[edit] Editing an Episode
Episode editing is a rather straightforward affair as most of the field names are self explanatory although there are a few that need further explanation.
Episode Number
While one would think that the episode number would be a simple affair there are several different ways that someone might choose to number the episodes on this site episodes are numbered in the order they aired on TV. That being said the site does provide two alternative numbering methods.
Episode Name & Overview
Both of these fields have the additional option of specifying their contents in languages other than English. Simply change the dropdown menu beneath either option to the language of your choice and you will be able to enter data in that language which can then be retrieved by the plugin of your choice.
Guest Stars, Director & Writer Fields
These fields have special requirements for multiple guest stars, directors or writers.
If there are multiple items for the fields e.g. if an episode has multiple writers then the field needs to begin with a pipe ( | ) character plus have one between each item and then end with another so the example writers would be entered as |David Weddle|Bradley Thompson|
Production Code
This is simply the studio production code often found in the closing credits of an episode.
DVD Disc ID & DVD Chapter
These fields are currently unused.
DVD Season, DVD Episode Number & Absolute Number
These fields are used for the alternate episode ordering methods see
