I have tried many expressions but I am not able to make this work:

[HorribleSubs] One Piece - 729 [720p]

I don't know why. If I use [HorribleSubs] One Piece - Ep.729 [720p] is fine.

Did you try mine? I'm pretty sure that naming scheme would work on mine with no issues. (Actually both would work fine).

@gates and scudlee: thanks for the response, I get how they work now. It's a little inconvenient, but I guess I can work around that.

Has there been an issue with the scraper lately? I've been getting this in the log file when trying to add a folder:

I'm using the advancedsettings.xml regex in the first post, and the filenames I have look like:

I don't recall having this problem before 2.4.0

EDIT: nvm it's the "Google Search" option that's causing problems. If I disable it, it matches correctly again

Hi,

just found this Addon, sadly Kodi always tells me it's unable to reach server. Anyone else having this problem? Opening Github with browser is no problem. I'm using Kodi 16 und it's connected to internet.

[koboltzz]

Hi all,

I bet you experts here to help me

my episodes have the following scheme:

Hell.sing.S01E01
Hell.sing.S01E02.The.Undead

My advancedsettings.xml contains the following:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <tvshowmatching>
    <regexp>[\._ -]()_? ([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
    <regexp>[Ss]([0-9]+)[ ._x-]*[Ee]([0-9]+(?:(?:[a-i]|\\.[1-9])(?![0-9]))?)([^\\\\/]*)$</regexp>
    <regexp>[\._ -]()[Ee][Pp]_?([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
    <regexp>([0-9]{4})[\.-]([0-9]{2})[\.-]([0-9]{2})</regexp>
    <regexp>([0-9]{2})[\.-]([0-9]{2})[\.-]([0-9]{4})</regexp>

  </tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>

Scraper: TVDB

Result: No informations/cover etc.


Any help please?

Hello,

I am having an issue where I upgraded to Kodi 16 and have all of my anime in one folder but despite the scraper getting the information properly (when i go to TV show information it shows the synopsis, aired, information etc as well as it is properly downloading the banners, posters, and fanart) it is not displaying them in the view like it did previously when i was running 15.2. I have the view set to List but all of the information when highlighting over the different folders is no longer showing (fanart, covers, information).

I attempted to do a fresh install of Kodi and the same issue returns. I also have a movie folder and my movies scrape and display the information fine and for troubleshooting's sake i attempted to move an anime over to the movie folder and scrape using anidb but it still does not display the info. I have logs if they are necessary but when running through them, the scraper appears to be working fine and i don't see any real issues. I also attempted to delete the textures13.db and myvideos99.db with no change. I also tried using the tvdb scraper as well and the same issue occurs.

Thanks in advance for the help, it's much appreciated. I have been using kodi/xbmc for several years now and have never had this issue and I am hoping it is a new setting that was implemented that I did not notice?

TLDR: Anime scraper information no longer being shown after updating to Kodi 16

I'm having troubles getting a Cardcaptor Sakura special episode to display correctly in the episode list. It's being scrapped correctly as 0xS1, but when sorting by episode, it's being displayed between episode 49 and 50

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

[scudlee]

@CpeshalElimpix: I would need to see a debug log (wiki) of you refreshing a show and then navigating into the show where the information is not being displayed to be able to help. It may be a skin issue (if you're not using Confluence).

@Kurbster: Technically there is an issue in the mapping list with the CCS specials (and I'll push a fix shortly)... But it probably won't satisfy you.
Currently the first anidb special is being mapped to the second video diary special on TVDB, which as you can see in the absolute listing is placed between episodes 49 and 50.
However, when I fix the mapping, it will only serve to move it between episodes 22 and 23 instead. Not sure why they're placed that way on TVDB.

You can optionally turn off the specials placement in the settings (under "AniDB 1" - "Map specials inside of episode list"), either on the entire source, or just on the CCS folder.

@scudlee Thanks for your response, for the time being I have reverted back to 15.2 and when going through Videos > Files > Anime it displays them properly but when going back to 16 (or doing a fresh install) it is still unable to show any of the information that was scraped by anidb or tvdb. I am using confluence but is there a way to do a fresh install or any other directories that may have corrupt information with regards to Kodi 16 that fresh installing may not have deleted? Due to reverting back to 15.2 I don't have any logs of me scraping metadata and I have attempted to troubleshoot this issue for way too many hours now so I may just stick with 15.2 until somebody else has a similar issue and finds the solution. My Debug Log only contains me scrolling through my Anime folder which is not displaying any metadata. Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi i have some Trouble with some Series and a weird error in the log file.

I have added "Hoozuki no Reitetsu" and get this Error in the Log.

Code:

10:17:15 T:27420   DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(182DF5C8) http://api.anidb.net:9001/httpapi?request=anime&client=xbmcscrap&clientver=1&protover=1&aid=9955
10:17:15 T:27420   ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Failed writing received data to disk/application(23)

If i look in the downloaded File in the Cache i get this http://pastebin.com/KBVxRQZV i cleared the cache 3 times and the same Problem happen every time. After download the xml manual, the problem was gone.

This was on Kodi (16.0 Git:20160220-a5f3a99).

This Problem happen for 2 Series of me. The first i have postet and

Code:

Other recently added Series work without Problems.

New Kodi user here. I read the wiki on video management but only ever saw simple Folder naming conventions yet quite a few complex ways of detecting Filenames.

Something like the following is suggested.

Code:

Anime
----Anime 1
     ----Files

----Anime 2 (year) (quality|source)
      ----Season #
         ----Files

But the structure I've got is the following.

Code:

Anime
----[Hi10] Shinsekai Yori [BD 1080p]
       ----(Hi10)_Shinsekai_Yori_-_01_(BD_1080p)_(UTW)_(CAD808A9)

----[Hi10 - Project-GXS] Haikyuu!! - Series
       ----[Hi10] Season 1 [720p]
            ----(Hi10)_Haikyuu!!_-_01_(720p)_(HorribleSubs)_(700138C9)
       ----[Project-GXS] Season 2 [720p]
            ----(project-gxs)_Haikyuu!!_S2_-_01_(10bit_720p)

I don't make folders of anime until they are fully released, so ongoing anime are detected when not inside folders with the above naming conventions when using the advancedsettings.xml suggested on Anime (wiki) which ignores everything inside brackets except source/quality. Question is can I do the same for the folders without changing them? I wouldn't like to rename the folders any other way. I'll take the time to do .NFO files if it is what it takes. Just asking if it is possible before doing anything since it will be big task as I have over 300 anime named in the same convention.

Hentai used to scrape "18 restricted" genre, and I could filter on these. Since the genre refactor, I don't get this genre any more, no matter what weight I pick. Is there a suggestion on how to get this back? Hentai keeps sneaking past my filters.

[strubdog]

I have done a fresh install of Kodi 16.1. I have installed the anidb mod add-on successfully. I then made sure some of the anime of folder are in sync with what's listed on the anidb website. When I try to scrap one of the shows, I get the correct information. Then the show does not appear in my TV Show section. Any ideas?

[barat]

Hi,
I installed Anidb MOD like mentioned in this thread, and I have a question ... what is wrong with my file structure, that I can't index Dragon Ball Z specials?
In TVDB we have this:
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...onid=31040
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=81472&lid=7

My structure is like:

Code:

Anime
- Dragon Ball Z
    - 00. Specials
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E01_-_The_Dead_Zone_[DR][x264][4552B645].mkv
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E02_-_The_World_s_Strongest_[DR][x264][FC69BE7C].mkv
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E03_-_Tree_of_Might_[DR][x264][DF07CF33].mkv
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E04_-_Lord_Slug_[DR][x264][4F57F2EF].mkv
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E05_-_Cooler_s_Revenge_[DR][x264][F6435E68].mkv
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E06_-_The_Return_of_Cooler_[DR][x264][3EF0F2AA].mkv
        - (...)
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_S00E24 Resurrection F [2015].mkv
    - 01.Saiyan arc [Ep. 1-35]
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_ep001_-_The_new_Threat_[DR][x264][F26CC67E].mkv
        - (...)
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_ep035_-_Mercy_[DR][x264][ABA2886D].mkv
    - 02.Namek arc [Ep. 36-74]
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_ep036_-_Picking_up_the_Pieces_[DR][x264][8FE95EAA].mkv
        - (...)
        - [DBNL]Dragonball_Z_-_ep074_-_Captain_Ginyu_The_Frog_[DR][x264][2CB70A4E].mkv
    - 03. to 09. episodes same as above

Episodes index perfectly with this MOD, all in absolute order in my "Smart Playlist", but on the list I only see Specials at the end for S00E01-S00E05 with wrong names (S00E01 named "The World of Dragon Ball Z", S00E02 and S00E03 are "Director's Choice (...)", S00E04 is "Goku vs Vegeta" and S00E05 "Rebirth Part 1"), rest of specials is visible in Source with miniatures but without description etc.
Is it possible to have DBZ specials to appear as on TVDB with recommended order?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
