Hi, is there a way to filter searches by the languages contained in a file? Many fansubs put ‘multi subs’ but with that you can't put a pattern to search in the title.
I've tried to see the options for using the API but I haven't found any documentation.
Thank you.

I put a little more thought into it and came up with a hope/suggestion.

If possible it would be great if the option between group name and episode number could be user selectable via dropdown, like the "Show: Subtitles" and "Show: Downloads" dropdown toggle.

Just a thought, as I think having both options are equally useful in that spot. I realize I would definitely use both.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Searches cannot contain only exclusion terms - there needs to be at least one inclusion term.

It'd be awkward to try to break title links into all these components. It's a reason I didn't want to touch the title links - once you split the group name, it opens the door to splitting up the link elsewhere.
Some sites just have links to all keywords like a 'tag' system. I figured that people could easily just copy/paste relevant terms into search than add a bunch of links to do the same thing.

Sorry, that was a bit unclear on my part.
The text isn't modified, but the link will need to be broken into two (which may affect its appearance).
The search index is effectively a separate database, and is only periodically updated, which means that the search can miss stuff that is actually present. I'm trying to avoid directing users to search mostly for this reason.

Unfortunately the group filter isn't supported with search. A lot of the time you can just enter the group name as a search keyword, if that helps.

Thanks for your feedback.
I figured that episodes tend to bunch together if sorted by date posted, so a group link might be more useful.

I'll leave it there for now to see what other feedback people give. It's easy to revert should that be necessary.

If the goal is to exclude certain groups in a search, would prepending group names with "-" or "!" while enabling Sphinx expressions not suffice? Although adding buttons and a list of all detected groups would be a significant UI change. Presumably those buttons would just build and add those terms to the search string before processing it. Putting aside the UI overhaul necessary to make that happen, would there also be merit in automatically building queries with other filters such as resolution, codec, and/or source (Web, BD, DVD, etc.)? Those are equally useful features to add should AT endeavor to implement a UI-driven filtering system but they each introduce their own challenges. Back to considering UI, adding all that functionality might be too cumbersome or too complicated for the average user making a simple query.

Regarding detection, a dedicated script won't be necessary if you're willing to ignore edge cases such as detecting titles with the group name at the end or in a different encapsulation. Here is a very simple regex101 example that captures group names in exactly as you described and some examples populated in the test string section. If you do want to support edge cases you could perhaps craft a more sophisticated regular expression or enter the rabbit hole that is BNF grammars and LR parsers (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LR_parser). The latter is quite niche but is very satisfying to develop - assuming you enjoy writing and using regular expressions.

Based on how the Series/Season page is currently parsing group names it seems AT has figured out a more sophisticated parser than we have since they're also able to parse groups such as VARYG (see https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/series/kimi-wa-...sama.18344 for examples).

Have fun,

Not exactly what I suggested but it'll be useful, thank you! 😊🙏🏻

I wasn't asking for titles modifications though 😅

What I was thinking was a script that detects whether the title begins with the tag name within [...] or not. If it does, it'd get the value and add it as a hypertext on the corresponding release page (it'd launch a search on AT by the tag name, no need for a database it'd be a basic search).

If the filename doesn't start with a value within [...]  but instead, directly with a letter, then do nothing (group/tag name won't be indicated).

Example here :
BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War - S17E35 [1080p AMZN]-ToonsHub
==> It wouldn't detect the tag name.

[ToonsHub] BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War - S17E35 [1080p AMZN]
==> It would detect ToonsHub.

I don't know if it's better explained but that's what I had in mind 😅

Thanks for the implementation of the group links on the series page. But I was wondering if you could allow for search queries with gid as well. Something like this, for example, doesn't work: https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/search?q=1080p&...gid=16325.

Or maybe I'm not doing it right lol.

Just noticed the change and it kind of feels like the group tag instead of the episode number is a little troublesome since a lot of the time now it seems like the group tag is there in duplicate.
I think it's really cool that you rolled this out, I'm just putting it out there that I liked having the episode number there. :)

Obviously, if this is something people like I'm good with that too.
Thanks for being open to feedback dude, have a great weekend!

Tried this method, it works for TT.

Thanks.

I added group links to the series page listing: example.
It's not exactly what you asked for, but it's something I guess.

I posted an explanation here.
You can take the Anidex torrent download link and submit it to TokyoTosho, if you want it to be mirrored here.
You could also just upload the torrent to a file host like https://files.catbox.moe/ and submit the download link to TokyoTosho.

Hope that helps.

Changing behavior depending on naming scheme doesn't quite sit nicely with me, and I do want to keep titles as unmodified as possible.
Search can also be a bit weird in how it works; this is probably more on me than of any practical issue.

I do like the idea in some respect, so will give it some thought.
Thanks for the suggestion.
