Hello,
I'm trying to create a scraper to read from a local db, and I'm having some issues.
Here's a bit of background first... I want to use anidb to look up anime shows and movies, but I immediately get banned when I use the provided anidb scraper. So instead I wrote a program to look up show data for given files and store it locally, then wrote another program which serves this data in a kodi-friendly way. The final step is writing a kodi scraper to read from this local db.
However, I'm having absolutely no luck getting this to work.
For instance, if I have a file called "ninja scroll (bluray - 1080p).mkv", I would look up the data using "http://linux-media:8080/animelookup/anime?filename=ninja scroll (bluray - 1080p)", where linux-media is a computer on my lan specified in /etc/hosts. This returns:
My scraper looks like this:
I've edited advancedsettings.xml to add this line to the tvshowmatching tag (prepend):
This isn't working and I'm not sure why. Kodi's logfile says there was an error processing the xml. I'm sure it's something really noobish. I can change the output of my server if that's complicating things.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
