My Anime 2 (3 Viewers)

[lwerndly]

Quick question, likely an obvious question. I'm using the Monochrome skin...whereabouts did my handy little checkbox to mark my favorite series go? I used to use it to make it easy to browse quickly to my currently active series, rather than scroll through page after page to get to the one I was watching.

Keep up the great work lwerndly, My Anime Plugin has become the focal point of my HTPC.

Most of the options are now available via the context menu, which is probably F9 on your keyboard or the Info button on your remote.
Favourites are indicated by the Heart icon.
You can view just the favourites using the "Switch View" menu on the side.



I've slowed down on the dev work over the last few days, but bert_r has done a few fixes so I'll probably do a release in the next couple of hours to get those out.

 

[lwerndly]

Version 2.0.8

FIXED: Manually specified fanart is now used as a default in random mode if there are no existing fanart images.
FIXED: File name not appearing in hash progress ( Issue #55 )
CHANGED: "Get episodes/images" TvDB option is now a force refresh

ADDED: Option to turn off using watched status from AniDB + additional options ( Issue #47 )

Version 2.0.8 - June 19, 2009 - Changelog

 

[bert_r]

is there something wrong with the ed2k hash ? I've noticed a lot of the files that I've been downloading lately don't match aniDB

Not that I know of ... the only problem currently is that the filename isn't displayed while hashing (I'm working on that).
Could you give me an example of such a file? When testing it a few weeks ago I checked 20+ hashed files manually against AniDB and everything was correct.

Also, are you using the latest version of the plugin and dll? Not so long ago I rewrote most of the ed2k.dll, it should be a bit faster and probably a bit more reliable also because of extra error checking.

Yes I am using the latest ed2k.dll and plugin
Well, i don't know what information you need but here are the 3 files that I downloaded yesterday that gave me completely different ed2k hash than what is on the aniDB site
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601342
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601697
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601765

I replace the incorrect hash in the file manager with what I saw on aniDB and that seemed to have fixed it, but if I have to do it for every file it'll be a hassle

Is there any way to rehash a file, if you need the hash of what I got before I'll have to rehash the file and I don't remember the incorrect hash

I've downloaded and tried hashing the first 2 files, they both result in the same hash as mentioned on AniDB.
Do you have special hardware? The dll is mainly written in assembler to get the fastest hashing as possible, this may result in problems for exotic processors.
Also, have you checked the CRC of your files? Maybe something went wrong with the download which corrupted the file.

If you want to do some quick testing, I'll attach my test program to this post. I use this program while debugging the dll (that's faster than constantly restarting MediaPortal). Note that this test program hashes all files in a directory, you can only choose if it's recursive or not. It also only works with the latest dll.

Thanks for the 2.0.8 release, The naruto anime is working correctly now with the tvdb info.

Could somebody give me a clue as to why I get this message when I try to configure this plugin in mediaportal configuration?

I'm very sorry for the long post, if reinstalling mediaportal will fix this then I will do it, I just want to make sure I haven't done anything stupid. I just dumped the files from the plugin in the mediaportal installation directory.


edit: you may delete this if it is in the wrong area to ask for help in regards to the myanime plugin.

Cheers

Could somebody give me a clue as to why I get this message when I try to configure this plugin in mediaportal configuration?

I'm very sorry for the long post, if reinstalling mediaportal will fix this then I will do it, I just want to make sure I haven't done anything stupid. I just dumped the files from the plugin in the mediaportal installation directory.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. This seems like a bug to me.
I'm not sure what's the cause though ... something went wrong when reading the database.

A few questions:
- Did you use the plugin before, or is this the first run?
- If you used it before, did you do anything special? Or did anything special happen? (example: a MediaPortal crash could cause a corrupted database)
- Could you try deleting (or renaming) the database? (For XP the you can find the database at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\AnimeDatabaseV20.db3, for vista the database is in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\AnimeDatabaseV20.db3)
- If none of these help, could you post (or PM) your AnimeDatabaseV20.db3?

CHANGED: Episodes from TvDB will now use the absolute numbering scheme first where it is available

What does this mean, is it for super long series like Naruto, Bleach or One Piece?
I'm thinking that series with several "sequels", that get grouped as seasons in TVdb this could be bad, as it could be choosing one series with 3 seasons instead of 3 series. Am I getting it right?

I've noticed that most of the stuff the plugin doesn't get for me it could be for my choice of using the "romaji" version of the name. Could that be the reason, that it just searches for the title string in TVDB and it doesn't match with the english version there? One that it doesn't get is Zero no Tsukaima.

Then, for the series it doesn't retrieve properly, is it ok with just copying the TVdb series code? Does that just help it grab the banner, fanart, etc?

By the way, Haruhi Suzumiya was an absolute pain. The thing between the aired order, the chronologic order and the version with the new episodes makes it a true nightmare.

You still have the option to choose which TvDB series maps to which AniDB series.

I've noticed that most of the stuff the plugin doesn't get for me it could be for my choice of using the "romaji" version of the name. Could that be the reason, that it just searches for the title string in TVDB and it doesn't match with the english version there? One that it doesn't get is Zero no Tsukaima.

It will use actually search TvDB using three criteria. (1) Romaji name (2) English name (3) Manually specified name.
Of course if any of these are the same, it will only use the unique criteria.
It is strange that it doesn't find "Zero no Tsukaima", as it works for me. As long as that is the exact title.
Also if you have the web service enabled, and do a TvDB search it should come up with a "Community Says..." recommendation.

Then, for the series it doesn't retrieve properly, is it ok with just copying the TVdb series code? Does that just help it grab the banner, fanart, etc?

Yeah if you manually populate the TvDB ID, that should work.
Since that is all the "Search TvDB" really does.
You will need to do a "Run Import" or open the fanart screen to get the images though.

IMPORTANT NOTE - the host for my web service will be going down in about 48 hours.
I have been trying to find an alternative with no luck so far.
I'll most likely get it up and running on my home connection until I find a permanent solution

Not that I know of ... the only problem currently is that the filename isn't displayed while hashing (I'm working on that).
Could you give me an example of such a file? When testing it a few weeks ago I checked 20+ hashed files manually against AniDB and everything was correct.

Also, are you using the latest version of the plugin and dll? Not so long ago I rewrote most of the ed2k.dll, it should be a bit faster and probably a bit more reliable also because of extra error checking.

Yes I am using the latest ed2k.dll and plugin
Well, i don't know what information you need but here are the 3 files that I downloaded yesterday that gave me completely different ed2k hash than what is on the aniDB site
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601342
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601697
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=file&fid=601765

I replace the incorrect hash in the file manager with what I saw on aniDB and that seemed to have fixed it, but if I have to do it for every file it'll be a hassle

Is there any way to rehash a file, if you need the hash of what I got before I'll have to rehash the file and I don't remember the incorrect hash

I've downloaded and tried hashing the first 2 files, they both result in the same hash as mentioned on AniDB.
Do you have special hardware? The dll is mainly written in assembler to get the fastest hashing as possible, this may result in problems for exotic processors.
Also, have you checked the CRC of your files? Maybe something went wrong with the download which corrupted the file.

If you want to do some quick testing, I'll attach my test program to this post. I use this program while debugging the dll (that's faster than constantly restarting MediaPortal). Note that this test program hashes all files in a directory, you can only choose if it's recursive or not. It also only works with the latest dll.

Thanks for the program
looks like it hashes it correctly in the program but I hashed it within mediaportal a few days ago with the 2.07 plugin and was getting theses hashes, and yes I'm using the latest .dll

I thinking that it might be trying to hash the file while it's since downloading off the torrent cause I have watch for new files in the plugin checked off and that could be the reason why it's getting different hash than aniDB, cause I've only tried the program on completed files , could that be possible that it's hashing incompleted files
I'm also seeing this message in my logs so that's why I'm thinking it might be hashing the incomplete file

is there any way to force a rehash of the files?

Could somebody give me a clue as to why I get this message when I try to configure this plugin in mediaportal configuration?

I'm very sorry for the long post, if reinstalling mediaportal will fix this then I will do it, I just want to make sure I haven't done anything stupid. I just dumped the files from the plugin in the mediaportal installation directory.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. This seems like a bug to me.
I'm not sure what's the cause though ... something went wrong when reading the database.

A few questions:
- Did you use the plugin before, or is this the first run?
- If you used it before, did you do anything special? Or did anything special happen? (example: a MediaPortal crash could cause a corrupted database)
- Could you try deleting (or renaming) the database? (For XP the you can find the database at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\AnimeDatabaseV20.db3, for vista the database is in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\AnimeDatabaseV20.db3)
- If none of these help, could you post (or PM) your AnimeDatabaseV20.db3?

Thanks for the reply.

I used to have the previous myanime (version 1.xx I assume) plugin installed which used to let me configure it fine. I never used it or got it working to my liking so I removed it.

This particular plugin (v 2.08?) I did not use it before I tried to configure it, but I it works fine with in mediaportal, it just crashes when I try to configure the plugin.

I will try renaming/deleting the database tonight, if that doesn't work I'll post my AnimeDatabaseV20.db3.

Thanks for the support!


Update: deleting the old database worked. I can now configure the plugin

Thank you very much for your help.
