervals, that it doesn't display it to look shorter than it actually is?...

@david can you take a look please.

In the meantime though we should still follow current policy @Magitroopa so if the episode airs at 21:32 thats the time it should be set to not 21:30 like you've changed it to.

I pushed a change that fixes this. I know the logic was there to prevent another "weird" scenario, but I just can't reproduce that one anymore by now :/ So if you notice any other sudden issues with the schedule, let me know!
