Search in Mylist for files with higher versions [CLOSED]

Post by Desmond »

if there is a way to get this, please tell me.
i havn't found something. :?

i want my files in Mylist to be checked, if there is a higher version of a file from the same group

for example - i have:
file id: 47692 - one piece 93 - by K-F - File Version: v1 - Version 1
this file exists too:
file id: 47912 - one piece 93 - by K-F - File Version: v2 - Version 2

so i want anidb to tell me this.
is there a way? if not, is there a chance to implement this?

thank you very much
bye

You can use the notification-function. Set it to 'group' and it will keep an eye on the series to see whether there are new episodes/files for that group.
I agree it`s only a workaround, but it should work well.

I would like to see (v1 -> v2 updates when in MyList) this as a new feature as well though.

that mylist report was thought by some people, i also thought about it on the exports, the trouble i think is that the code to implement what is asked is a bit heavy...

not just a bit...
each time i tried to write some sql command for it i ended up in an almost infinite loop. report took like 45min to generate

but i'm a sql noob so my code is inefficient as it could get...
it's still a darn expensive query though

I dont know anidb database structure, but it looks not such problematic:
//assumming table names: user_files and all_files

Code: Select all

select uf.* from user_files uf where uid=<user_id>
where exists (select af.fid from all_files af 
where af.aid=uf.aid -- same anime id 
and af.eid = uf.eid -- same episode number
and af.gid=uf.gid  -- same group id 
and af.version = uf.version+1) -- and exactly next version
If there is index all_files(aid,eid,gid,version) it should be rather fast query (only one check for key in index for every user file - which means small linear cost).

you know the problem lies in the fact that versions are stored bitwise in the flags value. which also holds censoreship and crc status. anyway it's a pain and bitflags cause only problems for me
