Help with anime plugin

[TwistedGX 0]

Hey, i have been trying to set up my library with the anime plugin from the cataloge but it doesnt seem to fetch any metadata conserning the shows, all the shows are detected in the library just fine but they contain 0 info i tried even adding the values manually via the id link but it doesnt seem to find anything anyway. i found this https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Plugins.Anime and according to it the cataloge anime plugin is out of date it being 1.3.7 and the github one is 1.4.2 so i tried to install the one from github but i couldnt get it to work. please help!!

The version differences are according to the Server version you are running Stable or Beta.  So v1.3.7.0 applies to Stable and 1.4.2.0 applies to Beta.

Can you show complete folder structure examples as I can only see a little glimpse from here. But please keep in mind that anime is a TV library and supported naming conventions will need to be used:

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Ok, those are not supported naming conventions so i would expect that to be a problem. You'll need to manually enter season 1 for those episodes using the metadata editor.

I tried renaming the entry according to the tv guide still no change the plugin doesnt grab any metadata

current path is Anime/

                                  Overlod II/

                                                  Overlord II - S1E01

Try S01E01 instead of S1E01.

Additionally I do see some requests here to anidb, so it looks like it got something, no?

This will not work, check on the tvdb and structure it like they do and you will have an awesome collection, Plus rename your files.

Filebot is a great utility for that, https://www.filebot.net/

 

Check this pics

thats if i edit the metadata manually go show by show and add the anidb id.

tvdb identifies the animes even with my current naming the problem is that it doesnt identify all the animes thats why im trying to figure it out with anidb but ill try again

 

Edit: renaming the files as you posted in the pictures still doesnt trigger anidb metadata

I've bee a happy camper since i discovered filebot.

 

Look at this.

 

 

And this.

 

 

And these are all the places where it can get the metadata from to rename and organize.

 

 

Not trying to resell something or other lol, just recommending what has worked for me for movies and shows .... it even renames the subtitle files to match the video's name.

 

In another note, some series are a pain to organize and catalog, you need to track down the english names and crossreference that in the tvdb, moviedb and others untill you find the right one for the rename,

also the order in which you set the plugins on the library,

 

look here

 

 

should influence the metadata search and retrieval, unless some dumb bug messes things up XD

 

Hope i was of some help

If you're still having an issue and not willing to rename further and use tvdb instead, then I would suggest waiting for the upcoming 4.2 server release, after which you'll receive an updated version of the anime plugin.

 

We're reaching the limits of my anime knowledge here. The plugin is a community addition and the source code can be found here:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Plugins.Anime

 

Contributions are most welcome. I know there have been a number of changes in the plugin which you will receive after Emby Server 4.2 is released. That may end up helping here.
