mpv-open-anilist-page

Script for mpv that opens the Anilist page for the currently playing (anime) file.

It does this by extracting/guessing the relevant metadata from the file name (using guessit), searching for it on Anilist, and then opening the page in a new tab on your default browser.

Requirements

You will need Python 3 installed and in your system path, as well as the following libraries: guessit, requests:

pip install guessit requests

Install

Copy or symlink the .lua and .py files to your mpv scripts folder (if you're unfamiliar with its location, check the mpv documentation).

Usage

By default, the script binds itself to Ctrl+A.
To change default binding simply add following line into your input.conf file inside your mpv config directory.

A script-binding launch_anilist       # for mpv-open-anilist-page

You can also change the binding by editing the last line in the .lua script file.

-- change key binding as desired 
mp.add_key_binding('ctrl+a', 'launch_anilist', launch_anilist)

Credits

mpv-open-anilist-page is heavily based on mpv-open-imdb-page by ctlaltdefeat. Thanks to mpv-open-kinopoisk-page by WANDEX as well for a great README.md file!

Of course, this would not be possible without guessit and Anilist GraphQL.
