:<small>hope this is actually helpful to some ppl, so I'm not just blowing off steam on a non-issue >_<</small> ... I do feel that this needs a more proper going through, if exp agrees or not, I have no clue. It also seems unclear (atleast to me) whether exp has decided on an actual design when it comes to shadow-files or if that is still up for discussion; there seems to be a few people who still has something to say about that, but atleast PetriW did seem to [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7294#7294 describe] the first of the shadow-files versions described here. | :<small>hope this is actually helpful to some ppl, so I'm not just blowing off steam on a non-issue >_<</small> ...

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 | |||
