I think the problem with missing episodes comes from the fact that there's a reference to the characters section in GetEpisodeList. If a show has no characters listed, then the whole thing will come up blank.
Specifically, this part:
Code:
(?i)<characters>.*?</characters>.*?<episodes>(.*?)</episodes>

I can see why it was done, because there can be episodes tags within the characters section also, and so you need to specify the one outside of it. As a fix all I did was change it to refer to the closing anime tag (which seems to always come straight after):
Code:
(?i)<episodes>(.*?)</episodes>\s</anime>
There's probably a better way to do it, but that seems to work.
I hope that helps.

I think scudlee is onto something.Looked up some of the offending shows and none of them had a cast, whereas the shows that I could remember that had no issue all had character data.

This does have the exception of Basquash which does have characters but initially failed, a refresh on that one however did get them back.

I can still post debug logs if you like but it may take some time. Last night I finally managed to isolate some major network issues I am having to my router, so I've taken that offline until I can replace it.

At first glance it looks like he is right, I changed this part in last update. I'll look at it evening when I get home.
And I don't think you need to post log if you have issues only with animes without cast.

1.3.1:
Fixed: Corrected problem with no episodes scarped for Animes without cast

I am getting banned from anidb by using this plugin, everytime i use it Sad

Why, i want only to add my collection to xbmc one time and then after some time I want to update the folder and thats all.

But i get always a "banned" error. Even if i want to refresh a single TV Show manually Sad

Please help.


I am using latest xbmc unstable on ubuntu 11.04 and latest plugin version.

*Edit:
Seems i was too fast for posting a issue, because i removed the temp files from the scraper folder and now it works fine.

Hopefully i dont get banned anymore.....

As I wrote page or two ago this is something I have no chance to change, how often is scraper called depends solely on XBMC. When it's, for some reason, too often you will get temporarily banned on AniDB.net http api. It happened to me too some time ago, so I hardcoded 10sec waiting directly to XBMC scraper code. Unfortunately it's "hack" solution not suitable for publishing.

First off, thanks for this scrapper, it has made my anime collection that much more lively!

Is there a support FAQ somewhere?
I have a few animes that is not being picked up in library mode and I've checked the name against anidb.net, so not sure what else to check.

One of which is Fairy Tail

What else should i be checking?
