I think it is safe to assume the scraper is unmaintained.

Somebody thought about this?
https://kodi.tv/article/thetvdb/
The AniDB scapper uses e.g.
thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries
thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/\1/all/en.zip
thetvdb.com/banners/_cache/
Plus some other parser magic. If this APIs are stopp working it could be the end --- and sadly this parser here is the only one I know for AniDB which gets it right and is especially made for anime to begin with...

Ok, I love to use AniDb ... if the scrapper will or cannot be updated, then I might undertake the venture to write my own phyton based scrapper.

Over two years, this scraper has not been updated, and the creator has not been seen. It seems reasonable to infer that the scraper is not maintained.

The following seems to help:
Download animetitles.xml from here (no more than once a day):
http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.xml.gz
then unpack the file anime-titles.xml from the archive and copy it to the scrapper folder ( AppData\Roaming\Kodi\cache\scrapers\metadata.tvshows.anidb.net.mod\) renaming it to animetitles.xml
After that, I began to find new serials with the help of this scrapper

Thanks! This works, though the scraper does not find the titles were the tag xml:lang appears before type="main" like this:
:<title xml:lang="x-jat" type="main">
Should be changed to:
:<title type="main" xml:lang="x-jat">
Any idea how to patch/modify the scraper to avoid that?
RE: [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - NinjaWarrior - 2023-06-01
Hmm, I just tried to do a search&replace of <title xml:lang="x-jat" type="main"> to
<title type="main" xml:lang="x-jat"> in animetitles.xml and seems it does the trick.

Tried to download the file, no luck. When I retried per GNU wget for Windows I got the following screen:

I downloaded it with no problems just opening the link in Chrome. Make sure your adblock/ublock/whatever is disabled though. I have not tried using wget.
RE: [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - DiMag - 2023-06-07
You are right, once you input "http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.xml.gz" in a chrome tab with adblock disabled the file downloads without complaint. Trying to download it from the command line (e.g., per wget) fails, as anidb.net has disabled (403 error) the listing of its /api directory.
I wonder whether there is a way for registered users of anidb.net to download anime-titles.xml from within the site's interface; at first glance, I couldn't find any such control.
RE: [MOD] AniDB.net scrapers for TV shows and Movies - DiMag - 2023-06-07
I would like to add that the scraper is (1) both commendable and admirable, (2) does its work for anime better than other more widely known and supported scrapers do for movies and tvseries, (3) the only update it needs is a refreshing of the anime-lists (and thanks to those in this thread who helped with it), and (4) the only reason to abandon it would be if the sites which it scrapes deliberately sabotaged it and no one devised appropriate countermeasures.

These xmls still work, at least for me. Just change it from the scraper's settings.
