Feature Changes

Currently, the Missing Episodes page reports alternate split movie episodes as missing, even when the Complete Movie episode is already present in the user's collection.

AniDB stores some movies in multiple alternative episode layouts. These are not additional content, but different ways of representing the exact same movie:

• Complete Movie (single file)
• 2-part version
  • Part 1 of 2
  • Part 2 of 2
• 3-part version
  • Part 1 of 3
  • Part 2 of 3
  • Part 3 of 3
• 4-part version
  • Part 1 of 4
  • Part 2 of 4
  • Part 3 of 4
  • Part 4 of 4

When the Complete Movie is owned, Shoko currently still reports every episode from the alternative split versions as missing.

Suggested behavior

If the Complete Movie episode is present, treat the alternative split versions as satisfied and do not report them in Missing Episodes.

The page should continue to report genuinely missing content such as:

• Specials
• Trailers
• Other episodes
• Bonus features
• Storyboards
• Making-ofs

Why this would be beneficial

The purpose of the Missing Episodes page is to show content that the user is actually missing.

Currently, users who own the complete movie are shown several "missing" episodes that are simply alternative file layouts of the same movie. This creates unnecessary clutter and false positives, making it harder to identify content that is genuinely missing.

Example series

Omoide Poroporo (AniDB 333)

Owned:

• EP1 – Complete Movie

Currently reported as missing:

• EP2–EP3 (2-part version)
• EP4–EP6 (3-part version)

---

Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi / Spirited Away (AniDB 112)

Owned:

• EP1 – Complete Movie

Currently reported as missing:

• EP2–EP3 (2-part version)
• EP4–EP6 (3-part version)
• EP7–EP10 (4-part version)

In both cases, the Complete Movie already contains all of the content represented by the split versions.

You can resolve it by hiding those episodes (it's a button). I agree there should be an easier batch method, but it'll require some thought and testing

Wont that hide all "open" missing episodes i dont see a clear buttun to hide what i am selecting?

[da3dsoul]

I took a video to illustrate. As you can see in the first click, if no episodes are selected, nothing happens. You won't break anything from mis-clicks.

That's a bug 😔
Button shouldn't be enabled if episodes are not selected

Yeah from the sound of plans we discussed, the missing episodes section, duplicates, and multiples are going to be split into their own utilities, too. I had to remember where missing files was
