Getting episode runtime not available?
Skrevet af HM101STAFFMOD d. 23 februar 2016 kl. 9:53 AM
Hi,
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to get the episode runtime data for a given episode.
Having a look here: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#reference/tv-episodes/tvidseasonseasonnumberepisodeepisodenumber/get
it appears that the episode runtime is not supplied. Is this correct? If so, would it be possible to include episode runtime information in the API since the data is already available on the TMDB website/database?
Would appreciate any support.
Thank you.

Hi HM101,
We don't have per episode runtimes, right now they are added as a field on the TV series level. They're meant to be more of a indication of the general length of a show as opposed to actual individual values for each episode.
I have an open ticket here to think about allowing per episode values.
Cheers.

Btw it would already help to have them on the season level, if that's any easier. As most of the times that's where the big differences are. With the exception of specials obviously.
