Movies with several parts
објављено од стране knariSTAFFMOD дана 04. јул 2022. у 12:53 PM
Hey! I have an issue. In my local library, I have several Soviet videos consisting of several parts. It is like episodes but it is actually one movie. In the DB they are presented as movies, but in reality (and in my library) there are several video files, one per each part. And I can't properly get info for them as I can't recognize them properly. It is very similar to mini-series, but is there any way to use the DB for such movies? Or should I create mini-series for them instead (even taking into account that the movies themselves are presented in the DB already)?

It will be easier to answer you if you give some examples.

According to Wikipedia
Guest from the Future was originally released as TV miniseries and Marry Poppins, Goodbye as two part TV movie, so both belong to our TV section, where you can actually find them:
Movie entries are duplicates and as such are planned to be merged to TV entries.

Note:
If the movies were originally released theatrically, they should be kept in our movie section as separate movie entries (single entry can be used only if the segments were screened with close release dates).

Thank you. So, the normal way is to add them as mini-series with episodes. Got it

This answer apply to the 2 examples you have given.
The normal way is to search how they were originally released and add them according to this.

One question. There is another movie with 2 sections: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/20874?language=ru-RU It was originally released theatrically as one movie, even having two sections. Now I see that it is presented ONLY in Movie section of the DB. Can I create another record in the TV Shows section as well, as a mini-series with two episodes?

If it was originally released theatrically as one movie, you can't create a record in the TV section for it. We only take in account the way it was originally released.
