End to end setup for filebot+plex for anime

Post by tarnished1 »

Hi~
Based on the amc script i noticed that you probably handle a bit of anime. I was wondering if you had an end to end setup guide for torrent -> filebot -> plex for anime such that they are tagged correctly and identified by plex correctly. Namely:

* do you use absolute ep. numbers or seasons
* do you use a different plex scanner to match your filebot output
* do you use a different agent to match your filebot output.


Cheers,

No, FileBot is completely agnostic of tools that come before or tools that come after.

Note that:
* If you rename data with one source, it'll probably work best if you use a scraper that uses the same data source because then everything will match exactly
* I'd keep the original numbering because converting Absolute to SxE or the other way around is tricky if those mappings are not known (AniDB doesn't know any SxE, TheTVDB might know Absolute+SxE but sometimes Absolute data hasn't been entered)

I don't use any Kodi/Plex but I'm pretty sure they have agents that are optimized for Anime/AniDB.

I appreciate that filebot is agnostic to the input source or what is done with the output, but i am suggesting that getting a fully automated anime system is somewhat more complicated than say normal tv shows. I am curious if someone had put together an end to end guide, along with a suggestion on what agents they find useful to ensure a high hit rate. Automation is only as good as the number of times you dont have to mess with it.

If you rename with AniDB then I'd use this agent:

I don't have a lot of personal experience though.
