...Aaaaargh....

I don't think the scrapers are updating over the 2.0.0rc1. Can anyone confirm?

From what I read on the wiki, "2.0.0" should be treated as newer than "2.0.0rc1", but I'm suspecting now that's not the case.

If it definitely isn't happening, I'll push an emergency 2.0.1 version to (hopefully) force an update.

(It updates fine over 1.1.1).

Hi,

I had a similar problem with a skin update.
I have to erase the ./addons/package/skin.name files/directory
I'm not sure that's it. I'm at work atm.

Version bump to 2.0.1 seems to have fixed it.

I told you the point releases would come thick and fast once 2.0.0 was released! Rofl

Q: What is the best practice to add OVAs with only one Episode (listed in aniDB like that)?
Put them in a folder and have them added as movies with aniDB scraper?
I'd prefer to have them listed as TV-Series since they usually are only 25-45 minutes ... but for that i need to put them in one folder each and have Episode # 1 in the Name somewhere since i coudn't get to to default to that ..

Any best practice tips?

PS: also, is there a way to keep different parts of the shows together like with movie sets?
For example the Ryo-Ohki OVAs are listed with different entries (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=rel&aid=409) and this is warranted but it's really hard to find the crosss-references in xbmc, would xbmc support tv-show sets like movie sets? That should also make the "it's basically just another season of the same show" guys happy too :-)


RE: [RELEASE] [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - scudlee - 2013-07-08

Advantages to treating them as movies:
They can be grouped into sets.
They can be linked to a relevant TV show.

Advantages to treating them as TV shows:
Any specials/Ops/EDs, etc. can be listed directly alongside the OVA.
The "episode" plot can potentially come from thetvdb.org (and therefore likely be better than the one from anidb.net)

It's swings and roundabouts, whichever you prefer.

The method you describe would be the right way to add them as TV shows certainly.


TV Show sets are something I would love to have, I've already been contemplating methods to integrate them into the scraper and the mapping lists should they ever become reality. There's a feature request for it somewhere in the Feature Suggestions forum.

Has anyone managed to successfully scrape Ghost in the Shell: Arise? As you can see, it is in their database, but all I get is

Code:
WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://QNAP/Qmultimedia/Anime/Ghost In The Shell Arise/', it won't be added to the library.



RE: [RELEASE] [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - scudlee - 2013-07-08

Working fine here. Even the less-than-reliable Google Search finds it.

I'd need to see a full debug log (wiki) to figure out why it's not working for you.

The relevant part starts around line 1677.


RE: [RELEASE] [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - scudlee - 2013-07-09

You're using the original AniDB scraper, not the Mod. I wouldn't rely on that finding anything too recent.

Have you made a file called tvshow.nfo with the contents aid=9658 and placed in the same folder as the file?

Yeah, that explains a lot. I looked int the settings, saw version 2.0.0 and thought I was fine Smile Using your mod everything works okay.

BTW. is there a way to force display of a different title? I have the titles set to EN in the scraper settings and almost everything is okay, but one or two series is still shown in Japanese (for example, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is shown as Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu) and I'd rather keep the titles consistent. .nfo file maybe?


RE: [RELEASE] [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - scudlee - 2013-07-10

I guess because Legend of the Galactic Heroes has never been officially released in English, AniDB doesn't recognize that title as being "Official", maybe?

You are on the right track with .nfo files, though.

If you make a tvshow.nfo with:
Code:
<tvshow>
    <title>Legend of the Galactic Heroes</title>
</tvshow>
aid=584
XBMC will use the "aid=584" part to run the scraper, but then overwrite what it returns with whatever is in the xml part of the .nfo file.

Thanks!

I seem to be getting constantly banned from AniDb when scanning a series of 1-3 episode OVA's, I'm scanning them as TV shows and have tried setting the force delay in the addon config to 125 and 250, but it still happens. Any thoughts? I can still use FileBot to rename from AniDb, but that doesn't do me any good for getting them into the XBMC library.
