[QUOTE="lwerndly, post: 344292, member: 64817"] AniDB will still be the primary source of information. I'll give an example. You download the following file and put it in your MediaPortal share (as you normally do) [B][Ayako]_Kannagi_-_11_[H264][8294EB1E].mkv[/B] You press "scan for new files" The plugin will check the new web service for any files with a matching name and file size. It won't find it, so will do the normal file hashing and querying AniDB data for information. After the information is retrieved, both the file info and series info are uploaded to the new web service. The next day I download the same file and press "Scan for new files". It will find the info from the web service and retrieve it from there instead of AniDB. [U]The advantages of this method[/U] 1. The file hashing skip is stepped (which is quite slow for some) 2. The AniDB step is skipped Querying AniDB is also quite slow, as the API limits you to one query every two seconds. The web service will be much faster. [/QUOTE]
