Question: Get anidb id from TMDB #450

Open zoriya opened 2 months ago

Hi first, thanks for the work in maintaining this list!

For Kyoo, I need to retrive anidb ids from the movie db. Since only tvdb ids are available here, I wonder how consumers that do not use tvdb (since the API is premium) do to map items.

TheMovieDb and TVDB season/episode number does not map 1to1 (for example Jujutsu Kaisen has 2 season en TVDB but only one on TMDB) and OAV/Movies (season 0) does not always match, so I don't think using the Find By ID endpoint of TMDB can be used.

They don't. This list only maps TMDB movie IDs (no series) and TVDB series IDs (no movies)

But Plex's HAMA and Jellyfin's Ani-Sync can retrieve anidb ids for episodes, can't they?

BrutuZ commented 2 months ago

AFAIK they only deal with AniDB's main entries (shows/seasons) IDs, not individual episodes'. Same as the list

zoriya commented 2 months ago

With the list, you can map TVDB s2e13 to a specific anidb_id/episode_nbr, they do that, no?

BrutuZ commented 2 months ago

The other way around, AniDB to TVDB based on episode numbers, but essentially yes.

Once again, TMDB series are simply not supported at all because there's only one field and their IDs are not unique, which caused uncomfortable issues at some point (linked on Readme). If you need TMDB series mapping this is not the list you want.

I see, would adding tmdb mapping for series (as a new value for backward compatibility) be considered in the future? Most services migrated from tvdb to tmdb with their new pricing, so I believe I wouldn't be the only one interested
