Line 1: Line 1:
A multi-episode file is a file with at least 2 episodes. Those are troublesome as AniDB can only associate 1 Episode to 1 File atm. Add the episodes like described in the [[Content:Episodes|How to add new episodes]]-guideline, but with with the following episode titles.
AniDB used to be unable to cope well with files containing more than 1 episode. This is no longer the case, but unfortunately there are still remnants left behind from when it couldn't. Those include [[Files:Split-episode files|split-episode files]] as well as multi-episode files which we will cover here. Nowadays, we follow the [[Content:Episodes|how to add new episodes]]-guideline exclusively.


There are 2 cases we have to consider for this. In both people of course still have to add [[Files:Generic_files|generic files]] to their lists. That workaround can't be avoided.
There were 2 ways these files were added to the DB:
 
===Case 1 - The release is done completely in multi-episode files===
==Case 1 - The release is done completely in multi-episode files==
If a group releases all episodes in multi-episode files (e.g. [http://anidb.info/a330 Future Boy Conan]), these files were added to specials O (Other Episodes)
If a group releases all episodes in multi-episode files (e.g. [http://anidb.info/a330 Future Boy Conan]), these files should generally be added to specials O (Other Episodes)


:<tt>Episode[s] xx-yy</tt>
:<tt>Episode[s] xx-yy</tt>
Line 18: Line 17:
:* O2: Episodes 1-3 (Part 2 of 2)</tt>
:* O2: Episodes 1-3 (Part 2 of 2)</tt>


==Case 2 - Only a few files are done in multi-episode files==
===Case 2 - Only a few files are done in multi-episode files===
If a group releases just ''some'' files that contain multiple episodes (e.g. the multi-episodes in [http://anidb.info/a56 Prince of Tennis]). These files should be added to the first episode they contain and a [[Content:Filecomments|filecomment]] in this form should be added:

==Additional note to reduce confusion==
{{h4|Why is Ebichu 24 episodes when Azumanga Daioh is 26 episodes? }}<br>
<i><small>Ebichu was aired 2 episodes at a time; Azumanga Daioh was aired 5 episodes at a time</small></i>
This question can be answered pretty fast by checking their Japanese homepages.
:* Ebichu is mentioned on the page as having 24 episodes. It was also released on 4 DVDs with 6 episodes per DVD. Can be seen here: [http://www.gainax.co.jp/anime/awaawa/] and more clearly here (purple box): [http://www.gainax.co.jp/soft/awadvd/index.html]
:* Azumanga Daioh is '''very''' clearly marked as 26 episodes with 5 chapters per episode. Can be seen here: [http://www.imagica.com/shop/azumanga/episode/ep_index.html]
