Rename anim using TVDB

[pax0707]

Is there a way to make the script rename anime using TVDB?

I recently started watching some anime and Plex is having some issues with episodes not in s00e00 format.

Yes. As long as TheTVDB has all the episode data. If episode data contains SxE and absolute numbers you can even convert Absolute to SxE if you're lucky.

Otherwise you can always do the good old (1) Rename with AniDB to get Episode Titles for Absolute Numbers and then (2) Rename with TheTVDB and match by Episode Title and add SxE.

How?

Well, there's a script that does the Original/Absolute -> AniDB/Absolute/Title -> TheTVDB/SxE/Title process that you can have a look for reference:
https://github.com/filebot/scripts/blob ... sxe.groovy

The best solution is (if it's not working out of the box) to add all the missing information (like absolute number information) to TheTVDB and then try again a few days later.

Also you can send me screenshots or logs, I case we're talking apples and oranges.

Let me try rephrasing it.

Is there a command line argument to force the script to parse anime using TheTVDB? Treat it like normal series.
I've been playing around and edited local amc script with edited line 344.

Code: Select all

		                       : [name:group.anime, format:format.anime, db:'TheTVDB']

But that way I loose any new updates you to to amc script.


From what I've tested TVDB works fine for new anime I'm watching.

I would still want the script to recognise anime as anime, just parse it with TheTVDB.
This way I can sort new anime to it's own single folder so that Plex can recognize it.



Sorry if this is silly but I'm more of a hardware guy, never had to code at work.

1)
If you know you're processing TV Series then just set ut_label accordingly to skip auto-detection (you should do that anyway)

Code: Select all

--def ut_label=TV

2)
Files processed with AniDB are anime. Files processed with TheTVDB are TV Episodes. Anime are TV Shows and vice versa.

Assuming you're processing everything with TheTVDB you can still do any kind of differnationation you want in the format, but you have to define which TV Shows are considered Anime and which aren't.

What TV Shows are Anime?

Made in Japan?

Category Animation?

File Size?

Video Length?

Has [CRC32] in the filename?

File anime.txt contains Show title?

Some combination of the above?

None is perfect. You decide.
