Extended Notice Alternates

Hey Bob

Hope you're okay.

I've just updated these alternates again, please take into effect when editing this part of the data policies:

Special care should be taken when episodes air at or after midnight. To ensure that the episode airdates on TVmaze are in line with the dates used by TV guides and listings worldwide, episodes that start airing at or after midnight but before 5:00 are considered part of the previous day. For example, if an episode airs after midnight between Monday the 1st and Tuesday the 2nd, the airdate should be set to the 1st; even though technically the proper date would be the 2nd.

Thanks

Tom

Hi @BobCitizen

Please also be careful when changing existing alternate lists. You've changed Top Gear Australia NZ premiere to the streaming lists, although the dates are correct, since it's original dates are for a streamer, we should have kept the NZ broadcast dates in place as well, unless it's broadcast on TV in Australia as well?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Sorry bout that. I have had a look around and can not see the show having aired at all on Oz on the 10 Network, nor does there seem to be any plans to soon. So i have added back the episodes 1 and 2 for the NZ Network Broadcast.

Just to clarify, I thought something like this only applied to Networks that were involved in the ordering of the show. Is that correct or it just applies to the 1st one to air on a Network broadcast?

Cheers

Bob

No this is for any network that airs that show in that country. We are working on adding dual capabilities so if a show is boxsetted first on a digital service, soon we will be able to add the alternate linear premiere for that country as well.

Thanks

Hi Tom, thanks for the reply.

Just on another matter, you input a few episodes for https://www.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/2790/the-hundred-with-andy-lee-new-zealand-country-premiere in Season 3.

I have deleted the 2 entries dated Fri Aug 23 and 30 and these are repeats of Season 1 episodes and amended the 2 for Tues Aug 27 and Sep 03 to ep 01 and 02 for season 3.

Only the episodes airing on Tuesdays are new. So just ignore the Friday ones.

Cheers

Nic

Hi Tom,

https://www.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/3317/married-at-first-sight-uk-broadcast-premiere-new-zealand-country-premiere

Can you please amend the NZ Alternate list to Web Channel ThreeNow as that is where S09 will air first at noon before airing later on the same day on Network Three.

For reference: https://www.screenscribe.net/married-at-first-sight-uk-double-dates/

Thank

@david can you fix that, it's saying the alternate list already exists when I try to sort it.

@BobCitizen why have you incorrectly changed the airtimes for every episode of Corrie. Since the start of this month it moved to ITVX as first run at 7am the same as Emmerdale.

My apologies Tom, I was not aware that these shows had moved to ITVX. Will note for future inputs.

Third notice for uploading low-res pictures

puffosul posted 3 years ago

This is the third time I noticed you're not uploading pictures the highest resolution available as stated in https://www.tvmaze.com/faqs/9/data-policies

I gave you instructions on how to do that, but seems I'm just being ignored and you continue to do that.

Low resolution pictures

puffosul posted 4 years ago

Again, this picture you've uploaded https://www.tvmaze.com/images/842707/the-nome-inees-are-image-842707 350x197px does not meet the site requirements. If you modify the picture thumbnail link from discovery website https://api.discovery.com/v1/images/60e8e1bcd66492762d142922?aspectRatio=16x9&width=768&key=3020a40c2356a645b4b4 by replacing 768 with 1920 you will get a high resolution picture. You can always see the resolution of a picture, before uploading, by opening the link in a new tab.

Please don't upload pictures in low resolution, anymore.

Pictures in full resolution

puffosul posted 4 years ago

Hi, thanks for your contributions, I notice tho, you're not uploading images in high resolution:

https://www.tvmaze.com/images/832964/earth-wind-fire-donuts-image-832964 (579x325px)

The official site has this image listed https://cdn1.edgedatg.com/aws/v2/abc/HoleyMoley/video/304/1d46be5535d2c063cb3cb020ee66e2bf/579x325-Q100_1d46be5535d2c063cb3cb020ee66e2bf.jpg and if you replace 579x325 with 1920x1080 in the link you will get the FullHD resolution picture.

There is also a guideline about how to get the largest available images from different sites https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/39/how-to-get-the-largest-available-images-from-different-websites

All the best,
