A handful of my anime have the error No AniDB ID to convert to MyAnimeList ID for GUID and I'm not sure how to fix the issue. I've cleared my cache, cleaned the bundles, and confirmed that these shows are matched in Plex.

All the anime-related conversion errors with means to address are listed here:

Yeah I'm familiar with this repo and actually confirmed the IDs are right in there. However the error provided is saying that the AniDB ID simply does not exist, which I know to be false. I've attached a screenshot from the json file that shows the IDs for Death Note (one of the anime's that get this error) all exist

Probably something for @steep rune to review; i guess that specific error isn't in there.
steep rune
@dapper galleon you around
dapper galleon
Yes I am
dapper galleon
Yeah, what are you looking for
dapper galleon
Sure, one sec
Ok, maybe I dont remember how to get the Show xml, so Id appreciate a quick walkthrough
This should be it
steep rune
ok i expanded the error message in nightly13 can you run that
dapper galleon
Looks like it is grabbing the wrong AniDB IDs probably
Yeah, the ID for Death Note should be 4563 https://anidb.net/anime/4563, but the one it grabs is 8147 https://anidb.net/anime/8147
steep rune
its because that id is linked also linked to the same tvdb
dapper galleon
That would be the problem then, those two shows arent related
steep rune
and im sure its still lists as a death note special
dapper galleon
Ah, I suppose I don’t totally understand how all of that relates yet. So is there any way to remove the link between the two?
dapper galleon
Gotcha, I suppose that makes sense
steep rune
ill need to think on this
dapper galleon
Gotcha, I appreciate you looking into it!

Yea this happens with quite a few anime. Its because in Japan seasons aren't seasons. They are arcs and movies are considered specials and aren't separate things. This is why you see movies in sonarr under specials. It's kind of annoying when it comes to stuff like this but that's just how anime is
This also happens with ratings. It pulls latest season ratings for the entire show. This is due to a season being consider a new show in Japan and on sites like MAL and anidb they are listed as such and not like tvshows on imdb where all seasons are listed under one show

a fix could be to add season and epoffset to the pmm id list from anime-lists and always use the id from S1 and no episode offset (if the agent is plextv)
like this
"727": {
"tvdb_id": 100151,
"season": 0,
"epoffset": 2,
"imdb_id": "tt0185736",
"mal_id": 2470,
"anilist_id": 2470
},
Hey, just curious if there has been any update to this
steep rune
im actully trying to fully revamp the list pmm uses
its taking some time but it should be better then ever once im done
dapper galleon
Awesome! I really appreciate you working on it and can't wait for the end result!
