Also having the issue above. The scanner works great but metadata won’t download through HAMA.
@ZeroQI 
It downloaded about 10 or shows worth of metadata and nothing else after that.
@Munchkin_ i found the reason… need to check if a recent update provoqued that though…
Fetching 'http://api.anidb.net:9001/httpapi?request=anime&client=hama&clientver=1&protover=1&aid=1695' from the HTTP cache
ERROR (__init__/xmlElementFromFile:944) - Not an XML file, AniDB banned possibly, result: '<error>Banned</error>'@ZeroQI Except for him possibly being banned, what would be the reason for the latest version not downloading any metadata?
@chrno checking your logs, but there is so little logs from hama, it looks as if it can’t find the tvdbid due to mapping file, which i just changed code for… I can only see it see the serie has anidbid and that’s it
A line code “if metadata.seasons[media_season].episodes[media_episode].title == tvdb_table [ep] [‘EpisodeName’]: continue” was added to skip episode update if meta was already there but commend that line py prepending a hash sign “#” before qnd let me know if this fixes
Can you see if https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle/commit/ab92eb755b9a453e93d5462dc458721d41178a30 does not have the issue? if it doesn’t then i know where to look
Will reproduce this evening if i don’t hear back from you…
@ZeroQI I am still at work for another 3 hours. I can check when I get home.
I created a test library with only 4 series in for my tests yesterday, might be why the log is so small.
Its downloading metadata again using the code from the link you provided, still feels very sluggish in how long it takes compared to the older version I tested yesterday though.
Side note…
- its mapping Accel World’s OVAs in a very weird manner. Created a season 2012 and season 2013 for each OVA
- Mapping A Certain Magical Index OVA 1 and 2 to the season’s episode 1 and 2
Never mind on the Accel World OVA, fixed it by moving it to its own folder and fixing naming
@chrno an sorry but file naming doesn’t follow anidb nor tvdb nor plex numbering. Single movies therefore s01e01 would include also oav and oad in the title. Can’t fix that i am aftraid.
@ZeroQI Yeah that’s not a problem, I fixed the file naming last night. I moved it straight from a downloads folder into the test library folder only fixing the series naming without paying attention to the extras
I was more concerned over the no metadata then the other stuff. Lost a drive and now needing to re-download what was lost on the drive, it will take some time to fix all the naming and folder structure to how it was before.
The filelist from the scanner should have a copy of serie and names if it helps
Will improve performance of the agent by not updating un-necessarily, but need to find the sweet spot
Just edit your post if you post 3 in a row in the same 5 minutes 
Yeah, I use anidb file renamer to get everything sorted…just a tedious job when you have to go and work through almost 2tb of anime in one go again as the applet doesn’t always identify it or identify it correctly.
I have a wiki entry for Japanese Media Manager wit renaming scripts if it helps:
I will give that a go thanks a lot.
I’ll second Japanese Media Manager (JMM) as a great way to manage your anime. It scans files by hashing them, so it can take a bit of time, but you get nearly 100% match as long as the file has been hashed and entered into anidb. This is of course assuming you don’t alter the file (except renaming) in any way that would change the hash value and that would make it so it doesn’t match. Once it has matched, there is a bunch of metadata it can pull down and can use to put into your file names like resolution, codecs, CRC, etc.
Anyway, it is a good tool to keep your anidb account anime list up to date and also has pretty robust renaming script abilities. You can have it rename on import, when it scans and adds a file to your collection, or on demand for stuff you have already imported.
If interested, here’s my JMM rename script:
// Anime Name, use english name if it exists, otherwise use the Romaji name
IF I(eng) DO ADD '%eng '
IF I(ann);I(!eng) DO ADD '%ann '
// Episode Number (movies add # to assist with Plex/ASS identification)

IF R(LD) DO ADD 'LD '
// Add resolution

// IF 10bit, add identifier (skip if also HEVC)
IF Z(10);C(!HEVC) DO ADD ' Hi10P'
// If HEVC, add identifier
IF C(HEVC) DO ADD ' HEVC'
// If dual language, add identifier
IF D(japanese);D(english) DO ADD ', JPN+ENG'
DO ADD ') '

Some of the stuff at the bottom is just me being fiddly with naming fixes, but I’ll leave them in there as examples.
@deusxqnime Updated JMM media page there https://github.com/ZeroQI/Absolute-Series-Scanner/wiki/Japanese-Media-Manager
yeah no meta downloaded on latest version if no custom mapping present… anidbTvdbMapping() code at fault, infinite loop:
while dir:
dir = os.path.dirname(dir)
Log.Info(“dir2: ‘%s’” % dir )
dir = “/” therefore loops
Edit: Would have caused major slowdowns when meta already there. no meta downloaded unless custom mapping file present

I’m not sure if this is related to the issue above but this is happening a lot in the com.plexapp.system.log. Plex seems to do a lot of scanning and metadata stuff, it is constantly using a full core on my server.

Scanner code seem ancient…
@ZeroQI Great, thanks for the fix!
It should be the newest scanner? I update it with wget pretty often.
EDIT: Wait, one of the logfiles was from august… Not sure what happened.
The new correct log should be there at least.
Which of the update scripts for Ubuntu in the wiki is the most recent or the one we should use? I still used my own one but you added some extra chown stuff.
