Could you add a different option for favorites

[jryan15]

Having the ability to link to online accounts with lists is pretty cool. Could you add to the menu feature when you select an anime series to add the anime to you list? So instead of just showing "add or remove from favorites", there would be a second option to "add to anilist"? This would allow users to build collections kind of like trakt does for Exodus.

FWIW - I love my trakt account, but I never use it online. My only interaction with trakt is via Kodi. It would be nice if your addon could do the same thing with anilist...

Thanks!

Hi, Thank you very much for this add on. I enjoyed using 9Anime and I noticed it was not performing which is when I found that you have a new add on for WonderfulSubs.

I use another add on for movies and TV shows, which has a nice feature that creates .strm files in the userdata folder, that I can then add it to my Kodi library. Example: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-add-tv-shows-to-kodi-library-with-any-exodus-fork/

I was wondering would you be able to add such an option to the WonderfulSubs add on, so that I can populate the shows that I like to the TV Shows library.

The advantage is that the favorites option is limited, but once in the Kodi Library, through the skin option I can see when a new episode has been added and so on.

Thank you very much!

they already have this feature, use a Kitsu, MAL or Myanimelist account which is free then sign into the WS add-on and your watch list will sync and you get the added benefit you can have all your anime lists in a single place not just for kodi.

I also hoping that this add-on have the feature to add the anime to Kodi library, just so that its not look "messy"...

While such a library integration feature is not yet built in to WonderfulSubs, I think you should be able to do that with the OpenMeta add-on (repository installed from this link).
In this case OpenMeta would handle its own library integration that has WonderfulSubs items.

---

For future reference, when adding this to WonderfulSubs:
The add-on would need to create two folders to hold movie and series metadata files.
These folders should have the path special://userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.wonderfulsubs/MEDIA, with MEDIA standing for either "Movies" or "Shows" (or whatever other folder name you want to use).
These folders would hold a .STRM and a .NFO file pair for each movie/series. It seems these files could be inside a folder for each movie/series.

These folder paths need to be added to the special://profile/sources.xml Kodi file, inside the <video></video> section.
See the OpenMeta source code for more information:

Edit: corrected some info in my comment.

@doko-desuka great info about Open Meta, I had heard about it but never used it as such. Since reading your comment, I have reconfigured Kodi with OpenMeta library sync. Works beautifully and the neat thing is OpenMeta allows you to select the player to play with, so you don't have to go through the add-on or depend on any one add-on.

I have since been searching for a WonderfulSubs player for OpenMeta and haven't been able to find one. I am now thinking of writing the json file myself, but programming is currently beyond my ability. Fingers crossed, hopefully somebody figures one out soon.

Thanks again...

@j-chacko I don't use OpenMeta, so I'm glad you tried it and found it works for what you want.
I wish there were more examples of OpenMeta players, for reference. Anyway, here's a suggestion to get you started (note this is untested):

The documentation for O.M. players is in here of course:
