Loke 4 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hello, last few times I have tried installing the anime plugin (tried in few stable / beta), it either broke something or it just didn't work. Reading a bit on the forums and the git page it seems it's not being actively maintained (outside Lukes work on it). Anyone can really comment on its status?

KMBanana 84 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have found naming everything to match tvdb's structure and just using it as the primary metadata downloader has worked best. When everything is named that way you can change the series metadata to display and sort by absolute episode number, but I usually just leave it to with tvdb's S##E## structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I think it would be best to split the anime plugin into separate plugins for each metadata provider. I started to look at doing that but it turned out to be harder than I thought because they're all kind of intertwined with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the main reason behind using the anime plugin is changing the title of the series from the English names to the Japanese ones. I faintly remember that it mentioned specifically on the settings AniDB, which it also added as a metadata provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 To be honest I don't really know the particulars of the plugin very well, I am just helping to keep it compatible with newer versions of Emby Server. That's one reason why I think separating it will be a good way forward as it will be easier for all of us to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loke 4 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know and thank you for doing that! I 'll see about trying it out with the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken-ji 0 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It seems with the current plugin in the latest stable Emby 4.1.1.0, when a new entry is added, the initial identify will fail to get any data from AniDB and always return results from other providers. I have to manually assign the AniDB series ID, for the show to be identified as such from AniDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken-ji 0 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Here we go. I removed a series, deleted the nfo files, rescanned the library. Then I replaced the series, and scanned the library. Logfile attached. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logfile attached. It looks like anidb api only supports searching by anidb id, so that's why it has to be there in order for anything to be retrieved.

ken-ji 0 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Accdg to the code of some older version of the Anime plugin, specifically the anidb provider, I see the plugin downloading / caching a DB from anidb containing the anidb id + the various titles (cache/anidb/titles.xml). The provider would then do some title matching against this database, then using the resulting id to check against the anidb API. Currently it seems the titles.xml is 0 bytes. I guess the plugin is failing to download the titles xml file for some reason. I downloaded the titles.xml file and placed it in the cache location and it seems to work already.

ken-ji 0 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 @@Luke It seems the plugin is currently broken for AniDB, as they now require a "valid" User-Agent to pull download the titles.xml file I'm not yet up to speed with the Emby Plugin as I'm a complete nood with C#, but I guess the equivalent of the HTTP client used to get the titles.xml is not showing a "valid" User-Agent Thought you'd like to know.
