Weird mismatch in dates with the comic "Kanan - The Last Padawan"? #975

Closed Rawh closed 4 years ago

Rawh commented 9 years ago

Hello,

When I compare the wiki site with the comic list : http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Kanan:_The_Last_Padawan

To the Mylar found comic overview (screenshot kadan_comic), the dates dont seem to be the same? Searching on with the Mylar site, I keep on having empty results (dognzbd index site).

When using a manual search by hand on the episode I can actually find and download it.

Any idea why the dates do not add up?

Mylar shows the publication dates for all issues, which is different than the actual store date. Generally the publication dates are +1-2 months beyond the actual store date and is the date used by the indicas. This is how comicvine displays dates as well (which is where mylar pulls information from).

When searching mylar will use the store date, if that's not available then it will use the publication date. While it shows the publication dates, it also stores the store dates as well.

If you click on the Manage option at the very top, and select manage issues - change the status to whatever the kanan issue is and then find it in the list. It will show the store date and issue date.

If a publication date is wrong or listed as 0000-00-00 you can edit it by simply clicking on the date within mylar (only on the comic details page), and entering in the correct value. Mylar will then use this value if the store date was listed as 0000-00-00 which happens on really old issues, or very very new issues occasionally.

As far as empty results, it's probably due to dognzb changing the way they format the filenames - they remove brackets and replace spaces with decimals, which tends to confuse mylar and it's parsing (the removal of brackets that is). And or the file size limitations which have yet to be rolled out possibly too.

Edit. Dognzb api is on the fritz and has been for the last month or two.. They're working on moving things over to new api servers but have to hard-code a lot of the backed changes so it's taking longer than expected (misquoted generously from their forums). A lot of users have been complaining of finding stuff on the site, but the api is returning no results.

Read the edit part, cheers for explaining that. I will need to express more patience :)
