A collection of anime scraping addons and tools for different generations of Kodi and XBMC.

This repository serves as a central collection of anime scrapers that work with:

• legacy XBMC (Xbox Original)
• Kodi Python 2 based versions
• Kodi Python 3 based versions

The goal of this project is to preserve compatibility with older systems while also providing modern implementations for current Kodi versions.

Scrapers designed for older Kodi releases that still rely on Python 2.7, including:

• Kodi 16 (Jarvis)
• Kodi 17
• Kodi 18 (partial compatibility)

These addons use legacy APIs such as:

• urllib2
• xbmcplugin
• xbmcgui
• classic resolver implementations

Newer scrapers compatible with modern Kodi versions:

• Kodi 19 (Matrix)
• Kodi 20 (Nexus)
• Kodi 21+

These implementations use:

• urllib.request
• updated Kodi API
• modern resolver structures

This repository also includes special versions adapted for the original Xbox running XBMC.

Due to the extreme limitations of this platform, these versions include adjustments such as:

• compatibility with Python 2.4 / 2.5
• removal of unsupported Kodi API calls
• reduced memory usage
• simplified artwork handling (thumbnail only)
• workarounds for legacy TLS and networking

These builds allow modern anime websites to be accessed on a classic Xbox console running XBMC.

A scraper implementation that extracts:

• anime lists
• seasons
• episode lists
• streaming hoster mirrors

Features include:

• mirror selection dialog
• hoster detection
• support for legacy Kodi/XBMC UI APIs

The scraper parses publicly accessible HTML pages and extracts metadata such as:

• titles
• episode numbers
• descriptions
• available streaming mirrors

This repository also contains a scraper for Fansubs.

The scraper focuses on:

• listing available releases
• parsing episode titles
• accessing release pages
• retrieving metadata from website

The goal of this scraper is to make fansub releases easier to browse within Kodi/XBMC.

This repository aims to:

• preserve compatibility with legacy Kodi/XBMC environments
• provide lightweight scraping implementations
• document techniques for cross-version Kodi addon development
• support retro platforms such as the original Xbox

Installation depends on the platform.

Typical methods include:

1. Download the addon folder
2. Copy it to:

Kodi:  userdata/addons/
XBMC:  plugins/video/

3. Restart Kodi/XBMC
