Maintain a (local) database for anime files. Contains scripts to hash and sort anime files, as well as looking up files in AniDB utilizing the yumemi Python module.

Requirements

• Python 3 (>=3.6)
• yumemi Python module (optional, for interacting with AniDB)
• SQL database
  • PostgreSQL works, and is recommended
  • SQLite3 works, but does not support the numeric collation, edit anime.py: ep = Column(String(collation="numeric")) => ep = Column(String)

Configuration file

Copy weltschmerz.cfg.example to weltschmerz.cfg and adjust as necessary.

Import AniDB MyMist export

It is recommended to import your MyList first, as that will populate the Anime, Episode, and File tables.

1. Request an xml-plain-full export of your MyList at AniDB - MyList Export
2. Download export file
3. Extract the export file:tar xf <mylist_export>.tgz
4. Parse the export and populate the local database: ./parse_mylist_export.py --mylist-xml-files anime/a*.xml

Hash local files

./filehasher.py --folders /anime/by-id/00/00/01/ /anime/by-id/00/00/02/

Add files to your AniDB MyList

Lookup the local files in AniDB and add them to your MyList, if they are present in AniDB. ./anidb.py --source-basedir /anime/by-id --debug --online

Deduplicate local files

Interactively deduplicate local files, as well as set the modified time of duplicate files to the oldest one. ./remove_dupes.py --preferred-directory-pattern /anime/by-id

Sort local files

Sort/Move files, this will put the files into folders according to their anime ids (padded to 6 digits) from AniDB. e.g. files for Seikai no Monshou (anime id 1) will be put in <target_basedir>/by-id/00/00/01.

./move_files.py --source-basedir /anime/unsorted --target-basedir /anime

Create symlinks for local anime folders

To be able to look for local anime by name, create symlinks to point to the folders created by "Sort local files". This creates a by-name folder under the target basedir.

1. Download anime titles dump (XML) from AniDB, see AniDB Wiki - API/Anime Titles for instructions.
2. Decompress the title dump: gunzip anime-titles.xml.gz
3. Run script to create the symlinks: ./animetitle.py anime-titles.xml /anime/
