CR pages in other language than English US are not parseable #1

Closed Godzil closed 6 years ago

Godzil commented 8 years ago

If crunchy try to get an anime page from a non english version of CR, it does not parse correctly the page.

Solution would be to use the RSS file instead of the web page:

Use

http://www.**.com/gintama.rss

instead of

http://www.**.com/gintama

This must be done transparently to the end user.

Can this be made as an option? I worry that, for example, the RSS for One Piece is broken. It is showing the new Gold movie as the latest episode.

Godzil commented 8 years ago

Hum? weird, are you sure it's in the episode list? The iOS/Android/WiiU/... version of CR does not use the same mecanisme to get episodes list as the website, they use something like the RSS feed which seemed pretty stable on what I've looked.

Anyway there is currently no easy way to support of possible languges in CR, I will take a look at the one you talk about.

Edit: sorry I can't check this one as.. not available outside the US \o/

This is what I was talking about: http://feeds.feedburner.com/crunchyroll/one-piece

Note how there is only one episode. The latest movie. Compare to: http://feeds.feedburner.com/crunchyroll/naruto

Yes I see the same thing, but are you sure that.. There this is not true and CR only have that movie? But anyway, I found another potential issue with using RSS which is a shame as metadata are formated quite nicely there unlike the webpages :(

johnfigs commented 8 years ago

I am sure. CR has all the episodes licensed in the US.

Godzil commented 8 years ago

Ok, I will probably add some debug options to allow me to understand page layout when I can get the page on my side.

So just to get it correctly, on your side the RSS only give the movie, but on the main page, you have the movie and all the episodes? Weird

johnfigs commented 8 years ago

Yes, correct. I agree. There are a couple complaints in the crunchyroll forums regarding this issue.

So a good news in this area, I may have some ideas on what to do for supporting different page languages and would solve issues like in #76
