It's been over five years, this really should be getting fixed now!

It's been over five years, this really should be getting fixed now!

Then please help fix the episodes @mclassen vandalized over five year ago.

I think you slightly misunderstood this situation, @banana_girl. 🤔 Episodes 1 to 13 are correct, so @mclassen did nothing wrong. It's the following episodes (14-39) which are wrong and should get deleted. Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to do so. Could you help us out?

Edit: The same goes for:

• Season 2 - Episodes 28 to 101
• Season 3 - Episodes 19 to 54
• Season 4 - Episodes 17 to 48
• Season 5 - Episodes 17 to 55
• Season 6 - Episodes 17 to 44
• Season 7 - Episodes 17 to 48

@banana_girl have perfectly understood the situation.

I invite you read here the segments part of our rules.

I quote "For kids cartoon with two or three distinct stories (segments) per half-hour, each episode should be split so that each segment is an episode. For example, "Going the Extra Milo / Sunny Side Up" should be two episodes. The main reason for splitting the segments is that segments are often released individually and/or paired with a different segment in subsequent releases.".

I have to say I'm not a big fan of this rule (at least in Garfield's case here), as the "episodes" belong together thematically and subsequently are hard to separate (there are even small transitioning clips of around 15 to 30 seconds between the different main parts, where would you put these according to your cited rule?). All the other metadata providers group them together for this exact reason. 🤔

The segmentation has been completely restored.

You are wrong : TVDB and Wikipedia also list the episodes with segmentation.

Huh, seems you're right about TVDB. But Wikipedia doesn't list them as different episodes, but as different "segments" of the same episode (which TMDB unfortunately doesn't support, this would solve the problem). What would your solution for the transitioning clips look like?

As with all segmentation cases, there is nothing special to do. You keep your episode files unmodified and name them as multi-episodes files with the segments that are inside them. The clips remain in the file with the associate segments.
