MyList export

This page's content should be accurate with Anidb's features, unless otherwise specified. However I'm a lazy fuck and someone else will have to make the page look clean. And that someone is YOU. Get to work now. PRESERVE SECTION NAMES as those might be used in links. Reordering them is fine though.

When this article's rewriting is done, this message will be removed.

MyList export is a tool you can use to save your MyList for off-line browsing. In your MyList there is a link to the MyList export page, where you can request to have your MyList exported, check on the status of your latest export, you can see examples of all the different templates that you can use and get your latest finished export.

Note	It takes some time for the export to finish. It depends a lot on the current server load, and if the load is unusually high, it could take as long as a day before it is finished.

You will get a message through the web interface when the export is done.

Templates

There are various templates you can use for your MyList - depending on which you choose, the resulting file(s) will look very different. There are templates with varying functions, design, complexity and information. Depending on what you want from your MyList, you could choose different ones. We also encourage you to create your own template.

plot-time-wasted

Public domain'd in 2009 by Bjørn Hartfelt - hartfelt@mysecondfacetube.dk
Version 1, 2009-12-16

This template will output a file containing the length of every watched file in your mylist, as well as the date you marked the, watched. Included is a small python-script (time-wasted.py) that you can use to transform the output to a format suitable for plotting with gnuplot, and an even smaller shell-script (gnuplot.sh) that, using gnuplot, generates a nice svg-image.

sfv-simple

© 2009 by sadjoker
Version: 0.7 (06.02.2009)

A very simple sfv file creator useful to check the CRC of your files. The format generated is the following:

"Anime name"

"episode number (2 digits)" "CRC"

If there is no CRC defined, the CRC will be replace by "no_CRC".
If the file is flaged as being self-edited, the format change to "episode number (2 digits)" self-edited "CRC". The files with the generic or deleted status are not listed.
Of course, you will have to replace the episode number by the actual names of your files before being able to check them.

txt-udp-mylist

© 2010 by aaabbb1
Version: 0.3 (10/02/2010)

This is a simple text format export template which emulates the output of the UDP API MYLIST command. It's goal is to produce identical results as the actual UDP API interface and it is intended to be used to initialize or update client local caches.

Extra information beyond what MYLIST returns is formatted as comments beginning with # and extending to the end of the line. This information can be used for client parsing and error checking and includes items such as file size and ED2K hash, so the client can identify to which local file a particular MYLIST entry is referring. These comments may be be discarded as desired.

Note

this template is still experimental and should not yet be used by anyone except aaabbb1. It currently returns formatted times which do not match the actual server values (there are no seconds in the formatted times, only minutes, while the server stores unix style epoch times which includes seconds). Ommina is working on adding raw time support into the export system, so that we can get results that will exactly match the server both in format and value.

xml-large

Version 1.0.5 (14/08/2008)

Template created by path (scavenged from xml-xslt and xml-dark)
The idea is to try and extract almost everything thats useful into the xml. Please feel free to edit this and add more data if you need it. However for performance reasons Ive had to move a lot of data into the anime.tpl mxls rather than the main xml. This makes it harder to get the main table to show information if you need it.
I don't know how to solve this dichotomy.

Added a basic table layout. Filtering and sorting capabilities. Next up, expanding nodes.

latest version. added data test

Added group information with some css.

groups are expandable to see their files

filters to see completable shows

bug fix on completable

requested file->ep relationship

xml-nx

© 2008 by Nyxx, Styling based on "XML-Dark" template by epoximator
Version: 0.7.1 (2008-10-18)

The intention of this list is to have a small (by file sizes) list with all basic informations about the anime and their episodes on your list. So you can show this list to everyone and even put it on your website. The list does *not* contain any informations about your files or the subs!

The main focus is using the XSLT rendering capabilities of modern W3C standard compliant browsers. And keeping everything small and simple but still with some useful features.

Tested with Opera 9.5 and Firefox 2/3.
Internet Explorer is not tested but generally should work fine too.

• Coded with XML, XSLT, DHTML, CSS, and JavaScript

• May not displayed correctly on IE because IE partially supports CSS and XML

• Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4
• Allows you to easily change theme's colours by modifying a CSS file
• Allows you to easily change theme's layout by modifying XSLT files
• Data (XML), data formats (XSLT), and styles (CSS) are separate from each other
