Is there a command or parameter I can pass to AMC so that it will always handle anime content just like any other movie or TV?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean or want.

This will explain how "Anime Detection" works:

My apologies for being unclear

Instead of having an Anime directory, I'd like AMC to add anime movies to my Cinema disk and anime tv episodes to my TV disk.

Instead of using a special naming scheme for anime, I'd like anime movies to use my movieFormat and I'd like anime tv shows to use my seriesFormat.

Thanks for your help!

Differentiating between Anime Episodes and Anime Movies is not supported, and conceptually impossible. TheMovieDB has movies, AniDB has episodes, so AniDB is only used for files that are Anime, which only provides Episode data. While TheMovieDB probably doesn't even have an entry, so there's also no movie data.

You can post a few exact examples of files and desired output paths but it's probably not as easy as you might think, once you think about it.

I fear we may be talking about slightly different things.

You're talking about four categories (movies, anime movies, tv, anime tv).

AMC wants to use three categories (movies, anime, tv) and three DBs (TMDB, anidb, TVDB).

I want to use only two (movies, tv) and (TMDB, TVDB).

Here's a real example:
/Volumes/Downloads/inbox/Akira (1988)/Akira.(1988).mkv
becomes >>>
/Volumes/Downloads/inbox/Anime/Akira (1988)/Anime/Akira/Akira - 02 - Part 1 of 2.mkv
but I want >>>
/Volumes/Cinema/Cinema/Akira (1988)/Akira (1988) - [1280x656 x264 DTS 6ch].mkv

Does it have Japanese Audio and ASS subtitles? => Anime

1. Japanese with Subtitles => Anime
2. Anime => Anime TV

Sending me the paths makes the issue much more clear.

I've added extra checks so that files longer than 60 min will not be put in the "forceAnime" category so your Akira 1988 will probably be recognized as movie then. Please test this by using dev:amc instead of fn:amc.

Thanks. I'll try that when I can get to my media centre, and report back.

Ii anime => anime TV, then I can just define animeFormat the same as seriesFormat to make sure Attack on Titan goes to my TV disk.

Yep, Anime Series will be sorted using the animeFormat which may be the same as the seriesFormat. Up to you.

That worked beautifully.

Thanks Red
