i have already started to rename my anime series, just like you told me, but i still dont know waht to copy paste? oh and btw, does anidb scrape fanart or posters?

@wentzelfcp: haha, yes indeed, I put a demo video up, because I didn't see many people separating their anime from other TV shows Wink

I have no idea about this, could be something about my youtube setting :\ Currently no plan to add videos, but if I do I'll pass you a link Wink Maybe one detailed one on adding anime from start to end if I get the time...

On topic, your anime are showing up in XBMC now? If so, you can start working on getting the episodes to show up. There's no need to rename your files if you use custom regex.

And yes,fanart and posters are scraped (they come from tvdb).

yes i tested it with a single folder, and it recognized, but now im already half way trough renaming them,(sheez) . what do you suggest? should i leave it like this , because, my one piece folder has 15 seasons. btw some of my naruto episodes, consist in 2 episodes for file,pex 47-48, what do i do to scrape them? what do i copy paste for regex?

thx

RE: [WIP] AniDB.net Anime Video Scraper - shinner - 2012-03-13 17:32

Your anime names are originally absolute numbering right? eg. Naruto 305, not S15E02 or something? If so, try to use regex, it's much less trouble.
Now, create an advancedsettings.xml file, and add this in:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <tvshowmatching action = "prepend">
        <regexp>Anime[\\/].*[/\._ \-]()([0-9]+)(-[0-9]+)?</regexp>
     </tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>
Edit the "Anime" in the code above to the name of your source folder. This regex should handle multi-episode files.

Thanks to gates' post.

thanks again , and sorry if i was a little impatient.Tongue

RE: [WIP] AniDB.net Anime Video Scraper - shinner - 2012-03-13 17:44

Yup, haha. Good luck and enjoy your anime Wink
We really need a beginner's guide to adding anime, the wiki's are too wall-of-text-y for my taste xp

Do not touch the backslashes or brackets! "Anime" is my folder name, just change it. eg. if your folder is called TV Shows, change the stuff between the <regexp></regexp> tags to
Code:
TV Shows[\\/].*[/\._ \-]()([0-9]+)(-[0-9]+)?

wentzelfcp's issue has been solved via pm (just following the steps listed in the previous posts, really).

Having trouble scraping episode info for some newer anime though (eg. Another). I pinpointed the problem to anime-list.xml, it's not mapped in there. Am I right that this file has not been updated for a while, like since late 2011?
So I'll have to use my own personal anime mapping? (It also works if I edit the xml in the cache, but then it'll get overwritten Tongue)

Edit:
If anyone has used personal anime mapping before, I could use a little help. If I enable the XBMC web server, can I place the pers-anime-list.xml locally? If so, where do I have to place it and what's the url? (http://localhost. something) And do I have to disable the default xml file?
