[Release] MyAnimeList.net Metadata Agent

It is done. There are still some thing I should work on but I didn't find any Major Bugs which broke the Agent.

You can download the Agent as always on my sourceforge page but please read the new "Known Issues" section in my original post (https://forums.plex.tv/topic/105054-release-myanimelistnet-metadata-agent/?p=621182)

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Just made a small update to the API: Anime with an japanese title like Mirai Nikki will now use, if available, the alternative english title to hit a request to TheTVDB. This should generate some more metadata for you guys :)

And wow ... already 311 anime in the cache you guys are awesome

Just upgraded, looks like it's working.

I have 235 titles in my anime collection, seems to of got about 80% of the titles, upgrading now and it should be 100% (the ones missing were Japanese named)

EDIT: Could you please look into this: https://forums.plex.tv/topic/25523-unsupported-as-in-totally-unofficial-appstore/

Would make updating a lot easier. I subscribed to your blog but i havent received anything about an update, just passed this by chance.

I can't say that you will get 100%, it should work if your Anime are named as on the myanimelist website. If you still get some missmatches tell me and upload the log file.

Thank you for the advice I will look into the appstore and I totally forgot to post a message on my blog.

Edit:

Okay Request to be integrated into the unofficial appstore has been made, lets see where this is going

  1. put the agent into your plugin folder
  2. start your Plex Media Server
  3. go to Settings -> Agents and check that the MyAnimeList.net Agent is available in Movie and TV-Shows
  4. Create a new Folder and select under advanced the Scanner and Agent.

this should do

anyone else using absoluteseriesscanner + myanimelist agent and getting duplicate anime groups of the same series?

The initial scan works normally, but when new episodes gets added it seems to put itself in it's own group.

that is the problem if the metadata of the new episode is different from the tv-show you already got. Then a new Series is added with the new episode, just rematch the old episodes.

Didn't wrote the scanner just the Agent :)

Edit:

Now Available in the Unsupported AppStore (#142)

Be aware that the API is offline right now because of an server error where I can't deploy an updated version.

I keep getting Non Non Biyori backgrounds and posters for half the shows. Any idea how to fix this?

Try the following:

  1. clear server cache
  2. disable contribution of TheTVDB in options

if this is not helping I need the log file to help you further

Recently the plugin has not been working for me when I add new anime. It doesn't work during the initial scan after adding the new anime, and it also doesn't work if I try to use the "Fix Incorrect Match" function.

From the log file, it seems the error is due to an error from daraku web service. Example: http://daraku-mal-api.net/services/v2/anime/918

The detailed log file is attached.
