this is my first wiki entry. I hope i stay within all rules. And i hope i'm not talking about something already discussed and shredded...<br>
Ok, i thought about this too. As i see it, there'll be a major change in db structure, so i just started without thinking of the current structure. The main idea is to just insert another layer between current episodes and files.<br>
<br>
I'll explain it on a few examples:<br>
1) normal case:<br>
a series has several episodes, each of these episodes has several releases, which consist each of one file.<br>
<br>
<pre>
[series]--->[episode1]--->[release]--->[file]
        |->[epsiode2]--->[release]--->[file]
        |->[epsiode3]--->[release]--->[file]
        \->[epsiode4]--->[release]--->[file]
</pre>
2) multiple files for one movie/episode:<br>
<pre>
                                  /->[file1]
                                  /
[series]--->[episode]--->[release]--->[file2]
                                  \
                                  \->[file3]
</pre>
3) one file containing several episodes:<br>
<pre>
            /->[episode1]-\
          /              \
[series]------>[episode2]----->[release]--->[file]
          \              /
            \->[episode3]-/
</pre>
4) all in the mix
<pre>
[series]--->[episode1]--->[release]--->[file1]
        |            |            |->[file2]
        |            |            \->[file3]
        |            |
        |            |->[release]--->[file]
        |            \->[release]--->[generic]
        |
        |->[episode2]--->[release]--->[generic]
        |            \
        |            |->[release]--->[file]
        |            /
        |->[episode3]--->[release]--->[generic]
        |            \
        |            |            /->[file2]
        |            |->[release]--->[file1]
        |            |            \->[file3]
        |            /
        |->[episode3]--->[release]--->[generic]
</pre>
i don't think it'd be a good idea if too many exceptions or restrictions are made. I'd also not try to calculate any percentages of how much a file covers an episode. this all leads to more complexity and thus to more "features". if all files from a release are watched, the linked episodes are watched too ... <br>
<br>
following information should be saved here:<br>
series: same as now<br>
episodes: same as now<br>
releases: everything thats now stored in the file entry but that's the same for all files of a release (e.g. subbing group, quality, bitrate, resolution, etc.)<br>
files: same as now without what's stored in the releases layer plus what additional files exist for this file (e.g. external subtitles, nfo, etc.)<br>
<br>
about subtitle files:<br>
i don't think it's a good idea to allow them to be connected to more than one file. for the cases, where several raw eps exist where the timing and evering fits perfectly i sugest to add it twice. if this is a bad idea, i'd say additional files like subtitle files, nfo files etc. should be stored in a separate table. these files can then be added to each file where they fit. i wouldn't connect them with each raw of an episode by default. I'd only allow adding them manually for each file where they match
