None required. If your application demands one, just put 0 in there.

There's a JSON version of the feed available at https://feed.animetosho.org/json
I don't intend to return any files in that listing, but I could create the option to query a specific torrent, where it'll return info of the files within. Does that sound feasible to you?

where's the api key ?

Sorry about the late reply.

Indeed here is what i would like to do

1. https://animetosho.org/api/richfeed/
2. the url would return an object with something like { "feed": {"title",...more fields, "mediainfo": [{},{}] } }
3. a script i would make then parse feed titles for tags such as video audio subtitles etc., if found great pass it unaltered.
4. if no or missing tags. alter url to include them via the provided mediainfo object.
5. for mutli items releases you parse all included mediainfo objects and choose the most common. for example, if you have 10 files that are h264 and 1 h265 then the release is most likely is h264.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I didn't really want to provide too much info, as there's better sources for that, but I've added the year, which is hopefully all you need.

I'm not sure the hardware is exactly low end (have hosted on much lower specs in the past), but perhaps I pay more attention to efficiency (which can be limiting I suppose) than from what I've heard regarding how various other sites operate.

Hi,

Long time user, infrequent commenter, and thank you for all you do.

Would it be easy to add the year started to the series pages?  Example:

https://animetosho.org/series/detroit-...-city.5587
Started: 2008

It would really help identifying those series that are really old or those that have lots of seasons.

Thanks!

PS:  Really kinda amazing how low end your hardware is for how well the site(s) function.

I don't believe Newznab provides much in the way of specifying mediainfo unfortunately.
If you're referring to a feed variant which modifies titles, I'm not quite confident in that either. For one, there's no reliable way to automatically parse titles, much less figure out how to modify them.
There's also the complication of having more than one file in a torrent - mediainfo happens on a per-file basis.

Would you be able to give a clearer explanation of what exactly you're trying to do? There may be another way.

Thanks for your reply.

it's understandable that you dont want to alter them officially. is it possible to say have a an API that list Nzbs with their media info and then we can transform that data into usable form?

Thanks.

Stylus

Don't use Stylish. They're baked with privacy issues and have been known to use spyware.

Use Greasemonkey instead to modify the css.

Zippy was down for a while, missed links should be filled in on retries soon.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm rather unwilling to change names around, as the intention is to mirror with as few changes as possible (ideally none) - it might be best to suggest uploaders adopt your naming scheme if that's your goal.

Having said that, SubsPlease should be using mostly the same parameters for their releases, so it doesn't seem so useful for this particular example.

The search just tries to do word matches, so repeated words are ignored.
It turns out there's many files with "DAA" in the CRC, so matches too many things.

You can try forcing a phrase by enclosing it in quotes, like this: https://animetosho.org/search?q="Daa! Daa! Daa!"

Thanks!

I love to see a dark theme with the girls of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai or Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai. Really great anime shows 👌
And the only anime I've watched starring admin!!! is Oreimo. I've seen him in Kirino's room 😠

use stylish and modify the css (background url) from https://animetosho.org/inc/style_173.css
specify the domain where it's applied to animetosho.org

Anyway I think we will get another dark theme replacement, there's actually one dark theme in the past before hotaru, I think it's on 2011 or something

It does appear in the sea of hits this simple name gets. Dig away lol. For such cases if animetosho has them categorized under series then using anidb id instead helps in zeroing in on what you want. Probably a special search syntax can be used for searching these simple names IDK.

Any reason why
https://animetosho.org/series/351
doesn't show up on search by either romaji/eng names?

Hotaru is my preferred theme.

two months for her.

Somewhere in feedback people have outlined how to save themes on your machine. There are browser add-ons for that too.

I'm afraid we won't have Hotaru in the near future. If one another theme is added then Hotaru will be out of the list of themes to choose :(
admin, please bring down Hotaru's position in the list of themes so it wont be kicked out of the list.

If you choose it, it should stick unless you delete your cookies.

Can we have a default dark mode? (Hotaru would work perfectly.)

Thanks indeed i didn't know about the sub page of the file for some reason i thought it linked for direct DL or something lol.

i was thinking for of this case right now if you search for example from sonarr this title will be shown.

[SubsPlease] Hetalia World Stars - 06 (1080p) [7C092E60].mkv

you cant really use filters except for hard release group to get this and other filters for codec, audio etc will not function as they are not available. instead since the info already exists on AT db could the title be appended to be for exmaple

[SubsPlease] Hetalia World Stars - 06 (1080p) [7C092E60] [JA] [H264 AAC].mkv
and for dual audo would be either
[SubsPlease] Hetalia World Stars - 06 (1080p) [7C092E60] [JA+EN] [H264 AAC].mkv

this ofc if the file doesn't have tags already.

standardizing the naming is extremely helpful right now sadly most of the anime community has different ideas about release names. making automation really hard.

right now i have custom RSS filter to fix subsplease releases to be like

[SubsPlease] Hetalia World Stars - 06 [WEBDL-1080p] [JA] [H264 AAC 8bit] [7C092E60].mkv to at least make some filters of sonarr work. and give some score to the release.

Mediainfo is there for years now. It seems you just don't know how to access it!

Take this release (https://animetosho.org/view/commie-sk8-infinity-volume-1-bd-720p-aac.n1381744) as an example. If you click on any link (for example the first one: https://animetosho.org/file/commie-sk8...kv.855426) you can see all the info about video, audio and subtitle(s).

Keep up the good work, AT ;)

Click on the file name and mediainfo is displayed. Did you mean something else?

Hi, since you guys are already downloading and uploading the data, is possible for you to extract the media info and add it to titles?

some of those release really hard to gauge as they dont often have codec audio, dual/single etc.

It would really be helpful.

the dream to have correctly named episodes specially in season releases.

Show Title - ep - title [media info]

Other options:

Any AT page with an NZB link at the top has been uploaded to Usenet's long-term storage where it is available for several years.  Use the NZB link with a free access account at:

https://xsusenet.com/


SubsPlease offers files by IRC/xdcc.  It's a good system to know, but not easy to learn.

I think they've put serious limits on the free accounts now, can't blame them but I hope it doesn't affect their reputatiion, which is quite decent as far as sub groups go. I think it woulda been a better idea to limit their free accounts to DDLs of the current season - and in the smaller filesize 480/520 dpi only

I concur. best anime site ever, I've been using this place every day for years now. Love the simple page layout. Keep up the good work admin-sans

Hey, I realised I've been using AT for over 5 years now. I thought I'd just say thanks to the team that run and maintain it. Its such a good site!

As mentioned by above commenter, no search for text, but there's a FAQ page with some things.
If it's not specific to Anime Tosho, just search the web. If it is, just post it.

Thanks for the suggestion. There actually are some rules, but they only focus on skipping on downloading the torrent, not for display purposes. Also, the rules are very specific, to avoid mislabeling things, so often bypassed.

I think it may make more sense for the source sites to implement more stringent filters than a mirror, though I might look at being stricter on TokyoTosho/Anidex sources.

I don't know any more than you do, but sometimes site owners try to stop something and end up employing overly broad blocking rules. You can always try to ask them to review your ban if interested.

For the Feedback section I don't know of any.  There's no Question field to index or search on, and things change over time so it's probably better to just ask about any current question or comment you have.  There is also a frequently asked questions page, the link is under the banner.

For security?  Is there a need?  Seems everything is being handled ok.  Maybe you have some other purpose in mind?

Is there a way to search through the post so I can search already asked questions?

Hey, admin, since you parse torrents anyways, how about adding a filter that would put torrents containing executables (and maybe archives + text files) through premoderation queue?

Tabun. This is why we can't have nice things...

People that sign up for free and tank their servers deserve the rope. Is just as easy to get the same file here for free using one of the filehosts. As noted above, the free service they offer is ideal if your wanting an episode from a few weeks back that has been deleted by the filehosts used here. They should limit the free downloads to one or two a week.

Probably robo-leeching their ddl dry just to burn bandwidth.

Yeah... some people are signing up, getting the details for donations and links, and then reporting them.

I think all Erai's changes have been due to haters trying to ruin them. This was probably part of that problem.  It's very sad.

Maybe some freebie accounts have been hammering their server? Stupid assholes if thats the case since you can get the shows from the links to other filehosts rather than leeching.

If there are free accounts just downloading ALL their anime from Erai they should linit it to a few DLs a week, for use for when all the links to other filehosts are dead.

I made an account with Erai, and like you said, currently airing anime is available direct, and the archive is for paid subscription only. I don't really have the disposable income to subscribe, but fair enough I suppose. I had only download a few shows direct from them, as I mainly get my anime from here and a coupla streaming sites, so all good, the Erai Direct DL was great for when all the links here got whackamoled, which was again the case with an episode I wanted to download today, an episode one of a show which already has all the links gone, a link doesn't seem to last long these days - 2 weeks! Anyway, I nip over to Erai to use their direct DL service - and whaddya know - my account has been 'disabled' and I when trying to log in I'm offered to sign up for a new account, which I guess is their paid service?

So whats the deal? Is it maybe just like a half dozen or so free downloads before they disable the freebies?
