Next Episode Numbers for Two Part episodes
posted by gogetakameSTAFFMOD on aprīlis 27, 2024 at 1:37 PM
Is there a way to get the next episode number for any episode? Either a next episode API or better yet within the episode details API itself.
The problem is here: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/125935-abbott-elementary/season/3/episode/1
Abbott Elementary Season 3 premiered with a two part episode (2 episodes).
IMDb and other places have two distinct entries for this episode as episode 1 and 2, but TMDb has made it just one episode entry. The next episode number is episode 3, which isn't "intuitive".
A few questions:
- Can we split up this Season 3 2 part Episode into 2 episodes?
- Is there a way to get the exact episode number of the next episode via the Episode API: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/tv-episode-details
- Is there some way to indicate that this episode is a 2 part episode? Some way to know that it actually has two episode numbers 1, 2.
I know I could request for the appropriate season's details and then find the matching episode number and get the next episode number that way, but it would be easier if it came from the episode details API itself.
Thanks

This season premiere with a single double-length episode with a composed title. (A 2 part episode is an episode that is broadcasted in 2 separate parts).
We follow the listing of the broadcaster.
No, we can't. It was released as one single episode by the broadcaster.
No.
This is a double-length episode. So, you can use the episode duration to know that it is longer thah the other ones. But that doesn't give any informations on the number of the next episode. Some series skip number 2 in that case, other don't.
There aren't 2 episodes numbered 1 and 2. This is one single double-length episode numbered 1 with a composed title.
