Is there a way to show voice actors of only a particular language?

Open DeeeFoo opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it was designed this way intentionally, but just thought I'd mention it anyway.

Whenever I go to the "Characters" tab on the Android app to view the characters' voice actors, it will show a mixture of Japanese and English voice actors. For example, one character will have their English voice actor listed, while another will have their Japanese voice actor listed. This only happens to shows that have been dubbed in both languages, obviously.

Is there way for it to show just the voice actors of a particular language? i.e. Show only the Japanese voices, or show only the English voices, etc. I'm on version 1.4.6.0 of the android app.

Here's a screenshot that illustrates what I mean: screenshot_2018-08-01-15-20-10

Hello,

the data is grabbed as is from the website and since I assumed one VA per character it takes the first one listed on the webpage image

Do you think taking always Japanese (if present) one would be better? I don't really plan on changing the UI here unfortunately.

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

Ahh I see, so it's because the MAL website lists them that way (which is still odd, but whatever).

Yes, I do think that for most general use cases, it would be better to display only the Japanese voice actors, since all anime will have a Japanese voice cast at the very least (with exceptions). Would this be possible?

Best regards

Definitely possible and quite easy to do you in fact.

Awesome. Thanks!

Hello,

Any updates on this? The app is still experiencing this same thing.

I think I rage-quited while parsing this HTML a while ago.

Oh okay I see. That's fine, it was only a minor issue anyway, I can totally live with it.

Great job on the app though, it's very handy.

I'll give it a shot one day. I'm now fixing more important things that appeared while I was abroad on holidays ^^
