Calendar does not show correct release time when time is set for main show info but not per episode

diemunkiesdie wrote 2 years ago: 1

When viewing my show calendar, each episode of Love Island Games (which airs at 21:00) shows as 12:00. This can be corrected by adding 21:00 as the air time for each episode manually (which I had originally done when I made each episode entry) but then the show was edited by someone and the air time was removed from each episode and just added to the main show info. Unfortunately, without the 21:00 being set on each episode as well, viewing your calendar will show the incorrect time. This seems to be a bug since one would think the 21:00 that is set for the main show would override when no other air time is set for each episode.

Here is a link to the main show page that has the time set as 21:00: https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/70802/love-island-games

Here is an example episode with no air time currently set: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/2679340/love-island-games-1x04-episode-4

This issue has previously been discussed here. It is on a streaming service (Peacock), which is why no time is put on the episodes currently.

As @david explained in that thread:

I'll put on my list to see whether we should reconsider this. A long time ago we decided that global webchannel episodes can't have an airtime, because there was no pattern in these shows' release times and it was constantly causing edit wars. But I did notice that the situation is more stable by now, e.g. Netflix officially states that episodes (albeit "typically") are released at 12:00am Pacific time.

Perhaps this could simply be a setting (time + timezone) on the web channel that'll automatically apply to all of their episodes.

As @david explained in that thread:

Sorry that's incorrect. Since Peacock is an American streamer, times can be set at both show and episode level. 

@diemunkiesdie it is fixed now

Thanks! To clarify for the future: Is the correct course of action to put both an episode time and a main show time? I had originally set episode times (but not a main show time) when I created the episodes but then another user removed all of those episode times and put just a main show time so I assumed I was incorrect in setting episode times.

When a show time is set when you add an episode it will automatically add it at that time.

Ah got it, thanks!

@blackcat2021 please do not remove the show times from Love Island Games per the discussion above. You mass edited and removed all the show times! @TomSouthwell is this something you can easily roll back?

I've re-added them, thanks for the heads up :)

And just a quick FYI for everyone else, airtimes are ok and wanted on country specific streamers

I was using the ol' policy with no airtimes for streamed shows... and since the show didn't have set both network and webchannel this was the correct approach.

I read the discussion from @Magitroopa 's provided link above and the head/curators advices and will apply them in future.

@diemunkiesdie I promise I will not remove the show times (cross my kitty heart) , and yeah, I know... bad kitty with all those mass edits.
