[Request Name]
Runtime without commercials
[Description]
There would be an option to count the 1 hour-long shows as 40 minutes-long shows (and 30 mintues->20 minutes) in the Time I'm wasted area, because most of us watch the series without commercials.
A separate option for every show would be very good.

Yeah, that is the only thing I miss with Myepisodes. I actually made a topic about it, that was before I saw this one. |

That won't be accurate since Tvrage doesn't log commercial time. You could cut of a few % of the show's length, but this will cause problems with shows that do not have a fixed length. |

20 minutes is not a standard runtime. Fg on HBO there are few commercials :p |

Great site. Exactly what I was looking for. THANKS!
I love the time wasted feature, and agree with this request. There could be an option in the control panel to enter any other percentage/fraction (eg. 22/30, %75) used to calculate time spent. It would just be up to each user to estimate. It's a really fun feature, but would be even more fun if it was more accurate, as many of us download or watch DVDs/itunes, etc.
Thanks again for all your work. |

I think that main problem with this request - there is no data about episode runtime without commercial.
Data source example:
http://services.tvrage.com/feeds/showinfo.php?sid=2930
In order to solve it I propose to add a personal 'MyShow options' page,
where user will be able to configure different aspects of the show.
One of them will be 'runtime without commercial', default value:
- most common number for this show from all users
- otherwise runtime with commercial
And on page http://myepisodes.com/life_wasted.php for 'Runtime' use 'default' value, or value given by user. |
