Merging Films to Series
posted by MegachipSTAFFMOD on June 7, 2017 at 2:31 PM
Seems all Lindström movies where deleted, Sadly this become very inconsistant data on other sites which using tmdb (e.g. trakt). So is it possible to map the ID's of the old movies to the episodes of the new "series"?
BTW, what defines a series? The author? None of the episodes are connected. Have different actors, directors etc... why this movies become episodes?

It was decided that TV was a better fit. I know that other similar projects have entries in both sections so maybe we at least need to think this over one more time. My guess is that the fact that there are over 50 movies makes a difference. Another option would be to keep only the movies in the movie section.

Afaik most (or all) movies where deleted. The Problem with deleting, Progress (on tmdb as on trakt and others) get lost...

It's all about not keeping duplicate content. I was not involved in the deletions. Just trying to explain the general mindset here.

I deleted most of them because we decided months ago to treat them as series as most of the movie sites do https://www.fernsehserien.de/inga-lindstroem http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0920505/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

;) Thats a bad reason ;) If a lot of people did something wrong it still not getting right ;) Possible it should be more clear defined what is a movie and what is a series.
Cause ID's are unique and ongoing, these should be a (technical) possibility that the deleted films (their id) link to the episode id.
I'm also no fan of duplicates, but deduplication should be done without losing informations (like ratings, watches etc)
