bungle's talk page

i was not asking why you uploaded them in the first place, my question is what was the reason to replace existing main episode images? and btw, they don't look like screencaps, more like a promo photos (which is normal for bbc, but against tvmaze policy).

i have an issue with disregarding time and effort people put to grab images from an actual episode. "grey and dull" is exactly how the show look like. if you want to improve — get the copy of an episode and grab the "colorful" images of better quality than existing, it is allowed to replace any image with the same composition but better quality/resolution.

all of the existing images meet the policy requirements, so there's no reason to replace any of them. 

what are you talking about? those ant-sized 300px images you copy/pasted from netflix? they were replaced with highest available resolution, as the policy demands. Images should be uploaded in the highest available resolution. Any smaller duplicates should be removed afterwards. 
if you'd done the same with aforementioned images we won't be having this convo.

ok guys, let us be civil here, everyone on this site makes mistakes from time to time. tnt is correct that the screencaps should be the highest resolution available and the minimum standard for new shows is 720p. so replacing 300px images with high resolution ones is fine. bungle is correct that not the first image needs to be the one that fills the main image spot, there is no rule or policy about this. This here is our hobby and we should have fun doing it, fighting over this is not fun, so you both please simmer down a bit and have a beer, that is what I will do now :)

your images doesn't met the policy requirements.

https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/47/episode-and-character-screencaps

Episode screencaps or character images can be taken from official websites, provided they meet the policy's episode gallery requirements.
In this case the highest available resolution has to be used.

highest available resolution for netflix stills is 1080p. in any case stills shouldn't be less than 720p.

So it's far from "exact same thing". Deleting invalid (per policy) images is not the same as replacing valid images simply because you don't like them. 

if you'd bother to read and follow the policy, you won't be wasting your time and effort on something which is not allowed to upload in the first place. 

needless to say that deleting invalid stuff is part of "safeguarding the correctness of our data", which is literally curating contributor's job description https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/10/user-permissions

and since you remembered "malcolm x" need i also remind you, that shows should not be added with both network and web channel, unless they are simulcasted on both? and of course finding the correct premiere airdates take a bit more time and effort, then simply importing whatever tvdb offers, but at least they should be from the main network, set for the show, not a binge release from netflix.

the small netflix images from "malcolm x" you mentioned above. i've explained, why they were deleted, with direct quotes from the policy which are not allowing to upload such images. shall i elaborate further?

you really don't see a difference, do you? 

you uploaded something you shouldn't have in the first place, and generously "not nipticking" when it's deleted according to policy. well, you free to "niptick" the next time, we'll see how far that will get you.

follow the policy and don't mess with other people's work — and i promise you, you won't hear from me again. this is as much as we could ask from anyone.

because the policy doesn't allow microscopic shitty images to be uploaded anymore. is that simple enough?
i don't care about them, i don't like them in high resolution either. but at least in high resolution they do not contradict the policy. my personal opinion in this case doesn't matter at all. so is yours, or anyone's, besides jan and david for obvious reasons. only a policy violation grants you a right to do something with existing data, submitted by somebody else. in all other cases, when you think something shouldn't be here because you don't like it, or you have some other problems with it, you contact one of the curating or head contributors, and they will decide what to do with it. or better just mind your own contributions, there's a space for improvement there.

enough with that. i generally don't care what others do, as long as they follow the policy and don't mess with other people's work. so keep that in mind and good luck.

i suppose the policy either don't matter to you or you prefer to deliberately ignore it.

let me ask you this: in your opinion, does episode images you've uploaded to https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/46282/gamebros are valid according to TVmaze policy?

I forgot to mention you'll prob need to use a cached page since its not up on Netflix anymore: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:fPkKAOzFudAJ:https://www.netflix.com/pt/title/80243732+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

We got a guide how to get the best possible images from websites :) We all need to follow it, we put a lot of work into the new image policy, so let us please all follow it :)

works for me. bulk uploading much faster when you don't have to go through each episode and delete invalid images first.
please mind that it's not limited to netflix, and https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/47/episode-and-character-screencaps is considering all episode images, at least for the shows from this century.

spare me your jokes, buzybody, i don't need your permission.

Practically the same crap haha :)

I never said that ten episodes were not wrong my friend, but you used mismatching information. V Live (which is part of Naver TV) ordered ten episodes starting from January 22nd, while MBC ordered only five episodes starting from the 24th. https://namu.wiki/w/%EC%97%91%EC%8A%A4%EC%97%91%EC%8A%A4(XX)

While both parties are involved with the production and V Live is considered to be a non-curated network according to TV maze, MBC would therefore get precedence and V Live would only broadcast the first two episodes ahead of MBC too. 

since the bbc's schedules are unreliable for this show I have decided to remove all the episodes until the next one airs. but bear in mind, regardless of which XL episode they decide to air next, it should still be listed as ep. 4 here. since we order the episodes by the date they air, not to match the numbering on the non-xl show. cheers ;)

I understand, air date vs dvd order.

Would you consider creating an Alternate List at some point as on the BBC iPlayer they have fixed episode numbers irrespective of air date. Otherwise I'm sure people will occasionally try and 'fix' the order requiring the show be locked.

if the order on dvd varies from the dates we shown, then yes you are welcome to create the alternative list. but personally i'm not fussed myself as its a lot to manage doing that for every bbc show that airs an episode out of order. ;)

For most shows I agree but the 1:1 link between QI and QI XL (also Have I Got News for You and Have I Got a Bit More News for You) episodes makes them different, they're like an extended dvd version but not quite. A bit of a PITA to be honest.

It's also going to cause issues for anyone using the tvmaze scraper since scene numbering would match what the BBC say rather than air date. I guess leave it for now and see how much of an issue it becomes.

PS I can't create an Alternate List, it requires someone of Trusted or higher.

I agree it annoyed me a lil when they did this with 'not going out' last season, but it is what it is. blame the bbc i guess for their awful scheduling as of late. :P

looks like they re-scheduled ep.4 for next sat. we'll see how it goes ;)

sure no probs..since the requester added in externals on those I used the importer for the epsiodes. but if you leave me some details on which show needs fixing and be happy to i'll look into it if they haven't been done already. thanks Thomas ;)

I've already done it myself, but I'm expecting the requester did use MyDramalist.com, didn't he? Just for your information, try to avoid that site at all cost if you want to add information haha, but thanks for your speedy reply.

i'm not sure as you didn't say which show were you having problems with? however i'm pretty sure I only used the requesters dramalist links for referencing out some akas and maybe to compare it to the information that was already imported. :)

Ah well this one for example: https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/44541/the-end-of-the-world

Was set to be ended on April 21st lol, while in fact it changed schedules on that date and ran till may, 5th.

Anyway I would not use tvdb for Korean shows either haha, I usually have the sync off for them as I usually keep them by myself up to date :o. Somehow users on tvdb love to create imaginary unofficial titles.

understood. ty man ;)
