Hi, Aidan!
Please tell me what to do? A certain series that was broadcast on a Web channel, let's call it "X", has 8 episodes in the first season and 8 episodes in the second season. A month after the second season episodes were shown, a director's cut of the second season is released on Network (before that, a repeat of the first season was shown on this Network), but in the director's cut there are 9 episodes, and a different duration of episodes, a new episode was inserted between episodes 2 and 3 of the second season. What to do in this case?
On the Web channel where the series was originally broadcast, after the premiere on Network, a separate page appeared only for the second season of the director's cut

Oh, that's a messy one

I guess this is what I'd do, maybe ;)

The original web channel airing should be listed as it's what aired first, of course.

You say the runtime is different, is it longer or shorter ? If they are longer then check how much longer the episodes are, if it's over 25% longer than the original eps you could do a separate listing for them.
Details here: https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/13/shows#duplicates

If they are not different enough to warrant a new listing, you can create a alternate listing for all the network episodes with their network airdates.

For the extra episodes see if they can be merged or split as explained here; https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/40/alternate-episodes

If they can't, then adding them to the web listing with no airdate is an option, then link to them on the alternate list with dates there.

Hi, Aidan!

Please tell me which country must be indicated for a person if he was born in the Republic of Abkhazia? This country is not in the list for selection

I guess the closest thing would be Georgia

Hello, Aidan!

Can you please add season five here? For some reason my Netflix is acting up today and doesn’t show anything at all. Thank you in advance :)

Hi,

I see that you have added a whole bunch of episodes to Media Watch:

https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/5720/media-watch/episodes

Please note there will be NO episode of Media Watch on April 1st as this is Easter Monday (a national holiday), just like there has been no Media Watch on previous Easter Mondays. So episode 9 & all subsequent episodes will need to be adjusted accordingly.

On the other hand, I do see that you got right with all the Four Corners episodes that you added, ie. no episode listed on April 1st.

I'm not sure I see the point of adding so many episodes when networks can & do make changes. For example, I know that the ABC has made changes to the number of Q+A episodes that will be broadcast this year ... mostly only when federal parliament is sitting. Australian Story that is before Four Corners is broadcast in blocks of generally 8-10 episodes & then has a break for a few weeks. I'm not aware of any significant changes to either Four Corners or Media Watch but that could happen.

Cheers...

Hi BazzaG

The episodes were imported from tvdb and you're right its too many episodes too far ahead, so I've deleted them.

Don't be afraid of correcting stuff like this without asking :)
