[QUOTE="bert_r, post: 480109, member: 90426"] Like we mentioned before: The plugin uses AniDB already: (1) plugin hases the file (2) it connects to AniDB and requests the file info (3) AniDB returns all relevant info (4) the plugin shows that info as needed ... it could rename the file as in your example I've taken a quick look at the tvrenamer source code, and it doesn't use the AniDB API as we do, it does a standard search, parses the returned html page and finds the anime and episode to rename the file. We couldn't do the same because we want to detect exactly which file it is so the MyList info can be used, and that isn't possible with a regular search ... and there is no real benefit of doing it that way anyway: almost all of the files are currently recognized correctly. And also, the folks at AniDB don't like us scraping the HTML pages, one of them went to the trouble to sign up to tell us that: [/QUOTE]
