C is at least portable.
C++ is bad in ths case.
Perl is a mess.
JAVA ist big and slow,
python is even incomatiblen then perl.

Sadly users don't like to install Ruby or Smalltalk.

I want to make a client as well,...if I come to it....:lol:

name: otani (ota for otaku and ani for anime)
Language: I think I will make it in java or maybe in C or C++
OS: for the beginning it will be windows, later linux too. Or first linux... :?

What's going to have:
For the beginning, it should be a cmd client, which can list myList and "all anime" list (offline too).
2nd part will be graphical issues or/and change something in mylist or add.

But I don't know yet exactly,...they are all my first thoughts of it.

I'm considering a variety of options for a little free programming I want to do as I want to stretch my talents a bit farther then they are now. I've done some client server stuff but never when I didn't have full access to both codebases. so I've been thinking about that and I was thinking about using this UDP as one of three possible starting points (the others being live journal and a decently major idea I had for something like CDDB and mp3s which is )

Anyways So basically mine will start as a test system, and if it goes anywhere I'll post again with more firm details.

Client name: probably using an id similar to "kinglink" "kinglinka" or maybe a couple depending on if I make a couple different project ideas. all "kinglink_" where _ is (a-z) any finished projects will get named when I get done or close to done.

E-mail:kinglink at gmail dot com : Frank dot Reese at gmail dot com (sorry Kept the second one spam free for so long hoping to keep it up, but feel free to shoot me an email for what ever, anything extremely important to the second one, everything else should go to kinglink)

Target OS is Windows (probably using MFC front end but can be ported if someone wants to)

Language, C++

Functions: first couple programs will be simple lightweight information programs I can use and explore with rather then the heavier AOM. And see where that goes. Anything is possible. Likely it's just going to stay around the "Widget" style of programming, not a full scale client, unless I get wrapped up in it.

URL: None, and if exp wish to see it first, no problem, likely this will just be for evaluation of my skills to prospective employers rather then public consumption but I don't know just yet.

I was looking at doing some modifications to XBMC (XBoxMediaCenter) to do the following things intially
- Display Anime info (descriptions, votes, reviews etc)
(cached to the XBMC DB)

And then possiblly some interactive stuff
- Voting
- Notifications

Does this fit into the allowable uses of the API?
Has anyone done something like this already?

New client i guess. :)

Well i was bored so i whipped up this simple batch renamer in a few hours using Perl.

Name: adbren (AniDB Rename, uhoh really inspired)
Platform: All
Language: PERL (The language of the gods)
Features: Hashing and then renaming files based on information from the anidb api and a user definable format string.
Documentation: Yeah Right!
Licence: GPL
Prerequisites: Digest::MD4, Getopt::Mixed
Future: I might actually finish AniDB::UDPClient;
Download: http://www.svarteper.com/adbren.pl (Version 2)
Email: clip9str[at]gmail[dot].com

How to use:

Open adbren.pl file in a text editor edit line 2-3 and put in your username and password. (I said it was simple! ;) )

Code: Select all

adbren.pl [-f <format>] [--noclean] [--norename] <file1> [file2] ...

-f              Format. 
                Default: %anime_name_english%_%episode%-%group_short%.%filetype%

--noclean       Do not clean values of format vars. (Don't remove spaces, etc.)

--norename      Do not rename files. Just print the new names.

Format vars:

%fid%, %aid%, %eid%, %gid%, %lid%, %status%, %size%, %ed2k%, 
%md5%, %sha1%, %crc32%, %lang_dub%, %lang_sub%, %quaility%, %source%, 
%audio_codec%, %audio_bitrate%, %video_codec%, %video_bitrate%,
%resolution%, %filetype%, %length%, %description%, %group%, 
%group_short%, %episode%, %episode_name%, %episode_name_romaji%,
%episode_name_kanii%, %episode_total%, %episode_last%, %anime_year%,
%anime_type%, %anime_name_romaji%, %anime_name_kanji%, %anime_name_english%,
%anime_name_other%, %anime_name_short%, %anime_synonyms%, %anime_category%


Example:

Code: Select all

$ adbren.pl --format %anime_name_english%_%episode%_%video_codec%-%group_short%.%filetype%  *.avi
Due to my lazyness it only renames to the current drectory.

name: kenokitools- target OS
email: dminer84@yahoo.com

OS: Linux
programming language: what ever I can piece together (currenlty, Java, C, bourne shell, Tcl)
additional info: I am doing this as a means of automating my inital import of data into AniDB and further maintain my AniDB information via my current DVD archiving system (hopyefully, when I burn my DVD and verify the media, AniDB will be updated automatically)

I most likely won't be doing any notify or file renaming, etc type features.

If anyone has an interest in my glued together stuff (including the scripts for DVD authoring (including a tool for finding really good packing order of files for least wasted space) then I can take some time to put together a proper package. :)

@kenoki: I'd be very interested as I'm currently working on something similar (Currently I'm working on a java app that displays the info webaom puts into the mysql database to replace my old archiving system which is in a mess...).
