The Movie Database Support

Hi All,

Why is somebody always removing The Langoliers as a movie? It exists as a TV Show but somebody deleted at least two times the movie entry!

In some countrys it was released as a movie. I got it even in Plex as a movie. In Germany movies like The Langoliers or Stephen King's IT were here released as a two part movie in TV. And i have only those in my library there is no season or episode or splitt....Just one movie file.

I need this entry as a movie for my automatism and im shure there are a lot more. I was not the one who added the movie again.

So Please can you make sure that it will not be deleted again? Could you make a restore?

The Langoliers was originally broadcast as a two part miniseries, so the television section is where it belongs, regardless of how it was subsequently released. The film pages were removed because they were unnecessary duplication of content.

A lot of people would be happy whit that additional entry.

Does it really hurt to have it also in the movie section? It is needed for the automation...also for the Plex Movie Library

TMDb used to allow miniseries in the film section, but the amount of duplicated content between sections became too much to maintain and it caused confusion. You could look into NFO files for your personal system, but TMDb provides our data to hundreds of different clients, and we are really trying to cut down on the amount of duplicated data that trickles down to others.
