holo's Issues

Use asyncio

Since you're already requiring Python 3.4 or higher, I suggest using asyncio. It provides a nice generator-based event loop, which makes things cleaner and more flexible as opposed to invoking holo multiple times.

For HTTP connections, there's aiohttp. I don't know of any reddit clients that use asyncio.

Add synopsis to thread structure

• Decide with other mods on how to handle possible spoilers (nothing since post-watch discussion or spoiler flair)
• Add to info update
• Add to post structure (maybe wait for block-based restructuring)

Episode Poll Link With New Episode Posts

Hi,

I was wondering about the possibility of adding a poll link to each episode post to track user ratings and/or appending that link to the growing weekly table for a series. r/movies does something like this for each film (post: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/8a5qdo/official_discussion_a_quiet_place_spoilers/ poll: https://youpoll.me/4701/)

I worked on a sample Python script using Selenium that could dynamically create a poll link for a series and episode (ex: https://youpoll.me/5831/). Another site that looked promising was strawpoll.com.

Is this something the Holo project has considered adding?

Why Holo out of all of things ?

I mean Seriously 🗡 :D
Is this script to do what exactly ? Its not that obvious from the ReadMe ... Does it let you see comments perhaps ? Sorry for the silly question... (Holo is not a tool you know?)

Doesn't support multiple episodes airing as a single episode

Ex. momokuri on Crunchyroll (rss).

The episode number is specified as a range, 1-2.

Add related subreddit support

Best location is probably in the links section. Would require a reddit link service.

Optimize detection of new episodes

Parsing the HTTP headers for the content length is better than downloading the entire feed data.

FUNimation includes Content-Length in the HTTP header for http://www.funimation.com/feeds/ps/videos?ut=FunimationSubscriptionUser&show_id=SHOW_ID. (You can send the HEAD command to get this)

Crunchyroll doesn't include Content-Length for some reason, but they do support partial GET requests (i.e. including Range in the GET request). Then Content-Range will be included in the response header, which includes the total length of the content (after compression I believe). I used the URL of the form http://www.crunchyroll.com/SHOW_NAME.rss for testing.

I haven't tested other URLs or sites, but hopefully they work similarly.

Episodes can only be integers

All major services (FUNimation, Crunchyroll, Daisuki) allow episodes that are non-integers. These episodes are nearly always recaps or specials so the decision can be made to not bother with those episodes. If that's the case non-integers should probably be explicitly ignored otherwise casting to int will cause episode numbers to get improperly converted. This will probably work fine since episode x.y will always be casted to x which very likely already exists but it's something extra to take into account.

FUNimation API no longer updated

The FUNimation API stopped getting updated on March 14th presumably because all old applications were phased out in favor of new ones with the FunimationNow branding. These new applications use a completely different API which is shared among multiple device types (instead of a separate API for every device). Both the FUNimation PlayStation API and mobile API are no longer updated with new episodes (not sure about other ones).

There is a small chance that this happened because of the DST change since the old APIs are still online but no longer reporting new information. I personally doubt it since about a day after the DST change new data was added.

Add Daisuki support

Outline with links to the API is already created:

Related to #8.

Please add daisuki link for hai-furi
