While updating the First Air Date and Run Times I have experienced an anomaly.
When I change to Custom Episode to make any changes, I find that all the information initially carries over seamlessly. but when I select the Edit Pencil the Air Date for that entire season disappears.
I have tried selecting Done BEFORE I select the Edit Pencil and other ways but the Air Date always disappears.
If I only needed to correct Run Times I now have to re-enter all the Air Dates.
Once re-entered, everything is fine. Its the initial selection of Custom Episode THEN editing that the Air Dates disappear. When adding Run Times only, the Air Dates disappearing creates a bit of extra work re-entering the data.
I’ve just tried this on an Android phone device, and an iOS phone device, but I can’t reproduce the issue.
What kind of device are you on?
Could you video the issue for me?
ANDROID VIDEO:
Here’s how you can make a screen recording on your Android device:
Swipe down twice from the top of your screen.
Tap “Screen record”.
If “Screen record” is not there, you might need to swipe right to find it. If it’s not there, tap “Edit” and drag “Screen record” to your Quick Settings.
Choose what you want to record and tap Start. The recording begins after the countdown.
To stop recording, swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the “Screen recorder” notification.
You can find the files in the Photos app in Library > Movies.
You can send me the file(s) via: https://clz.wetransfer.com
iOS VIDEO:
Here’s how you can make a screen recording on your iOS device:
Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap + next to Screen Recording.
Open Control Center (swipe down), tap the “Record” button, then wait for the three-second countdown.
To stop recording, tap the red status bar at the top of the screen, then tap “Stop”.
We can confirm there is a bug here indeed. We have fixed it now, and the new version (probably comes out this week) will contain the fix. Thanks for reporting this!
Much thanks for the response AJ. I do have one general question. What is the reasoning behind having the episodes listed on the Main Screen when there is an Episodes Tab ?? Seems redundant but just curious.
Attached are the Main Screen and the Episodes Tab for the series Forever Knight. All series appear to have this redundant information listed in both places. When you have a series with many episodes, it makes the scrolling on the Main Screen quite long. Not a major issue but as I mentioned, I was curious as to the purpose - in case I was missing something.
I see that. Much appreciated. However, I noticed another issue, even more labor intensive from a User view.
When selecting a Series that may need some editing on the episodes; run time, air dates etc… I have found that in the Core Episodes ALL episodes are listed. When selecting Custom Episodes what populated the area is only the First Season. (Although the small errors I was going to correct seem to correct themselves - for example Core shows 1 Hour run time yet Custom changes to 46 minute which I was going to correct)
I do have this recorded if you want to send me a Record link.
When you mark it as custom, it will first ping Core, and then download the Core episode data anew, which apparently for that series is 46 minutes.
Perhaps when this series was added it was added as 1 hour.
If you haven’t used Update from Core, it will remain at 1 hour even though Core might already have a corrected runtime.
So: when you hit Custom, it runs Update from Core to get you the latest episode list for that season with the latest data, and then you can modify it. Or switch it back to Core, and later use Update from Core to get new episode data.
Note: Update from Core will only work on series that have episodes marked as “Core” - it won’t run updates on episodes list marked as “Custom”.
