v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 7

This is the seventh demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 6:

• Updated proxy code (Issue #4)
• Added a few episode titles to the AniDB bad title list (designed to help reduce the likelihood of using lazy AniDB titles)

All other notes from Demo 6 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 6

This is the sixth demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 5:

• Fixed an issue which was slowing series matching.
• Tweaked the new AniDB AntiBan support behaviour (was on by default in demo 5, now only used when required).
• Fixed an error caused by missing metadata.
• Added a AniDB 'Bad Episode Name' list (the agent will skip AniDB episode title metadata if it matches any pattern in the new list).

All other notes from Demo 5 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 5

This is the fifth demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 4:

• Tweaked series matching scores (previously some scores were lower than expected).
• Switched to using image thumbnails for TvDB & AniDB sources (this reduces the agents bandwidth usage and speeds up initial metadata download times; side effect is reduced quality of images in the Plex edit menu's though if selected then the full quality images are retrieved).
• Added AniDB AntiBan support for various scenarios (including but not limited to multiple servers sharing the same external IP; this will significantly reduce the likelihood of an AniDB ban for large libraries).

All other notes from Demo 4 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 4

This is the forth demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 3:

• Added support non-windows OS's.
• Reworked TheTVDB series/season poster ordering (will now default to highest rated).
• Added ordering by name for roles.

All other notes from Demo 3 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 3

This is the third demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 2:

• Added support for Plex theme music.
• Removed restrictions to improve filename support.
• Corrected a v0.1.4 branch folder name which was causing clones of that branch to fail.
• Added http exception handling

All other notes from Demo 2 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 2

This is the second demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as an update to the previous demo, as it is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

Changes since demo 1:

• Improved series matching results
• Improved series search speed
• Partial support for Hama's custom folders (i.e. tvdb2, anidb2, etc)
• Reworked absolute numbering episode detection
• Slight increase in the AniDB Anti-Ban timer
• A few minor tweaks to the metadata formatting

All other notes from Demo 1 are still applicable.

v0.1.4 Alpha Demo 1

This is the first demo of the newly re-coded AMSA and isn't compatible with any previous version.

I'm releasing this as the first stable (mostly) version of the upcoming major release, as this is a demo it will appear as a separate agent called 'Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)' and is meant for people who'd like to help me test the new functionality; I'd advise people don't use this as their primary agent but instead create a new Plex library in order to demo it.

So here's what to consider if you'd like to give it a try:

• The demo's metadata will likely not be supported by the next release
• It's not feature complete (I'll be adding more sources)
• It's unoptimized in places (it'll be slow in places especially during the first refresh, testing will help me fix this)
• Support will be limited (I'll use feedback to fix the agent but I can only offer limited individual library support if you have a unique issue)
• It will be short lived (demo 2's on the horizon)

Installations is simple:

1. Place the content of the zip (plug-ins, plug-in support, scanners, etc) into your Plex Media Server directory
2. Create a new library
3. Set its scanner to "Absolute Series Scanner"
4. Set its agent to "Anime Multi Source Agent (Test)"
5. Access the Amsa Test settings from your server library admin tab

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try, let me know what you think.

v0.1.3 Alpha

This release contains an change to the AniDB token (no longer using hama's token) and updates to the TVDB-AniDB custom mapping file.

v0.1.2 Alpha Hotfix

This release patches the Absolute Series Scanner to ensure it still names any detected openings / endings if it can't find any metadata.

First Alpha Release

This is the first release of the standalone AMSA agent, I'd advise you create a new Plex library rather than use an existing.
