How to add hundreds of episodes to mylist at the same time?

[Amour]

Imagine if... I have seen all episodes of:
+SailorMoon
+Pokemon
+DragonBall
+...

please... I do not want to add them one by one on my list... Is there a button to mass add all episodes of a given anime to mylist? It was on TV, so it would be generic files.

Exp denied a feature like this several times, as people should verify their files.
But now with generic files you could try to request such a feature for those only.

Thanks.

there is a simple way actually.

Get the Anidb-o-matic client.
Set it to automatically cache certain directories. And then set it to auto add to your list the ones cached. It can be set to auto set them all on watched aswell.

In this case it ONLY adds ones that already exist (ie, if the CRC matches it will auto recognize what file it is). In fact, you can even choose to have it autorename the files in a way that pleases you (using the existing data).

taltamir, note this:

It was on TV, so it would be generic files.

I added a bookmarklet to the tracker entry that will do what you want.

Perhaps I'm missing something but, is there a way to mark those generics as having them on DVD (for example) while doing this? The only way I can do this is if I add each generic individually. The way I currently get around this is to mass mark them "on release", which I know is wrong

[Amour]

No, there is a fast way:
1) You use the java-trick to mass-add generic files (you need Firefox):

javascript:var elems = document.getElementsByTagName("i"); for(i=0; i<elems.length; i++){var elem = elems.item(i); if (elem.innerHTML == "generic file"){elem.parentNode.previousSibling.childNodes.item(1).checked = true;};} exit(0);

2) You go to Mylist:
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=mylist
3) You check any anime you want
4) You use the drop-down menu at the bottom to change generic state on DVD

I'd already gotten the javascript from the tracker link above, but it didn't dawn upon me that there's now a "set generic state" in MyList.

Merci!

And to actually contribute something here, I modified the script to check the first N generics. (Came in handy when having to check 48 of the 96 eps of Maison Ikkoku). Warning: this is the first time I mess with javascript, but it seems to work fine for me.

Code: Select all

javascript:var j = 0; var n = prompt("How many?"); if (n<1) {exit(0);} var elems = document.getElementsByTagName("i"); for(i=0; i<elems.length; i++){ var elem = elems.item(i); if (elem.innerHTML == "generic file"){ elem.parentNode.previousSibling.childNodes.item(1).checked = true; j++; if (j>=n) {break;} }; } exit(0);
