Movies provider

[aahmyu 9]

Hello, 

Just wondering how come there are no anime providers in the movie library? we have them in the tv shows library and they can be used for the movies. I'm asking because there animes are not just tv shows and there are tons of movies.

So can you guys add the same anime providers to the movies sections please?

To the best of my knowledge, the Anime plugin is a community-provided add-on.  So either ask the writers to extend its availability to movies, or maybe plunge into github yourself!

However, I have a lot of anime (well over half my library, in fact), and I have found that TVDB and TMDB can handle pretty much anything I throw at them, with careful naming, so I don't use the Anime plugin myself.  Although the additional metadata sources provided by the plugin may add more detail in some areas, I have to confess that this doesn't interest me - my interest is in watching the shows or movies themselves, not in reading about them.

Finally, remember that many (obviously not all!) anime movies are associated with series, and filing those as specials alongside a series rather than in a separate movies library will provide the opportunity to acquire metadata from more providers.
