How has nobody in the TV piracy scene figured out how to deal with Doctor Who specials numbering yet? It feels so broken in literally every piece of TV show management software I've used
The TVDB *almost* gets it right, categorizing specials by type: https://thetvdb.com/series/doctor-who-2005/seasons/official/0 -- but they then still number everything as S00, even the specials that are clearly an important part of a season narrative!
Anyway, this mini-rant brought to you by me frustratedly manually renumbering video files to the S00 format and getting the exact episode numbers wrong at least twice, because apparently it's not even a contiguous sequence
??? if the target filesystem for a move is full, SickGear just deletes the source files???
And of course Transmission has no way to restart a deleted torrent without re-adding the torrent, which you cannot actually do in the web interface because it won't let you copy the magnet link, and there's no "force start over" option
I hate software sometimes
@joepie91 restart transmission, in the process of checking torrents for validity it will restart one's with missing files.
@cadey What. I mean, I've solved it for now by using the remote GTK interface, but, what.
@joepie91 yay taxonomy problems
@joepie91 this is something i’ve only become interested in easily because programmers think like they can solve all taxonomy problems if they just make tags advanced enough. of course this technologist viewpoint makes them ignore existing librarian research
@joepie91 easily must be recently; damn old client with no edit button
Like, some of the specials belong to seasons, some of the specials *are* seasons, some of the specials are "behind the scenes" stuff and so don't fit into the main episode flow, and some specials are wholly stand-alone. You can't just glob all of those together into a huge S00 Specials category!
