Hi, I can seem to get Anime description to show in English. Normal Movies and TV series are fine so i think it's the plugin. Emby: Version 3.5.3.0 Anime plugin: Version 1.2.8.0 Could some one give me some advise?

Hey, I installed emby a few days ago as a replacement to plex, since emby can transcode my anime faster than plex can, and emby looks tons nicer, although i'm running into an exception I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose. Using Emby 4 on Windows 7. The main exception is: 2019-01-21 20:04:33.426 Error App: Error in Proxer *** Error Report *** Version: 4.0.0.2 Command line: C:\Users\Sasha\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll -noautorunwebapp Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True User Interactive: True Processor count: 2 Program data path: C:\Users\Sasha\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application directory: C:\Users\Sasha\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system System.MissingMethodException: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void MediaBrowser.Common.Net.HttpRequestOptions.set_ResourcePool(System.Threading.SemaphoreSlim)'. at MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime.Providers.Proxer.ProxerSeriesImageProvider.GetImageResponse(String url, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ItemImageProvider.DownloadImage(BaseItem item, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, IRemoteImageProvider provider, RefreshResult result, IEnumerable`1 images, Int32 minWidth, ImageType type, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ItemImageProvider.RefreshFromProvider(BaseItem item, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, IRemoteImageProvider provider, ImageRefreshOptions refreshOptions, TypeOptions savedOptions, Int32 backdropLimit, ICollection`1 downloadedImages, RefreshResult result, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime TargetSite: System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[MediaBrowser.Common.Net.HttpResponseInfo] GetImageResponse(System.String, System.Threading.CancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime.Providers.Proxer.ProxerSeriesImageProvider.GetImageResponse(String url, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ItemImageProvider.DownloadImage(BaseItem item, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, IRemoteImageProvider provider, RefreshResult result, IEnumerable`1 images, Int32 minWidth, ImageType type, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ItemImageProvider.RefreshFromProvider(BaseItem item, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, IRemoteImageProvider provider, ImageRefreshOptions refreshOptions, TypeOptions savedOptions, Int32 backdropLimit, ICollection`1 downloadedImages, RefreshResult result, CancellationToken cancellationToken) I could attempt to work on this plugin myself since it's coded in C#, but I was hoping someone else might have a clue how to fix this before I start hacking away at it. Oh also, if I click "Edit Images" on a series and click the search icon, it loads them fine that way. Thank you!

Hello, I'm experiencing problems with a particular anime. .Hack//SIGN is known for being difficult in general due to the strange way the title is written. It's almost impossible to find online as it is without knowing how to spell it. I've found the correct variations that trigger Emby to identify it correctly, however when I identify, refresh the metadata, and try to change it, I keep getting stuck with a crappy new show called Hack which I've never heard of and couldn't care less about. Emby simply WILL NOT CHANGE my show to the correct one. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I tried to remove the anime, rename to folder, scan using the correct variation, and EVEN AFTER FINDING IT FRESHLY SCANNED, it still defaults to this crappy show and refuses to let me change it!!! UGH!!!!

I noticed that when i want to watch anime that has embedded subs (mkv) that are recognized as unknown language, Roku wont allow me to use them. is this a limitation of the app or a bug? I set it to the sub but nothing appears on the screen.

Hey there other datahoarders and dev from the emby community. I have been using emby for a little while but i had issues with users loging in to my account even though i changed my password every single time and only i knew it and i grew tired of it and before i wrote a topic someone said to me to try plex and i did it.\ Although that problem was solved i just couldn't come to love plex and the shit thats been happening there now so i came back and to my happiness i saw some very nice changes. Love it keep up the great work. Now to my problem. There seem to be some kind of misalignment i might say not quite sure tbh with the subtitles in anime haven't tested with series and movies since i only have anime. What's happening is when i'm not in full screen subs are in right position but when in full screen subs somehow kinda end up almost in the middle of screen. This happens to all anime not a singularity or a bad patch or download. Photos in the attached section. Anyone has any ideas as to why?

Hello Emby Team I watch a lot of animes but only with the original soundtrack and subtitles, because German dubs really suck. So it would be really great if it is possible to select a default language for every library, so for example for Movies its German but for Animes its Japanese with German subs. I hope this would be possible. Greez Ebrithil

Solution: Grab from plugin catalog, since the latest changes have been published. The plugin does not automatically identify any series. The plugin successfully fetches the animetitles.xml, and the anime-list.xml, and also fetches the series from anidb.net and places it into the cache/anidb/series/{aid} folder on scan/identify by name/aid. However it never identifies the series! 1. Create folder called "Strike the Blood" 2. Scan library 3. Check for "cache\anidb\series\9772" 4. Open the library and you will see it has not identified the series, but it has all the required information. 5. Manually identify with AniDB Id "9772" and you will get no results. (If you use the name to identify it the results are not for anidb and you will not have an anidb.net source under the name) Note: If you identify by name/aid the aid will get fetched and placed into the cache/anidb/series/{aid} folder but it will not be in the identify results. Other Issue: The plugin is not listed under my plugins where you could configure it in like MB2. Create any series from http://anidb.net/api/animetitles.xml and try for yourself.

I hope this is the right place to put this topic in, I haven't posted before and it felt like the most relevant place. I use Emby regularly, and I primarily watch subbed anime. And as with any tv/movie style there will sometimes be multiple things conveyed on screen. So the problem is that whenever there is a large amount of subtitles on screen (Large being above the average single line) the web app will freeze up. So when a sign with multiple slanted lines of text shows up the app freezes on that frame without showing the subtitles and the audio continues without me being able to pause it. Another example from today: The episode ends and the ending theme plays, with one line horizontally in English and one vertically in Japanese. The video plays but the subs freeze and the controls don't show up when I move the mouse or click. On a related note; is split OP/ED+EP, which is common for blu-ray anime releases, in planning at all? Please excuse if my English is wrong anywhere.

The anime plugin adds additional TV show metadata providers for anime series. Data is currently provided by AniDB and AniList. Features include: Choose between localized, Japanese, or romaji titles for series and episodes. More extensive cast lists, including additional roles such as character designer and composer. Additional anime-specific genres, such as "Mecha" and "Slice of Life". Supports organizing sequels as either additional seasons (the default Emby behaviour), or as independent series. Organizing your Media There are two organization standards supported by the plugin: AniDB or TheTVDB. In both cases, Emby will be capable of fetching metadata from all sources, however the TVDB format is recommended due to limitations in Emby's file parsing schemes for special episodes with absolute episode numbers. You can mix organization formats between different series. It is important that your episode numbers match however they appear on TheTVDB or AniDB, respectively, depending on which structure you are using. TheTVDB TheTVDB typically organises each related anime into its own season under a top-level series group. For example, the Monogatari franchise, Bakemonogatari and its sequels (Nisemonogatari, Bakemonogatari: Second Season, and Owarimonogatari) are each represented as seasons 1 to 4 of "Bakemonogatari": Use this format if you want to group related series together as "seasons". Monogatari/ Season 1/ Bakemonogatari s01e01.mkv Bakemonogatari s01e02.mkv Season 2/ Nisemonogatari s02e01.mkv Nisemonogatari s02e02.mkv Season 3/ Bakemonogatari Second Season s03e01.mkv Bakemonogatari Second Season s03e02.mkv Season 4/ Owarimonogatari s04e01.mkv Owarimonogatari s04e02.mkv AniDB AniDB represents each sequel as its own anime series, with no seasons. To organize your media by AniDB format, use absolute episodes without season folders. Use this format if you want each anime to appear as its own series. Bakemonogatari/ Bakemonogatari ep01.mkv Bakemonogatari ep02.mkv Nisemonogatari/ Nisemonogatari ep01.mkv Nisemonogatari ep02.mkv Bakemonogatari Second Season/ Bakemonogatari Second Season ep01.mkv Bakemonogatari Second Season ep02.mkv Owarimonogatari/ Owarimonogatari ep01.mkv Owarimonogatari ep02.mkv

Trying to install the Anime plug-in. Says I need to restart Emby server after install. After restart the plug-in is gone though, as if I never installed it. Anyone else had this problem? (works fine with other plug-ins) Regards //Peter

These are long overdue but they are finally here. I have created 89 109 genre/tag icons for anime to share with the community to use in tandem with the anime server plugin created by @@Aphid Design I used a "japanese brush" font and placed sakura petals flowing over the icon to give it an overall Japan feel. I know it might be cliche but when browsing from Movie -> TV -> Anime views I wanted the user to immediately recognize what view they were on. Anime sets itself apart from other media types (Movies, TV) as it has a genre/tag for practically everything. I meticulously attempted to give each genre an accurate representation whether it is an emotion or scenario by selecting the proper images that might fit such as the example above "Angst".

Hi there, I've started trying to use Emby today, however i'm experiencing issues scraping metadata for Anime episodes. I have installed the Anime plugin (version 1.0.5740.36986) and made sure that the metadata providers prioritise AniDB. However, whilst metadata for the overall series is correctly picked up, no metadata is present for the individual episodes. They are assigned Season and Episode numbers based off their resolution (e.g. Season 1920, Episode 1080) with no titles, descriptions etc. My media is organised in the following fashion; Air\ Air - 01 - Breeze [Doki][BluRay][1280x720][h264][77D45BED].mkv Air - 02 - Town [Doki][BluRay][1280x720][h264][FEECD6B6].mkv Clannad\ Clannad - 01 - On the Hillside Path Where the Cherry Blossoms Flutter [THORA][BluRay][1920x1080][h264][B219AF8B].mkv Clannad - 02 - The First Step [THORA][BluRay][1920x1080][h264][37EFCBA6].mkv Turning on debug logs highlights a problem with the AniDB scraper; 2015-12-12 18:58:27.2078 Error App: Error in AniDB *** Error Report *** Version: 3.0.5781.5 Command line: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe -programdata /var/lib/emby-server -restartpath /usr/lib/emby-server/restart.sh Operating system: Unix 3.13.0.71 Processor count: 4 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True Program data path: /var/lib/emby-server Mono: 4.2.1 (Stable 4.2.1.102/6dd2d0d Thu Nov 12 09:52:44 UTC 2015) Application Path: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe Method 'BaseItem.get_People' not found.

I'd love to switch over to using Emby as my backend, it seems perfect other than this small issue! Thanks in advance.

i have been attempting to get my EMBY server to find the correct information for anime titles but seem to be having problems. At first i was able to manually select the information but it would not add it in to the files after that i realised that i was adding what was actually the second season but would normally be listed as a different name, this made emby recognise the files and download a picture but then called the correctly names folder season 1 and used the first season picture (The same one as the root folder art) i do not know if i have entere the information wrong or if it is something else but my files are listed as such. EMBY >Anime >Freezing (this one has a correct picture) >Freezing Vibration ( have also tried (season 2) (Season 2 [Freezing Vibration]) both with no effect. >OVA (Uses the same picture) (is listed inside the season 2 folder it will add them to the season list.) What i would like to know is if there is a way for emby to pick up the information and input it and if there is a way for it to recognise OVA normally and not think they are normal season episodes Most of the anime that i have added so far worked normally and found all of the info

Hi. What I'm using emby is for mostly hollywoods movies, some american TV shows, and many Japan Animes, Korean TV shows. The problem is, the TV contents other than USA's are not recognized good enough by current TV episode naming conventions (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/TV-naming) even though metadata system works very well with correct season/episode numbers. Here's the example: - An.American.Show.S01E04.PROPER.720p.HDTV.x265.AnonymousRelease.mkv -> Season 1, Episode 4 (OK) - [AnonymousRelease] A Japanese Anime - 05 RAW (TX 1280x720 x264 AAC).mp4 -> Season 1280, Episode 720 (Wrong) - A.Korean.Show.E37.160109.HDTV.H264.720p-AnonymousRelease.mp4 -> Season 1601, Episode 09 (Wrong) Honestly it is fun sometimes to fix them manually, but it would be better if it can be done by itself. Is there any method to control naming convention? If not, is there anyone provide the way to change it or add various contents type other than just "TV"? - Current Emby server version in using: 3.0.5849.22633

Im very new to MBS. I have it installed as a docker on an unraid box. I have three paths setup /movies, /tv, /anime. I have three views setup movies, tv, anime. Movies and tv all imported perfectly and i can click on thier respective views and see everything. However My anime is not showing up. If i click on the view there is nothing there. If i go into the metadata media folder tree structure i can see a folder named anime but again it is empty. I did notice that when i select "display a folders view to display plain media files" that it added a fourth view to the home screen called "folders" and if click on that it displays anime, tv, movies and i can see a poster image for the anime folder but there is still no content within the folder.

@@Aphid Can a filter list be added to the anime plug-in that would allow users to manually add the tags they wish to filter out when fetching the metadata? For example, Dragon Ball has some tags/genres that I dont particularly care for such as "Pantsu", "Nudity". I would like to still be able to fetch ALL the genres but at the same time filter out the ones that probably are not necessary to include. The feature could be a text box where the user has to type the tag/genre they wish to filter out. The other method is if the plug-in can fetch the list from anidb somehow then that could work too by allowing the user to move the tags from the ALLOWED box to the REMOVE box. Both methods would work fine but I imagine the first suggestion would be easier to implement. Why not just use the genre cleaner plugin for this? Explained here

Hi, I've discovered MediaBrowser3 recently, i love it, especially the Auto organize functionality But I want to know if this functionality can work with Anime. I explain when I download an episode of an anime it is named in the following manner: [Team] Name The Serie - Episode Number (Quality) .extension But the number of the episode follows the numbering of AniDB (in whom there is no season) and not theTVDB For example: Naruto Shippuden S01E01 on theTVDB will be Naruto Shippuden 001 on AniDB Naruto Shippuden S16E30 on theTVDB will be Naruto Shippuden 378 on AniDB Auto Organize function fails to recognize the episode in order to move and rename it correctly I want to know if it's possible to configure the Auto Organize function to search on AniDB when it does not find a match with theTVDB? Thank you.

Once upon a time, I had this series properly identified. I suspect that was back in my XBMC/pre-MB3 days. Now, I cannot for the life of me to get any scrapers to find this show. It is an anime show, so I tried running with just AniDB and AniList running. I tried running with just the TVDb scraper. I tried entering TheTVDb ID, but that did not override the scraper like it does if I run a movie search using the TheMoveDb. So, I'm wondering, since the show actually resides in the online databases, how can I force it to go find the right show? I've tried various keywords in the title. I've tried the entire title. I've tried combining words with AniDb and TheTVDb ID# entries. Nothing seems to force the scraper to look where it should. Here's the show: Space Pirate Captain Herlock: Outside Legend - The Endless Odyssey It's AniDB entry 533 At The TVDb it is entry 81506 Found here I'm open to any suggestions as to how I can get this properly scraped. I'm at my wit's end trying to force it to find a way to redirect the scrapers to the right location.

I just finish reading the topic that was locked but im in the same boat and have yet to find a solution. In the audio setting if i leave ac3 ticked, WMC is unable to play the video but if i test the same video via graphstudio64 , it plays just fine and bitstreams. If i untick ac3, WMC plays the file but in PCM. Also im having issues with anime. Both the english and jap audio will play at the same time.

Note: This issue was sort of described in this topic but I have started a new topic to more directly describe the issue and the plug-in in detail. @@Aphid hope you read this. Issue: Ever since installing the Anime plugin (awesome by the way since it adds so much missing information) it has started to replace many of my covers from many anime series. Even after putting the covers back how I want them, every 24 hours or so they would revert back to what the anime plugin finds. How do I know this? Covers found from server (thetvdb) Cover that I selected and fetched from thetvdb Every day or so I find that the Cover changes to one that is not available from thetvdb Looked at sources for Anime plugin and found AniDB A search for the item anidb revealed the cover that was being used to replace thetvdb covers Log snippet: 2013-11-26 04:00:47.2583, Debug, ProviderManager, Running AnimeSeriesProvider for \\Star-pc\tv\Anime\Dragon ball GT 2013-11-26 04:00:47.2583, Debug, AniDB, Identified Dragon Ball GT as AniDB ID 233 2013-11-26 04:00:47.2583, Debug, ProviderManager, Running AniDbSeriesImagesProvider for \\Star-pc\tv\Anime\Dragon ball GT 2013-11-26 04:00:47.2653, Debug, AniDbSeriesImagesProvider, Downloading primary image for Dragon Ball GT from http://img7.anidb.net/pics/anime/332.jpg 2013-11-26 04:00:47.2653, Info, App, HttpClientManager.Get url: http://img7.anidb.net/pics/anime/332.jpg 2013-11-26 04:00:47.4124, Debug, ProviderManager, Saving image to \\Star-pc\tv\Anime\Dragon ball GT\folder.jpg I have attached the portion of the log where it shows doing this. Maybe there needs to be an option to only replace missing artwork if it finds preexisting images?

@Aphid Earlier this week I wanted to add the anime specific genres to each show and what I found was that almost all the series had their episode metadata overwritten. For example the Dragon Ball collection, I have each series (Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT) in their own series folder but the plugin assumes that the seasons located in Dragon Ball are the DBZ and DBGT so it gives it wrong episode metadata. I realized this too late the way it expects the multi show series to be organized like Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, Digimon etc. I spent the week putting the metadata back for all my shows and then locked everything. Then I saw the new features added to the updated plugin "move excess genres to tags" and "tidy plugin". Thank you for that by the way, really appreciate it. So with that I decided I was going to add all those new genres to the shows but I proceeded to unlock only the series.xml (parent level) and the episodes contained " <LockData>true</LockData>". On the metadata editor in media browser web client it would show the seasons and episodes as locked but not the series folder which is what I wanted in order to fetch the new genres. Well I ran a refresh and when it was all over I found that the metadata for all the episodes were changed again.

@@Aphid I have started allowing the plug-in to add the anime specific genres to each series but I noticed something. It appears to limit the amount of "tags" added as genres to each series. Is there a way to get all the tags turned into genres, at least having the option to do so? We can use the Genre Cleaner plugin to remove any unwanted genres. For example in "Vision of Escaflowne" it lists Genres:Fantasy / Mecha / Romance / Shoujo / Anime Tags: Adventure / Transforming Robot / Dragon / Angst / Steampunk / Alternative Present / Parallel Universe / Piloted Robot / Fantasy World / Shoujo / Action / Sci-Fi I would like those tags to be Genres as well if possible. I notice that some of the genres also appear under tags and vice versa so couldn't we have all the tags become genres and the genres become tags?

Just noticed recently, suddenly all of the series posters of my Anime series "disappeared". It actually didn't disappear, but it changed, and was only saved as poster, not folder. I'm assuming since I just recently installed the Anime plugin, that it is was updated new info for my Anime, but it's odd that it replaced/removed the posters, but also that only posters was saved. I'm not sure if this is an issue with xbmc metadata saver as well, but I'd say something is amiss. Thanks edit: It actually decided Eureka (syfy show) was Eureka Seven and changed a bunch of metadata. I would definitely default to not changing, only adding on.
