This script is a way to update Plex's genres and Collection tags for Anime, by normalizing tags from anidb.net. The script relies on MongoDB for caching (as Anidb is serious on IP banning people) and a few customizable CSVs for mapping and normalizing genres.
- Install requirements via
pip install -r requirements.txt - Rename settings.ini.example to settings.ini
- Update the values within for your Plex url, authentication token, and Anime library.*
- Run
python main.py
* If you have Anime and normal shows mixed in, the script will take much longer to execute.
The script utilizes heavy rate limiting to ensure no IP ban occurs. This rate cannot be changed, so go grab a bite to eat while you wait for this to finish running. Any anime that was not found in Anidb will be written to a log file.
- Some anime isn't found but I see it on anidb.net?
- You may need to fetch the latest data dump here and place into data/anime-titles.dat.
- Not all tags I want are getting sent to Plex?
- You either need to lower the min_tag_weight in settings.ini or update the genres.csv to include that as an allowed genre.
- I want one genre to represent multiple tags. How can I do this?
- Use genre_map.csv to map multiple tags into other tags. Tags get written in this order: From AniDB, min weight filter, map, take from plex if genre field is locked, then write to Plex.
