XBMC MAL Updater Plugin

With XBMC knowing what we have watched and playback progress and being able to create queue lists ect

is their any way to create a plugin that will have XBMC update myanimelist when we have completed watching a file / import a show into a plan to watch que

MAL has an API for being able to change / read our profiles and search db for show details ect

I am just unsure why no ones even bothered trying this yet ?

http://myanimelist.net/modules.php?go=api#

http://mal-api.com/docs/

Queue* sorry, that was annoying me (I really try not to be a spelling troll, honest! I can barely spell myself! It's just one of those little things, you know...)

More importantly!

I ran into this want myself recently, as I have always trouble remembering to update my account. So, I took a crack at it. "plugin" is a little bit kind, to say the least, right now, it's actually independent of XBMC other than calling the json rpc api, but I do plan to make it a plugin, eventually. If you want to help test it and play with it, here's the github: https://github.com/kuruoujou/XBMal

I've only tested it in ubuntu 11.10 with Eden, so your results may (and probably will, particularly with windows and mac) vary. I'll be happy to entertain feedback, though.

Just used the branch script

woohoo it worked !


Great Job

Great! Glad to hear it. I'm a little interested in why it disliked your mysql database, but I'm not sure why that would have been.

Good luck on your car!

it might have been my extra profiles
verified it working with fresh external mysql database

any way to use an exact naming match

https://github.com/Manromen/script.Trakt...i/Download

might have some useful bits of code as well

if only they had an option to export / import to/from MAL

That could be useful, though I don't know how well trakt matches the tvdb. The biggest issue with MAL is that it's not very structured. If it had a consistent naming scheme with second seasons, third seasons, etc. or some way to filter out those seasons, /and/ all of the specials were combined (or, alternatively, the tvdb separates the specials appropriately), then it wouldn't be too bad at all. Getting the two to work together isn't an easy thing to do.

I'll certainly take a look at it though, once I get a v0.2 out, which should be today or tomorrow (and should be an actual XBMC plugin!)

Quick edit: v0.2 is out, and is now an /actual/ XBMC plugin! Whoo! Lemme know if you have any problems.

A new post for an important update?

Maybe I should make a new thread in addon development or something. Ah, well...

I've released a new version of xbmal, along with a repository to go with it. The new version uses an xml file instead of a flat file to store configuration, so you'll need to run the setup script again. However, the xml file allows for faster future additions.

For the time being, I can't update the XBMC wiki due to some weird akismet error that's happening left and right. So, I can't add the addon or the new repository to it, which means the repository auto-installer can't pick up my repository (how sad *sniff*), at least until it's fixed. However, if you want to add the repository, it's available on my github: https://github.com/kuruoujou/kuroshi-xbmc-repo, and a direct link to the zip file: https://github.com/kuruoujou/kuroshi-xbm...-1.0.0.zip

Once you add the repository, you can install xbmal from the "get addons" screen, along with any other addons I may eventually make. You can also install the add-on directly using it's zip file, which is available from the same github.

Enjoy ^_^

Update: Thanks to Ned Scott, I can now edit the wiki! As such, the Repository Installer addon can now install my repository! Enjoy!

sadly not much in the logs to help solve this but I can not get into MAL with this new setup username / pass is correct and also manually added it into the settings.xml file default="" and it still did not work

Hmmm...Well, let's see what we can do here to fix this.

Since you say you edited the default attribute in the settings file, I assume you mean the one in [addons directory]/script.xbmal/resources/settings.xml. The first thing you should do is double check your username and password in [userdata]/addon_data/script.xbmal/settings.xml. If those are wrong, then you've found the problem.

If those are correct, try replacing [addons directory]/script.xbmal/resources/lib/request.py with this one: https://github.com/kuruoujou/XBMal/raw/m...request.py and restarting XBMC. Assuming MAL still doesn't log in (it will sometimes refuse to log in if you try to do so in rapid succession, within a minute or so of a previous login), post your xbmc log to http://xbmclogs.com/ and put the link here.

Hopefully I can get it running for you soon!
