Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Hey I'd like to point out that aniList has much better metadata for anime such as an actual section for "english titles" rather than the "official" titles field for aniDB that occasionally the gets given the romaji title which is immensely unhelpful. Additionally there is now a community AniList agent available for Plex: https://github.com/RickDB/PlexAniSync
Please consider added AniList as a metadata agent for anime. For what it's worth I have it on good authority from a weeb developer friend that AniList API > AniDB API .

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Just for slightly further context on this: My filebot script is setup to rename anime using the english title but occasionally because the metadata on aniDB is ridiculous it just uses the Romaji title which is just plain silly, I understand that's an issue with the aniDB site and not filebot hence why my request is to add an alternative source for anime metadata.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
AniDB supports localized titles including English ones:
AFAIK, you can even add the official English title yourself if it's missing.
Code: Select all
$ filebot -list --q "juuni kokuki" --db AniDB --lang English
The Twelve Kingdoms - 01 - Shadow of the Moon, The Sea of Shadow - Chapter 1
The Twelve Kingdoms - 02 - Shadow of the Moon, The Sea of Shadow - Chapter 2
The Twelve Kingdoms - 03 - Shadow of the Moon, The Sea of Shadow - Chapter 3
Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Yeah I know it supports that but if the title isn't there it doesn't really help.
And also I'm aware I could edit the metadata on AniDB but it isn't really worth my time when I'm not actually paid for any part of this. Also as a hilarious coincidence the aniDB registration form is broken so that's a bummer.

Can you list a specific show where AniList works better than AniDB?
It works perfectly fine for every show I've tried:

All the data you've ever seen on any database is contributed by users that aren't paid for it. Remember that, and do your part, to make things work for everyone, as others have done for you.

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
In this case it was "Magmel and the Sea Blue" which I ended up going onto the AniDB IRC to get changed.
Also while I'm at it aniDB also uses ` for apostrophes instead of '. My current naming format looks like:
{localize.English.n.colon(' - ')}
How would I go about including a replace for ` to become '

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata

I see that Magmell of the Sea Blue as been added, but it won't work if it's just a Synonym, so I've already put in an Edit Request to make it the Official English Title:
https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?s ... &aid=14063
Half the Episodes don't even have titles yet. I guess it's not a very popular show yet. Maybe you can help contribute there.
2.
{n} and {localize.English.n} is the same if you're using --lang English (default) so {n.colon(' - ')} is probably fine here.
3.
You could do your own custom replacement:
But I recommend using the built-in String.asciiQuotes() method:
e.g.

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
so String.asciiQuotes() will handle the replacement of ` to '?
Also because I'm already using .colon can I jsut add an extra .asciiQuotes() to the end and have it look like this:
Will that work?

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Yes, that'll work.
Best to just play with it in the Format Editor:

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Just in case this gets traction, AniList does have an official API.

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
If they have a stable API, that does make things interesting. I'll put it on the backlog.
Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Yeah sorry, I obviously didn't make that clear, I was aware that an API exists but I probably should have been explicit about it.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
I would really like to second this request.
Some of the data on AniDB is incorrect or incomplete.
Personally I prefer myanimelist (have an account there) cause it favors the eye and easier UI to use and it's easier to find all the content etc.
At least that is my personal feeling. Anyway I do believe they have an API as well though I am unsure (I'm not that familiar with API's etc).
That aside, AniDB does pick up wrong titles and matches on a regular basis.
Any additions to help the Anime front would be appreciated and therefor I second the request

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Is this request still in the backlog and/or has an estimate?
I would really like to switch to anilist.co for metadata and naming.

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Additional Anime-specific or Language-specific datasources are not planned at this point. Does anilist.co provide anything specific that you need but isn't provided by TheMovieDB / TheTVDB / AniDB?
Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Nope just better metadata, naming and grouping in my opinion.
And I also sync the watch state with anilist.co and because of the different data I often have to setup custom matching rules.
Well, thanks anyways for the answer

Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Specific examples would be appreciated, so I can add them to the list of things we test with. If we have specific test cases that only work with specific databases, then we can develop and debug to see how we can make things work, which may or may not include talking to additional databases.
Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
Re: Feature Request: AniList for anime metadata
Okay, I will try to collect some examples for what is bothering me.
