[WIP] AniDB.net Anime Video Scraper

gates · 2012-01-24 21:16

hi,

@bambi, i guess Smile

In xbmc_video database, the table "tvshow" contains a column "c12"
In "c12" column contains the thetvdb-ID.
When you export mediatheque into .nfo file, this thetvdb-ID is between <id></id> balise.

Without this information in database, you can use extrafanart/artwork downloader addons.

Do you think is-it possible with anidb scrapper to get and put thetvdb-id in xbmc_video database ?

by the way, thx for this wonderwull scrapper
(with appropriate advancedsettings, it matches 100% of my media (100+ anime))

Since no entry exists in anidb for "FateZero", the lookup fails. Any way to get this to work?

On a different note, someone really needs to put an introduction to get this scraper to work in a wiki, almost everyone posting here has the exact same problem.

Quick fix: try renaming it to Fate-Zero, it works for my Fate/Stay Night series.

Agreed on the wiki. Anyone with the know how to write one? I can share a little of my experiences (which is not a lot ^^').

I dug through many pages of this thread and actually found that this regex seems to pick up everything in my anime arsenal except for multi-part anime episodes. For instance, Naruto Shippuuden 135-136 gets picked up as episode 136 only.

All the files follow the pattern below and are recognized without problems except for multi-part episodes, e.g.: [Taka]_Naruto_Shippuuden_135-136.mp4

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Code:

<advancedsettings>

<tvshowmatching action="prepend">

<regexp>anime[\\/].*[/\._ \-]([0-9]+)</regexp>

</tvshowmatching>

</advancedsettings>

I second this, it'd make getting artwork much easier. Is the anidb id in the <id></id> tags used by the way? Is it ok to put the tvdb id there instead?

gates · 2012-03-10 20:23

From my experience (over 100 anime), <id></id> tags was often empty.
Somtimes, it was the anidb.net ID.

Fanart.tv use the same ID than thetvdb, so it will be smart to put this ID instead.

hi, this is my first time here in the forum. for quite some time now, i have been searching the net,for help on how to scrape anime with the anidb.net scraper, and havent found a clue.

hi thankx for the fast reply. but i dont know anything about regexp, or programming, i dont even know where to start,so can you give me a little push, tip?

shinner · 2012-03-13 12:30

That's weird though, because even if you don't have any custom regex, xbmc should still pick up the tv shows (just not episodes). I tried with an empty folder and it detected the show.

First things first, how are your files named and organized? Each show should have its own folder. Eg, mine are like this:

Code:

Anime TV (root folder)

      -- Baccano! (folder)

            --Baccano 01.mkv (file)

             --Baccono 02.mkv

      -- Blood+ (folder)

            --Blood+ 01.mkv (file)

etc. "Anime TV" is then added as a TV source in XBMC.

Once you get the shows detected, you either need to rename all your files (eek!), or follow the custom regex method outlined by Gates. It's not that hard, you just need to follow the instructions. You don't need to understand how regex works, just copy and paste Tongue
