The only NZB category defined over at https://feed.animetosho.org/api?t=caps is 5070, "TV/Anime". Adding a Movie category such as "Movies" (2000) or "Movies/Foreign" (2010) would allow AnimeTosho to work with Radarr and other movie-only NZB tools.

On a related note, some torrents include special characters in their titles, and excluding them from searches prevent them from showing up as documented in https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr/issues/1348 . Apparently it's an NZB standard not to URI encode special characters such as apostrophes (') and periods (.), which means torrents that include these characters don't show up.

Nyaa shows up as having movie support, but not sure how that works. I haven't been able to find a capabilities endpoint. Though now that I think about it, I guess since Nyaa doesn't report whether it's a show or movie that it's not really possible to distinguish between them for NZB support?

Nyaa doesn't have any Newznab/Torznab API, they only have an RSS feed.
Some clients might have Nyaa specific logic due to its popularity.

On a similar note, I don't really have a reliable way of distinguishing between TV/movie, so all entries are set to category 5070. I could easily add 2010 to the caps endpoint, but would that make any difference if no entry is associated with that category?
Perhaps I could put all entries under both categories. I'm not sure how well tools handle that, but the Newznab API seems to allow this kind of arrangement.

The Newznab API doesn't seem to make any suggestion about removing special characters (then again, all the automation tools follow a horribly defined specification, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's done to deal with some bad implementation). I'm also somewhat unwilling to strip them out, as a number of anime titles rely on special characters, so I'm on the side of the client application needing to support not having characters stripped out.
Are you able to get the exact list of special characters that get stripped out? Maybe I can consider altering the search index based on that.

Adding 2010 to the caps would allow Radarr to search the indexer, but if all returned entries have cat 5070 it'll show up as an empty list. I imagine the way Nyaa support works is that they set the category based on the search. So if "cat=5070" is in the search params, all items will have that category. If "cat=2000" they just set all items to category 2000.

Not sure about other tools, but *arrs doesn't care how many categories are listed, as long as one of them is supported (any tool that properly follows the specs will be fine too), so adding both a TV/Anime category and a Movie category to each torrent shouldn't be a problem. (On a related note, the Nyaa indexer ( https://github.com/Prowlarr/Indexers/b...34C6-L34C6 ) has support for categories TV/Anime (5070), Movies/Other (2020) as well as categories for books, software etc., so also using 2020 for movies here makes the most sense).

If you're worried about tools failing when multiple categories are specified, a solution could be to give all items the categories that are requested in the search. So if the search has "cat=5070" you would give all items category 5070, but if the search has "cat=2020" you would give all the items category 2002.

As for special characters, it doesn't look like you need to handle anything manually. Just adding searchEngine="raw" to each search type will make sure any tools that support raw search wont remove any special characters. E.g. instead of <search available="yes" supportedParams="q"/>, you would have <search available="yes" supportedParams="q" searchEngine="raw"/> (for all 3).

Thanks for all the info!

I've added category 2020 to all items, as well as the raw search parameter. Let me know if there's any issues with it.

Did something happen with KrakenFiles?  It's been missing from the download options for about two days now.
10/09/2023 23:20 — Anonymous
The site is up but not responding to our uploads.  Wait and see.
11/09/2023 02:27 — Anonymous
It looks like they've been having increased traffic from bots, so probably their hardware can't handle it. They also limited "full speed" downloads to 10 GB. All downloads after 10 GB are throttled to 100 kb/s for 24 hours.

https://krakenfiles.com/news/10-limit-...width.html

Probs other factors too, like more devs using the api they released in Feb just overall increasing use of the site.

That's for downloads, what about uploads?!
11/09/2023 10:53 — admin
Thanks for raising that. It looks like there's been a bunch of failures, but can't point to any particular reason.
I've tweaked a few values, see if it makes any difference.

Would be glad if some new mirrors were added. Since now the popular one better UX ones are now dead!
- zippyshare
- anonfiles
- go files have rate limits
- kraken has speed fluctuations

The problem is finding replacements.  They need to allow generous uploads, maybe 200GB/day.  Not many are like that.

I think AT probably has the best available.  Hopefully people are using download managers to get the max benefit of what there is.
17/09/2023 05:28 — SoulSpark
But I still think there might be other providers that will be a good replacement for the one we have lost.
17/09/2023 10:08 — admin
Thanks for the comment - if you have any suggested hosts (see list under Will Anime Tosho support uploading to [some file host]?), they can be investigated.
17/09/2023 10:39 *SoulSpark
Thanks for the guide, idk if these will be able to fulfill all those criteria but here are (Recommended upload sites at: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=95461 ) some sites that may be a good replacement. There are some good ones that are not on that list and will require going through the forum, one such I found was https://qiwi.gg/ . Hope this was helpful
17/09/2023 12:44 *admin
Qiwi seems to require an account to upload, and I can't tell how much space is offered (or find much information about them on a quick search). It doesn't look particularly appealing at this stage, unless you happen to have more info.
Happy to hear other suggestions.
18/09/2023 16:30 *SoulSpark
quoting a post from the thread i shared
"^Qiwi and the other one you mentioned (Helurl) are just gravy trains imo.
If you check their download endpoint and find the backend IP you'll see it uses object storage from cloudflare r2 and which; as everyone in the storage section knows; offers unlimited free egress and is their main selling point but the service in itself is pretty expensive for non-businesses thus they'll have to pay up in full pretty soon as its unsustainable to offer that much storage. The current business model doesn't give confidence that they'll last for long unless they set up big pricing or get backing from the mob.
Also, offtopic info but I have had conversations with their dev team at the start of their service and they aren't from lithuania like their ToS hints at. Can't post a pvt mail on a public board but they are further to the west.

I sure hope that somehow they manage to stick around and stand good on their promise of unlimited hot storage but going to keep my expectations in check."
After a while:
"Maybe https://qiwi.gg/ can be added to the "Recommended upload sites:" now as it seems to be a bit more stable with upload tasks since last weekend. Also its becoming more prevalent amongst uploaders here already.

Hoping it survives till the year-end."

hope this help.

Thanks for the info!

thus they'll have to pay up in full pretty soon as its unsustainable to offer that much storage.
I'm not really a fan of coding up and maintaining support for a host, only to see it disappear in short time. It doesn't appear they've been around for that long either.

Do you have any suggestions on hosts that won't likely disappear in short order?
21/09/2023 16:39 — SoulSpark
I will let you know if I come across any, but seeing the recent crackdowns I don't think there might be any possibility for any such service to be stable/ not taken down in a while.

I don't know if it is asked before, but is it possible for a member to have the functionality, when logged on, you can tag your favorite serie and only show my favorites? This will make it easier for me (and other members) to see when a new episode is available, like a watch-list or something similar.

Very much like the site, busy re-watching bleach and naruto :) great fan!!!

A simple solution is to create AT search pages and leave them open in your browser between sessions for Bleach and for Naruto.

Like:
https://animetosho.org/search?q=Bleach

Detecting what is new is easiest done by reading the list

You might want to look into what RSS can do.

Next Boruto set 232-255 Dual Audio set to release November 14, 2023. They are getting slower and slower releasing these. Used to release every 2 months. Eventually went to 3 months and then the last one was like 4 months. Now 5 months. Oh well is what it is.
