When setting up the plugin (version 2.1) in Jellyfin version 10.8.1, the provider dropdown menu comes up empty. This leaves me unable to further set up my settings.

In the log I saw this:

Tested on both my main unraid install and a fresh install on windows. Same error pops up in the log.

Just a quick question, will this scan for already watched anime and update their playback status on MAL, or will it only work for anime that I watch from now on? That would be a real bummer, because most of my stuff has already been watched back when this nice plugin wasn't yet around... :)

@reitenth
Bringing this discussion over to GitHub, I find it a bit easier to have a discussion here.
So it seems that AniSync cannot differentiate between different cours of a show; it thinks they are all part of the same season/AniList or MAL show.
At the moment I am working on the Kitsu implementation, but I am nearing the end of the development for it. After I have pushed that out, I will visit this issue and see what can be done.
I am thinking that it will require checking if the episode count in Jellyfin has gone past the detected AniList/MAL shows episode count, and if so checking to see if a separate second cour entry exists in AniList/MAL.
I will keep you updated here on how that goes, but I probably won't be able to visit this until the weekend (at the earliest) unfortunately.

I'm unsure what exactly is causing it, but the way you fetch the parameters and potentially more parts of the plugin don't work when using a tunnel like what Cloudflare offers. None of the parameters are fetched properly and it results in the config page being unresponsive and missing data.

Hey currently it only syncs anime with English titles, if you could integrate it to work with the original Japanese Title that would be awesome. MyAnimeList & Anilist both have the native title stored somewhere.

This plugin is amazing, thanks so much for making it. If this is not possible I'll gladly change the anime names back to English to keep using it.

I recently created an account on AniList and was really glad to see this feature in jellyfin-ani-sync so that I could populate it. At the moment it doesn't seem to work though, so let's figure out what's wrong 🙂

I select the action "update provider with jellyfin progress" and press run. My anilist is not updated, and in the logs I see this:

[2022-07-22 09:00:27.790 +02:00] [INF] [53] jellyfin_ani_sync.SyncProviderFromLocal: (Sync) Starting sync to provider from local process
[2022-07-22 09:00:27.791 +02:00] [INF] [53] jellyfin_ani_sync.SyncProviderFromLocal: (Sync) Retrieved Black Bullet's seasons latest watched episode and when it was watched...
<a few hundred more series>
[2022-07-22 09:00:29.271 +02:00] [INF] [53] jellyfin_ani_sync.SyncProviderFromLocal: (Sync) Retrieved Mushishi Zoku Shou's seasons latest watched episode and when it was watched...

After that nothing else relevant appears in the log.

Plugin configuration

I've only configured AniList sync (for one account), and it seems to work fine (the list is updated when I play stuff). Other than the account these settings may be relevant:

• "Ticking watched updates providers?" is set
• "Only change anime in Plan To Watch?" is not set
• "Automatically set completed shows as rewatching?" is set
• plugin is configured to only sync from two libraries (one with movies and one with shows; both only contains anime)

jellyfin_ani_sync.TaskUpdateAnimeList: User has not set anime list save location; skipping

There should be a safe location we can use as default save location, which is also pre-filled in the settings field. A normal user may not understand how crucial this list is.

I also was under the assumption that via default/empty setting the plugin would actually use the plugin folder or some default Jellyfin temp/lib folder to store this list.

I would rephrase this This is not necessary, but will make anime detection much more reliable, to reflect that only with AniList as metadata provider the list is not needed, otherwise this should be mandatory given all the lookup issues.

There should also be a hint/advise to only use one metadata provider per anime library, based on what folder/file naming is used, otherwise just stacking multiple AniList/AniDB/TvDB/TMDB will lead to mixed results. I would assume most users are not aware of the issue that "normal" Anime has no official seasons and the TvDB/TMDB season ordering/numbering is kinda arbitrary and manually maintained.

Main point is a normal user may not check the server logs and just assumes this plugin works like trakt with 100% accuracy, without understanding the inherent problems regarding finding the correct Anime/season/episode, depending on the metadata source.

https://www.anime-planet.com/

Does not have a public API, but the requests are easy to understand.

for example, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai has the same english title and romaji title on anilist and it never scrobbles. another example is dance dance danseur. thanks for the help.

Please support annict.
There is also a tool to synchronize viewing history from annict to anlist, but there is a problem with accuracy. Additionally, you have to sync manually.

error message: {"error":"invalid_client","message":"Client authentication failed"}

With the higher accuracy, maybe a 2-way sync like the trakt plugin is now possible?

Maybe there is a somewhat reasonable way to-do this now, its just super convienent to have all your watched status in trakt and simply do a sync on a fresh install, so everything is back where you left.

So for normal shows/movies using the trakt plugin i dont have to care about any backup or library state, i can just reinstall the server point it to my libs and via a trakt resync all watched states are set to where i left off.

Would be super cool to have this also for Anime, but i understand that this can be more complex to get right.

I followed all the steps specified in the guide. But after allowing and approving API access from MAL, a token is generated but the response says "Error processing request."

I'm pasting the relevant bits from the logs here.:

Hi,

when i try to use anilist i have this error in the jellyfin log :

I have setup the app following the installation guide and when i go into the plugin settings and test authentification i got the message saying it's working

Thank you for authenticating *****.

I wiped the config file and switched back to MAL and it's working with MAL which is almost the same setup.

According to the anime-list README the defaulttvdbseason attribute can be 0, 1 or a meaning that this line will fail to recognize certain shows such as One Piece.

  <anime anidbid="69" tvdbid="81797" defaulttvdbseason="a">

  </anime>

I can not get the save path location to work?

If i try cache\ani-sync via settings, i get:
Error: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\jellyfin\cache\ani-sync\eyjak5cp.3ua' ?

The issue seems to-be because i started jellyfin-server with the datadir option: jellyfin.exe --datadir d:\_configs\jellyfin\
Is there a way to respect this datadir, so i don't have to fully specify the absolute path?

Disclaimer: I don't know how to use this plugin even after reading the documentation several times.

The issue

Hi, I'm trying to setup jellyfin-ani-sync, so I add your repo and install the plugin. I restarted several times but I still have the same problem.
Status: NotSupported

I'm a bit lost. Also, when I click on the plugin to configure it, I get this error.

I don't know if it's related

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4, I don't know if it's an architecture problem, or something else.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.

When I have this plugin installed ticking a show in Jellyfin regardless of where I tick it only seems to "tick off" a single episode, default Jellyfin behavior is to tick off the entire show unless you are ticking an episode specifically rather than using the show heading or jellyfin homepage. My use case is that I'm importing hundreds of shows (thousands of episodes) into Jellyfin and clicking the watched "tick" to mark them as watched, ideally that would mark the entire show as completed on my MAL too using this plugin with the option "Ticking watched updates providers?" selected in plugin settings.

I've noticed that this plugin will not update an anime if I watch it on the Jellyfin Android TV app. It will update if I watch it on my PC using the Jellyfin MPV Shim though. Same user.

Hi Vosmiic,

I've done some testing and it looks like there something going on with how password are parsed when authenticating for the Kitsu Provider.

It looks like if you have a # or some other special characters in your password it will just off in the URL.

In the below example the log showed my password only before the # and nothing after.

[2023-01-25 02:09:05.891 +00:00] [ERR] Error processing request: "Could not retrieve Kitsu token: BadRequest - Bad Request". URL "GET" "/AniSync/passwordGrant".
[2023-01-25 02:09:05.891 +00:00] [WRN] Slow HTTP Response from "http://**IP ADDRESS**/AniSync/passwordGrant?provider=Kitsu&userId=**USERID**&username=**USERNAME**&password=**PASSWORD**" to "**IP ADDRESS**" in 0:00:05.2603923 with Status Code 401

After changing my password to remove # it now allows authentication.

The plugin is not updating this on Anilist whenever I finish an episode for some reason and I have to manually do it. This is the Anilist id: 114745. Here is a ss of my Jellyfin library. Might be because it has a unique title compared to just "Made in Abyss." Thanks!

i cant authenticate and i dont really understand why im very confused

Hi, the plugin is not appearing in Catalogue after adding the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vosmiic/jellyfin-ani-sync/master/manifest.json

Crash due to an ArgumentNullException when sending an update to my lists.

This is using 2.7.1.0 on Jellyfin 1.0.9.8.

Make possible to setup plugin and providers through environment variables.

This is need for docker jellyfin distributions easier setup.

Any plans to add support to map tvdb to Anilist/AniDB, this way we can keep the tvdb meta's + season view and let the scrobbler handle the mappings?

Examples on how others do this:
custom_mappings.yaml
https://github.com/RickDB/PlexAniSync
and user maintained list
https://github.com/mizz141/PlexAniSync-Mappings

If you adapt the yaml 1:1 we could use the same maintained lists for both plugins?

More complex is use those translation lists or https://thexem.info api
https://github.com/Anime-Lists/anime-lists

I followed the instructions in the wiki and successfully authenticated my user but when I try to sync the progress in Jellyfin to match AniList it starts the scan and fetches the data then fails? I don't know why this is happening, here's the log (the fetch ends at line 2972) because i really can't pinpoint the error that's happening.

https://shikimori.one

Hey there,
firstly, thank you for the plugin. However I have an issue and I am unsure if it's the intended behavior of the plugin or a limit of jellyfin itself.

If I watch an epsiode normally then syncing progress works just fine, however if I manually set an epsiode to finished within Jellyfin it doesn't syncronize its watched status on Anilist or Myanimelist.

Now, the problem is, that I use jellyfin on my ShieldTV with an external player (If you don't own a ShieldTV: You can basically use the Jellyfin interface but use other players, VLC in my Case, for playback instead of the native Android Exoplayer) because Jellyfin in itself is only capable of downmuxing 5.1 content to stereo but not transcoding 5.1 DTS/DD to a simple 5.1 PCM signal like VLC can. Jellyfin however can not automatically detect the progress of the episode if you use an external player and thus you have to manually set the episode to "finished/watched" after each episode.

Works fine for jellyfin but as described above Anilist/MAL doesn't pick up the watch status then.

Is this something that can be added/fixed?

If not, a simple task scheduler to add the "manually sync progress from jellyfin to the provider" option would be another alternative if this feature can't be implemented easily otherwise. I tried the manual syncing feature and then the correct progress shows up on the providers but obviously an automatic task scheduler would be much preferred in that case.

Thank you very much.

Seeing this on windows? Check the creation flags to allow overrides or maybe use a rename, create logic?

Plugin is not updating myanimelist when I finish an episode for Detective Conan anime. I have the metadata of TvDB linked. For all the other anime, it seems to be good.

Am I missing something? Any suggestions to fix it? I was not able to find any errors logged.

I try to connect my Anilist account but I can't, I always get 404

i made two api clients in anilist. both redirect urls say this is the correct url but when i try authorizing it always says invalid client. i copy and pasted the client id and secret and both should be correct. my jellyfin server is on my synology if that makes a difference, don't see why it would. maybe it takes some time for anilist to make the api or should it be instant? thanks for your help.

Thanks for adding support for annict.
However, if I select annict as my provider, I cannot save the settings.

With other providers I can save the settings, but when I select Annict, I cannot save the settings even if I enter my Personal Access Token.

I have rebooted and reinstalled the plugin to no avail.

Jellyfin Version: 10.7.7
Plugin version: 1.6.0.0
Browser tested: Firefox, and Chrome

Issue: When trying to select provider, the drop-down menu is not showing any options.

And hence cannot proceed with authorization.

Please also consider adding anilist.co support.

Thanks

This will be ideal for independent configuration #53 and multi user jellyfin setup.

Also imagine how cool be when you watching anime with syncplay feature and it will update progress for all participants.

Installed plugin and confirmed it worked properly. When watching live tv from the account configured in the plugin to sync to MyAniList Jellyfin will crash after existing live tv. I've looked through the logs but can't find anything that stands out besides this Unhandled Exception from right before it crashes. This is me hitting the back button to exist live tv, this also does not happen on any other user that is not configured to use the plugin.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

please add the ability to login to anidb and track to mylist directly from the plugin. Its annoying to have to manually update mylist on anidb.
And provide options to do the following

features

• Scrobble newly added anime (anime imported into jf, is added into anidbs mylist. Ignore if already present on mylist)
• default import status (when added in above, set status to defaultm for example set to unwatched by default, then when the user watches 1 episode it can change to watched)
• track watched and completed episodes
• check status of already watched anime on jf (series says you completed it on jellyfin, but is set as not completed on anidb? have it mark it as complete)
• an option to don't unwatch stuff" on mylist if its marked as unwatched after previously being watched in jellyfin
• scan for subgroups on files and mark it in mylist
• see user ratings
• add start/end watching dates to mylist

failsafes

• ignore entires that dont have an anidb page number (if you have an anime in your library, and it couldnt find the anidb id for metadata, completely ignore it so it doesnt mess up mylist)

• a history feature with ability to revert recent changes (failsafe in case it adds an anime with wrong metadata, accidentally marks the wrong anime/bunch of episodes as watched, etc.)

Hey pal, I've found that it only updates MAL for the last person to join a syncplay group. It'd be great if you could look into this if possible. Thanks

I've been trying to set this up. I've checked test url and got confirmation. I've tried using local IP and my DNS setup. I believe I have my api setup correctly on MAL. I get the following error when trying.

[12:07:43] [ERR] [98] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request: Could not retrieve Mal token: Unauthorized - Unauthorized. URL GET /AniSync/authCallback.

When I hit allow on MAL i get a blank page that says "Error processing request."

Any ideas?

The progress does not sync with anilist, I am using tvdb format for organizing.
anilist link- https://anilist.co/anime/145139/Demon-Slayer-Kimetsu-no-Yaiba-Swordsmith-Village-Arc/

Do I need this? I use anilist. Where do I get Client ID/ Client Secret?

Edit:
I reinstalled the plugin and the space issue was gone, so I guess I was doing something wrong.
The 'Error processing request' was a problem with my Browser (Firefox Nightly) using Edge fixed the issue.

So when you try to configure the plugin, after you add all the API info (client ID / secret). You click on the 'Authorize User' and it generates a URL like:
https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=XXXX&redirect_uri= https://mypage.dns.net/AniSync/authCallback
Note the space after the &redirect_uri=

So that obviously won't work once you paste that on your browser, after removing that space the page loads, I click the Authorize button and I get a:
Error processing request.

in the browser console, I see some information and:
Status 401 Unauthorized

The URL change to something like:
https://mypage.dns.net/AniSync/authCallback?code=LongCodeHere

Also, it actually adds that space in the jellyfin-ani-sync.xml (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\jellyfin\plugins\configurations)
<callbackUrl> https://mypage.dns.net</callbackUrl>
So I removed that extra space too

Thanks for the plugin!

When an anime has multiple seasons, watching an episode of a later season updates the first season in AniList.

For example, Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai
Here's an excerpt of a log line I added:

season: 2, episode: 11, providers: 'Tvdb': '388317', 'AniList': '113970', 'AniDB': '15313', 'Tmdb': '103511', 'Imdb': 'tt12792684'

We can see AniSync knows it's the second season, but the ProviderIds point to the first season. Since the values are in the list, AniSync will update the first season instead of looking up for the second, disregarding the season number.

If we look in anime-list-full.xml, we can see this:

<anime anidbid="15313" tvdbid="388317" defaulttvdbseason="1">
  <name>Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai</name>
</anime>
...
<anime anidbid="16310" tvdbid="388317" defaulttvdbseason="2">
  <name>Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai (2022)</name>
</anime>

I feel like there is an error in the XML data lookup, as there are 2 entries for the series, one for each season, but it seems like we don't pick the second one.

For information, series in my Jellyfin instance are in the following format:

Series
    Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai
        Season 01
            Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai - S01E01 - episode_title.mkv
        Season 02
            Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai - S02E01 - episode_title.mkv

Jellyfin Server: 10.8
AniSync: 2.0.1 (also present in latest commit)

Hello, I'm running into this issue in which if I run the manual sync the plugin works, both from and to AniList; but the scheduled task, either waiting for it to happen or running it by clicking the play button, doesn't do anything at all, the log just says:

[2023-02-01 01:54:08.092 +01:00] [INF] [26] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: Executing "AniSync Update Anime List"
[2023-02-01 01:54:08.355 +01:00] [INF] [20] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: "AniSync Update Anime List" Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds
[2023-02-01 01:54:08.357 +01:00] [INF] [20] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: ExecuteQueuedTasks

I do wonder if it's something I've done wrong or not, but considering that the manual sync does work I don't get what else I can do.

Thanks in advanced.

When authenticating I see the following error:

{"error":"invalid_client","message":"Client authentication failed"}

I'm using a subdirectory as the baseURL but the test url still returns the correct verbiage. I'm running Jellyfin in docker so I can't easily see the logs and whatnot, so I have no idea what the cause of this error is. The API secrets and ID's all check out on the website but this could be similar to #25 where the xml doesn't have the correct values. Do you know if I could try inspecting the website and see if the values are stored in a place that is easier to access?

Getting the following error:
[ERR] [41] jellyfin_ani_sync.UpdateProviderStatus: Video does not contain required index numbers to sync; skipping
What exactly does this mean? What am I missing?
Thanks!

There are certain series like Monogatari, where display order "aired" only shows 5 seasons and has the rest of the episodes under "Specials." Using display order "DVD" it list the proper 10 seasons with all the episodes under the correct seasons.

This is an issue because ani-sync only uses the default display order, which is "aired." It doesn't know if something is under display order "DVD." This leads to the wrong season episode being synced (ex. s05e01 is being marked read, but s07e01 gets synced in mal/anilist). I am using the TVDB plugin.
