Feature request: English show name auto matching #46

Closed bsamsom closed 7 months ago

When adding dubbed versions of shows such as "Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit" the shows will have 0 matches from the agent using the MyAnimeList.net agent.

I need to go in and manually match the show using their non-English name ("Seirei no Moribito" in this example)

This is probably due to the way the search works on MyAnimeList.net https://myanimelist.net/anime/1827/Seirei_no_Moribito?q=Moribito%3A%20Guardian%20of%20the%20Spirit&cat=anime image i.e if you search a show name in English it finds the correct results but displays it via the non-English name.

It's been a while since I implemented this but shouldn't this already be working?

Looking at the code and the agents settings there are two things you can configure:

  1. Preferred Title Language
  2. Exclude the Preferred title from search (Search will use the main title for matching)

So if you set the first one to English and disable the second, you should be able to match it with the English title.

But those are settings that would only apply to your whole library automatically.
