==How it works== | |||
===stalled=== | |||
AniDB only check for the <i>highest</i> added file for an episode by a group to set states. A timestamp gets set for this episode and if a <i>higher</i> ep doesn't get released in a defined timeframe it gets set stalled. Adding <i>lower</i> eps won't change the timestamp. | |||
<i>Lets make an example to show what this means:</i><br> | |||
:[http://anidb.info/a266 Meitantei Conan] | |||
:Anime Conan is set <b>314 stalled 06.07.2003</b> by AniDB. | |||
:Though they are still releasing frequently enough to qualify for <b>ongoing</b>. Now why are they marked stalled? | |||
:Like shown they released ep 314 on the 06.07.2003. AniDB is waiting for them to release ep 315. Until this happens it will be <b>stalled</b> for eternity.<br> | |||
===finished/completed=== | |||
A release will get considered complete/finished by AniDB if at least a file for the last ep gets added. | |||
AniDB compares the <b>highest</b> file with the total ep count set for the anime. If those match it's <b>finished</b>. If a group even released a file for every episode of this anime it's <b>complete</b> | |||
<i>Lets make an example to show what this means:</i><br> | |||
:[Tennis no Ouji-sama http://anidb.info/a56] | |||
:SHS finished this series, but as the last ep (178) is a doubleepisode (with 177) it won't get set <b>finished</b>, but <b>stalled</b> | |||
==Problems== | ==Problems== | ||
* | The AniDB status system obviously has various problems. | ||
: | *<b>No relations between the groups that would influence the status.</b><br><i>(example: HnG)</i><br>While there are parent child connections between groups, they are nothing more than links. There is no dataexchange between those groups. Meaning If a series is done by a Team which splits up in the middle of the release and gets finished by 1 of the 2 groups it will only get set <b>finished</b> instead of <b>completed</b><br>See also: [http://www.anidb.net/tracker/view.php?id=240 AniDB Bugtracker - stronger group relations/virtual groups] | ||
*eternally stalled rels | |||
: | *<b>eternally stalled rels caused by groups which release eps way ahead of them</b><br>(example: Conan)<br>A group releases an ep way ahead of the eps they really sub which causes AniDB to wait for a "higher" ep | ||
