TVDB Episode translation to MAL or Anilist #128

Open Arlind-dev opened 4 months ago

Arlind-dev commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug For anime series that are divided into seasons on TheTVDB but treated as a single entry on MAL or AniList, such as Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, etc., it causes issues.

This also happens with series like Haikyuu Season 4, which is split into Part 1 and Part 2. (I think that's harder to fix though since there are differences in MAL and Anilist in that case)

Even though the anime list repository is accurate, the problem persists. Is there an unknown limitation in how the system detects anime that could be causing this issue?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Watch an episode that uses TVDB metadata that is not Season 1, where Season X is part of the same MAL or Anilist entry as Season 1 (e.g., Naruto, Bleach, One Piece).
  2. Finish Episode
  3. See error

Expected behavior When using TVDB, the system should reference the anime list repository to get the absolute episode number and send that to MAL or Anilist. (I think)

Additional context I understand that we are not supposed to create issues for individual shows, but I believe this is a fundamental error. I wanted to share this in case it's helpful. If you think this is just a duplicate of other errors, feel free to close it.

We have had many issues with shows that have "awkward" episode/season numbering, and I have tried to fix this many times. I can take another look at it, the solution may be to integrate Shokofin plugin with this plugin (which I will be looking into doing) since it should provide more accurate detection of the effected shows. Thanks for raising though, I'll keep this issue open to remind me to look into it.

This might be related, but I've recently watched The Misfit of Demon King Academy. On Sonarr (TVDB), it's recognised as having Season 1 and 2. Meanwhile in AniList/AniDB/MAL, the second season is split into two separate entries. I haven't tried syncing to anything else than MAL, but what happens with such odd anime is that it won't update even if you provide the AniDB ID manually to the metadata of the individual episodes. In fact, episode information is only provided by TVDB in these cases because AniDB/AniList/etc. have the shows split into separate entries. If it would be possible to translate theTVDB episodes to MAL/AniList/AniDB or something of the sort, that would essentially fix the issue imo.
