AniDB scraper for movies?

[Johnnie.it]

Hey there,

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here:
I do watch _a lot_ of anime movies, and sorting them out is currently a PitA, using the normal scrapers for imdb or whatever.
Scraping one movie brings out a list of a gazillion and one titles to choose from, and it quickly becomes quite time consuming.

On the other hand, scraping the same movie off anidb (so categorizing it as a serie) returns the correct result at the first try. Well, 99.999% of the times, which is quite good enough for me
The only problem with that is the renamer; it wants to rename it something like "movie title S E01 Episode01". Obviously, I'd say, it thinks it's a serie.

So I was thinking: it wouldn't be that hard to take the code for the anidb scraper and putting it among the movies scrapers, would it?

Well, that's all.
Thank you for listening, you're great! Have a good night!!!

Well, nobody forces you to use {sxe} bindings in your format right?

When renaming Anime movies why don't you just set the format to something like this?

Code: Select all

{n}

Well I can't remember exactly now because I tried that quite some time ago, but even using the normal "name (year)" format returned some weird result.
Besides, you still have to change the format every time you want to rename a movie vs. a show.

I thought since the code was already there it wouldn't be a huge fuss to just include it in the movies section too, that's all...

Well, the datasource logic is different, and the movie logic would also be completely different. If I could somehow tell if an Anime is in fact an Anime movie I would consider that, but as far as AniDB is concerend anything is a series, and so filebot will do the same.

You can always try to be smart in the format though and build in some conditions.

Use episode title as condition:

Code: Select all

{t =~ /Movie/ ? n : [n,sxe,t].join(' - ')}

Use episode title and file.path as condition:

Code: Select all

{[t,file.path] =~ /Movie/ ? '[Movie] '+n : [n,sxe,t].join(' - ')}

See how the first entry gets formatted differently:



The above are just examples to get you thinking in that direction. Just find a condition that works for your stuff.
