Hello, I see you are editing the runtime for a few episodes (e.g.: https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/76121/milf-of-norway episode 2&3).

These runtimes are correct, as we use actual runtimes when listing episodes (e.g. if the episode is 23m and 29s long, we list it as 23m long. If the episode is 23m and 30s long, we list it as 24m long). In general, if the runtime is already edited to be x minutes by someone (in this case me), and you are unsure if the runtime it correct, just ask the person who set the runtime in the first place, instead of changing the runtime to be incorrect.

From the policy: "For web channels, episode length is the length of the video stream on the original web channel's platform."
Also discussed here: https://www.tvmaze.com/threads/4525/episode-run-time-round-up-down-or-nearest "for episodes on a web channel we use the real runtime, so we would put in 23min for 23m2s and we would put in 24min for 23m30s."

Ok noted. In the filmworld they always round down. So I thought it was the same here

Hello, once again asking you to not update runtime before checking if your changes are correct - referring to he NRK series Tiltalt that you updated a couple a days ago. The runtimes for the episodes I updated were indeed correct, and are now incorrect after your change.

NRK sometimes displays 41 min when an ep is 41m and XXs, we use the actual episode runtime, not whatever the website says. E.g. here: https://tv.nrk.no/serie/tiltalt/sesong/1/episode/MDFP16000325 - displays 41 min, ep is 41m and 44s, runtime should then be 42m, not 41m. Your edit here for reference: https://www.tvmaze.com/edit/view?id=23577658

Hello,

I see that you're adding a lot of series with multiple web channel's and/or networks (e.g. Skinnet bedrar you added with both TVNorge & discovery+, when it only "premieres" on discovery+, and is later in the day aired on TVNorge). If you want to add a secondary premiere (network or otherwise) you can add an "alternate list" (https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/40/alternate-episodes) for them. The policy of premiere dates/times are described in the data policies: https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/15/episodes

I've changed quite a few of the series back to discovery+, as this is where they originally premiere. A show can very rarely premiere on both a network and a web channel at the same time, Maskorama is a good example of this, as it airs live on both NRK1 & NRK TV at the same time.

Hi,

This show is airing first on a web channel so episodes are available before the TV broadcast time and the runtime should be the exact video length. I have removed the 20:00 airtime and default runtime changes that you had made. Also all images should be at least 720p or the highest resolution available - usually 1080p for most EU broadcasters.

Please check the episode FAQ https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/15/episodes or ask in the Edit Request forum if you are unsure about editing or have any questions.

Thanks,

Cos
