Small question, i've read everything here and on your Sourceforge page so maybe i overlooked it, sorry if that's the case.
Does this plugin only do scraping, or does it also sync back to myanimelist, like when i watch an episode this is synced back to my myanimelist account and shows it as watched there ?
no this agent just reads the data from myanimelist. I'm not quite sure how and If I will implement the "sync back"
Is it possible to add freebase agent to myanimelist.net?
Right now it only has OpenSubtitle & Local MEdia Assets.

I did some research and to add Freebase to accept metadata from I need the identifier, which I didn't find. Quite strange actually even though many other agents accept metadata from freebase they never list it under the accepts_from code. There isn't even a metadata agent for it in my plugins folder even though it is listed in my agents on the web application... strange thing.
If you know the identifier please share it oh and you can add it yourself, if you need it right now, by searching for "accepts_from" in the __init__.py, there you can add it to the list.
A quick update for you guys. I found a bug while receiving the additional covers, or pics on myanimelist, which added images of the voice actors or avatars of comments to the covers. Since then I try to optimize my code with xpath. But this will take some more time.
Bad news … I got a message of myanimelist which told me to reduce my requests be made. But First of all thank you all for showing interest in this project and I’m quite happy that the latest version already got over 600 downloads. Thank you so much.
Still, I need to deactivate the api until this matter is resolved.
I’m sorry to do this but if I don’t do it, they will.

No wonder! I was wondering why I couldn't pull data from MAL anymore. :(
Do you think we'll get a solution for this? Should we just sit tight or is it looking doubtful?
I’m working on a solution right now but this will take some time because this time I want to do it the right way.
If you are curious in how far I am with the API and MALAgent you can take a look here http://devvsbugs.net/status-update-on-api-and-malagent/
Is this Agent still working?
I installed Babs and the agent. Still no Meta-Data loaded for any anime (Clannad, Date a live, Naruto....). Anyone else with this problem?

If you would please take a look at this https://forums.plex.tv/topic/105054-release-myanimelistnet-metadata-agent/page-3#entry727821 you will know the reason why it doesn't work anymore. No agent is not dead. Im working on a solution

Implementing the Cache will take some more time, can't really get it to work the way the webservice library is providing it.
Thanks for making the plugin, hope you get the problem with too many requests solved soon. Downloaded this for fetching artwork months ago but it never worked, hope it does soon. I only know VB/C# or I'd give you a hand. GL
Quick update:
Caching seems to work while testing it, will test it some more after finishing the agent.
nope not working need to figure another approach out
Big up for getting this fixed! I really loved it and it;s super sad to see that it aint working at the moment!
thank you
Just to let you guys know, last two weeks were quite bad, couldn't concentrate and had a cold which didn't let me sleep but its getting better that I think I can be productive again starting next week
Hey,
I'm the co-founder of Hummingbird.me we're an anime database not unlike MAL, but I like to think we're a good bit... better. We'd be happy to work with you to get Hummingbird meta data to fill the gap now that you've been forced to shut this agent down. We're currently working with Popcorntime to do the same. Here's an example of one of our anime pages:

Feel free to drop by our dev chat and talk more if you're interested. https://www.hipchat.com/gIQZzCGPS

hey josh, thank you and to be honest I thought about creating a Hummingbird Agent after finishing the MAL Agent so I will definitely drop by some time. Still got much to do with my MAL Api and Agent to get it back up and running
Question,
What are the advantage of using this agent versus default TVDB?
Question,

If you are already using Myanimelist.net then you can organize your database with programs like Taiga or MALUpdater and get the relevant Metadata for your plex media server. Also you get Anime data which either do not exist (yet) in the Database of TheTVDB or aren't listed because there is no english title.
EDIT:
Some good news. I completed the caching functionality. Took longer than I expected. I will include some more features in the next few weeks, fix some bugs and complete the Agent.
I'm planning to release it on Christmas Eve so that you get a nice present from me :)

Best Christmas gift! Good job on the caching.
