@ Luca Chiaravalloti
First, as I said before, I have no problem sharing your work on GitHub.

Second, don't worry about informing people about existence of CartoonPlayer. I'll spread the word (just after developing a decent version of the tool)

I clicked on some old Jheberg links and they were very slow in responding so I'd guess some problems at their site, maybe DDoS.

Sure about this? The critics about the subs at nyaa are devastating. They recommend Kametsu's release, which is here and has still living SF links:
https://animetosho.org/view/kametsu-he...io.n581938

can someone fetch this? Thanks!
https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=158695

Why Jheberg is being left out of recent releases? Just curious...

Ah okay and I was only talking about the ones mainly currently airing at the moment.

Well I didn't know that since I'm not watching Dragon Ball Super.

But thanks again for the info.

@Envy
While that is true that FUNi is focusing on dubs, they still offer subtitled versions of Dragon Ball Super and One Piece. As well as subtitles for their catalogue (older shows) releases. It's just the 'current' season shows that are dub-only aside from the two mentioned. FUNimation doesn't have dubs for either of those two shows on their site either. Since Dragon Ball Super is airing on Toonami, I believe Adult Swim's website has the rights to stream the dub for now as usual with the other anime they air.

It's been deleted.

Now I could be wrong but I know Dragon Ball Super is on CR and it's softsubbed of course.

I saw online where someone said looks like CR is focusing on subbing and FUNI on dubs since the two joined up together. (Seeing how the shows FUNI got the rights to is on CR fully softsubbed)

But this was clearly ripped from FUNI but hey I'm not watching this so I wouldn't really know.

Admin, can this one be nuked "https://animetosho.org/view/animerg-dragon-ball-super-80-720p-hardsub-releasebitch-mkv.1073972" ?
It's not subbed. Bot ripped from Funimation, but seems like Soft subs are being used on funi now.

Life before Rapidleech...

Thing is though, for fetching torrents to a download link, such services already exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedbox
https://torrentfreak.com/10-reasons-wh...ox-080715/
http://seedboxgui.de/seedbox/

It's just that many don't want to pay for one*. I also have no intention of paying for a seedbox for others to use for free either (though if someone is willing to do such a thing, they're welcome to share it here).
* Free seedboxes may exist if you search, though if you do find one, they're usually quite restricted

Basically it's unreliable, but a useful option if it works.
If you're interested, here's some more commentary:
https://animetosho.org/feedback?page=2...omment6612
https://animetosho.org/feedback?page=2...omment6515

Github is hot and trendy at the moment, but I don't think it's really that necessary. If you use a version control system like Git, SVN etc there are code hosting platforms out there that you can push to, and it shouldn't be hard to figure it out.
If not, you can just upload a ZIP of your code on your website - I don't really see much of a problem with doing that.

For builds, I'd recommend distributing a 32-bit build rather than 64-bit. 32-bit OSes are dying in popularity these days, but it still is smaller and uses less RAM. ffprobe looks quite big - if all you need is duration, something like Mediainfo is probably smaller (it also comes in a library, though I don't know if there's a Java binding for it).

From what I've seen, not quite. I suppose in some ways, it is, but the main difference here is the user interface.

Actually, the workflow and user interface is what I'd see as the biggest problem with your program. Usage is pretty straight forward, but there's quite a number of steps that need to be performed before you can watch anything. As such, I feel that directly integrating into a player is more useful, as reduces setup complexities and doesn't need an external utility.

The programming otherwise seems to be quite solid. Apart from a few minor UI issues (for example, it's hard to unselect a radio/option button if you accidentally click it), it seems quite stable, and does wnat you have wanted it to do. I would recommend making the workflow a little more automatic - you seem to have a number of confirmation dialogs and even a forced 5 second delay before anything starts playing. Ultimately, many actions aren't particularly hard to revert, so I think it'd make more sense to remove those and let the user fix up any mistakes later. This also includes making series setup auto configure by default.

As for alternatives, others have pointed out a few. I also found that Kodi automatically remembers playback position as well as what's been played before, which might interest you. However, auto handling of opening/ending songs is fairly custom and I doubt that any other program handles this. On the same note, I'm not sure how common this is though?

Quite a few commenters have already provided advice. I'd recommend looking for other sites which may have larger / more interested audiences. I don't browse enough to provide suggestions, but this may be a starting point.

Yes, you are correct.

Seems like you know what it is (it's a file format). I specifically mentioned it because Matroska has a feature which allows external files to be linked in (aka ordered chapters). This is sometimes used if the OP/ED has been removed from the episodes, as the main episode file can just point to the OP and ED files to stitch them in correctly. In other words, when you choose to play the episode, even though it doesn't contain the video/audio data for the opening/ending, it can still play them because it references another file for these.

It seems like you're not trying to handle MKV ordered chapters though, only those where they've just completely removed the OP/ED from the file with nothing to link it back in.

hello, im relatively new and i usually download files either torrent or by the hosting DL sites. I actually dont have a problem in here but i got interested on a certain feature of animetosho and that is the DIRECT DOWNLOAD(with password) I actually tried and used this feature once when downloading cross angie and its pretty good feature because itz pretty simple. But some time later it stopped, showing me message that it "bound to happen from time to time" and it tells me try to "use it on other time"
So anybody here know something about that feature? Or is it just me and my computer ?

Any good, helpful and friendly feedback would be pretty much appreciated.

Will wait for the new batch then.

"You might have read comments on our previous downloads about me having discovered better encoding settings that give better quality with smaller filesize, with which we plan to re-do DB."

--Comments from this Baba torrent on Nyaa.  So I guess the plan now is to re-do all of DB.

The question was about 1-click-hosters.  Someone had suggested a problem with a specific type of host.

AT wasn't intended for individual requests.  It's a mass distribution system for new content.  After all, there's no sense in creating links at 30 download hosts for single user's requests.  The system matches the site goals, as found in the FAQ:

"AnimeTosho only mirrors new files posted to TokyoTosho/Nyaa's anime category and does not accept arbitrary mirror requests. I suggest trying to ask someone to help you on a filesharing forum, or perhaps use a torrent to DDL mirroring service (or get your own seedbox)."


And here are the instructions under article comment boxes:

"Please be aware of the following before commenting:

    Expired links do NOT get reuploaded as files are deleted after we process them"

Those are the intentions, and the Direct links are a bonus.

There's mpv player which another contender for best media player for anime. Lightweight, less cpu usage, portability. If you've hard time playing 1080p content, try it

MEGA.nz link still working.

Then wouldn't it be better to scrap the Direct link feature and just add re-fetching per request with some kind of time limit (to stop spamming)

A quick Google search will show you that many countries now have site block-list, especially file-sharing sites. It's worse on India.

that was Son Goku Saga you're referring to.

Using MPC-HC (a very popular video player for anime, etc):

1. Right click the icon on the Windows taskbar and it will show the last 10 files MPC-HC played, if you select this Taskbar feature under "Tweaks".  Open the program and "Files/Recent Files" will show up to the last 999 files opened in order of recency including the file locations, if these options are selected under "Player/History" and "Advanced".  Click to play any file in the list.

2. MPC-HC will auto-resume playback where you exited a show, if you choose this option under "Player/History".

3. MPC-HC will auto-normalize audio on playback so all  files have the same loudness, if you choose this option under "Internal Filters/Audio Switcher".

4. MPC-HC handles the auto-insertion into playback of separate openings and endings if they exist, although this is now really just a legacy feature.  No one chops off the OP and ED anymore.

5. Program update checks are automatic, if you choose that option under "Miscellaneous".

Perhaps you can offer something more, but if what people can have by just using the video players' features is 99% of what they might want, plus the ease of mind using well known products and easy updates as frequently as they are needed...  

As for kids: Anime and cartoons are different audiences.  I wouldn't want anyone who is too young to understand how to safely download files and use a standard media player to be watching random titles at an anime site.  Not unless cleavage, catsuits and bloody violence are part of your kiddie culture.  And Cartoon Network doesn't intend to give you any opportunities for independent playback.  If what you offer is of use to Italian cartoon sites for children great, but I don't see any reason to recommend it at an anime site like AT.

https://mpc-hc.org/

I'd wait 24 hours.  Up to v4's in the past with this source.

easiest and fast way to publish would be to use GitHub's official client if you are not so keen on dealing with Git.

Please make an exception for https://animetosho.org/view/pendekar-d...io.n903297

As you can see, everybody reads the comments section here so people who are interested will know about your product.  AT does not post featured links on the homepage for any site.

Ok, thank you for all your suggestions, i will provide an unbundled version and i will publish it on github, but i need time to understand github and more time to comment the code before to publish it. But can you help me to make to know that CartoonPlayer exist? I think that other persons with my same needs exist, and are members of community like animetosho.

First of all I think you should unbundle Java JRE from the setup file. There are many Java applications that do the same and announce on their websites that their tool needs Java JRE to work while offering a link referring to Oracle's Java JRE download page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html), Or at least provide an unbundled version on your site alongside the original file. The smaller the size, the more approachable the file.
And secondly, I can share your work on GitHub. Just give me a way to contact you and access the source code.

Nice!
And I could tell from your comment on MPlayer/SMPlayer.

Sorry but why don't you post the source code on GitHub yourself?

K-lite is cancer

Nice to see, you're considering open development. Sadly, I've got no experience with JAVA :(

I don't have linux, if anybody wants the source code, to make it available for another os, i can give it. If it is useful to make CartoonPlayer as an open tool available to the community it is also possible. The code is NOT documented and actually i am not able to use github, i don't know how it work. But if anybody wants to contribute and put it on github, is welcome.

Yes, all you are right. CartoonPlayer has a so big size because has attached a JRE. It fits very custom needs, it was thought for children. So I called it CartoonPlayer, probably My children are current seeing more of ten anime series. I need a notepad to record the current episode for each of them. An adult person doesn't follow such a lot of series in the same days, and so remembers easily what is the current episode. Moreover an adult doesn't care the songs like children do. So it's not important to put in sequence Opening Song, episode and Ending Song.

I don't say that CartoonPlayer is a great, fantastic utilty, but only it can be useful for who is in my situation, so i want to share it. Can you advertise its existence to community? Naturally it's free, i did it and my only gratification is to see CartoonPlayer used by many people.

I like such efforts to develop a software, that fits special needs. So I was interested. I downloaded the package and unpacked the files to look into it. Although I personally don't have a  need for CartoonPlayer's features and don't even run Windows.

Useful information as I didn't know it because I haven't downloaded and installed it (and don't intend to due to the lack of need).

CartoonPlayer can be useful, as I noted before, after optimization and further development by for example removing JRE from the setup file or need to having JRE installed altogether by re-coding the tool in C++ or python, making it portable and ...

CartoonPlayer includes a complete JAVA runtime and some binaries of ffmpeg. That's the reason of the size. Assuming, they're already present on the system, the package could be much smaller. Likely 90 percent gain, I guess.

Of course they're totally different.
Matroska is a media container while CartoonPlayer is more a playlist maker and video marker tool/plugin.

Many of the settings offered by newborn CartoonPlayer can be found in MPC-HC (which can play any video/audio codec on earth if installed via the great K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).
Videos can be resumed from where they were stopped/closed by adding them to Favorites menu. Before closing/stopping a video, go to Favorites -> Add to Favorites... (from the menu bar or by right-clicking on screen) and whenever you want to watch unfinished videos just launch MP-HC and go to Favorites menu and select your desired file from the list. A large number of files can be marked via Favorites menu for later watching.

I had the time to read carefully what Matroska is. Matroska and CartoonPlayer are two completely different things.

It seems CartoonPlayer is compatible with only 64-bit systems and it's too large (50MB) considering the fact that K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (the ultimate media player and one of the best ones out there. It seems there's nothing it can't play. Actually it's a codec pack as the name implies and its bundled player is MPC-HC) is around 42MB, VLC is about 30MB, KMPlayer is almost 36MB, GOM Player is roughly 27MB and Potplayer is approximately 21MB (all before installation).

Media players (if not all, many of them) are quite capable nowadays. MPC-HC (which can play any video/audio codec on earth if installed via the great K-Lite Mega Codec Pack) can be configured to remember last playlist, file position, DVD position, last window position, last window size, always launch files in full screen, delay (+ or -) subtitle or audio to sync media streams, change subtitle color (just if it's not already stylized and modified like in anime shows) and ...

And many of the settings offered by newborn CartoonPlayer can be found in MPC-HC. Videos can be resumed from where they were stopped/closed by adding them to Favorites menu. Before closing/stopping a video, go to Favorites -> Add to Favorites... (from the menu bar or by right-clicking on screen) and whenever you want to watch unfinished videos just launch MP-HC and go to Favorites menu and select your desired file from the list. A large number of files can be marked via Favorites menu for later watching.

Of course efforts made by CartoonPlayer developer are appreciated and someday it can be a great companion tool if it's optimized and further developed.

I don't need these features severely and so stick with regular mplayer and mpv. But SMPlayer as a frontend for both (historically only mplayer) remembers played files with stetting. Those three tools are open source and cross-platform.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/smplayer/

Do you mean Matroska does what CartoonPlayer does? I read wikipedia, i can't find any proof of that. See the tutorial on www.cartoonplayer.net

You are right, it is not specific to cartoons, any audio-video files can be used with cartoonplayer, but i needed it for my children so i called it cartoonplayer. I am italian, and when i was child ('80) i saw a lot of beautiful anime, so now i show those anime to my children.

You wrote: "I ultimately feel that a media player which could remember last playback position (and perhaps playback config, including volume), as well as auto-mark played videos would be more useful".

CartoonPlayer is exactly that you wrote, you can think cartoonplayer as a wrapper of MPC-HC or VLC that adds the features you wrote about. I searched for such a media-player, but actually doesn't yet exist. If you know any, write to me.

CartoonPlayer is very new, i published it only two days ago. Can you help me to let know CartoonPlayer to animetosho community, publishing a link in a visited page of the community?

Please spend some time to try CartoonPlayer and say to me what do you think about that.

Ultimately, you wrote: "In regards to this OP/ED handling though, I presume that this doesn't relate to MKV ordered chapters, only those where it's split up with no linking whatsoever? How does it handle shows with multiple OP/EDs?"

I don't understand it very well: Can you explain to me all the meaning? OP/ED stands for OPening/EDing songs? And what does MKV means?

Thank you any way for your kindness
