You can use a keyboard with mediaportal quite easily. In fact, most remotes simply emulate the keyboard. I also only use a keyboard for the computer I develop myanime on. The keyboard controls are quite intuitive, and use keyboard commands used in most media players.

Second, it uses AniDB for show info, as opposed to thetvdb.com, which provides more relevant information. However, it will download fanart from thetvdb, so your front-end will look cool.

Basically when I wrote MY program for cataloging anime I didn't use AniDB because I didn't like the way it tag few things - so i never used hashes for recognizing. I used simple method not even regex. One by one char is taking from string, if same string is in name of folder and name of file then it's "good" name, if name of folder don't have anything similar to name of file, the name of file is more important, my algorithm search for crc, and remove it from string, remove all things in ( ) and [ ]. Then you should have "clear" name of anime + numer of ep or "ep" and numer. Few "if" here and there to determine if the "number" is name of anime or number of episode (there are few animes that start with number in name). Cuting of "ep" with number - passing it into search field via class for http, waiting for results and if there is 1 name results that names is used, and if theres few message pop up with list which one you want to use. My app have auto pick option, that is accuracy about 95% the other 5% are bade names of files/folders. I spend few weeks making those algoritms, didn't have a clue that you can search via Hashed, but I learn that aniDB lack with numbers of hashes my collection has.
To prevent confusions, I'm talking about my PRIVATE project, not related with jbsoum work.

Someone should make one that uses thetvdb. It does not have newer animes like anidb. but the fanart and posters are way better.

To prevent further confusion, this is not my project. bobe1, as well as a few other developers, are the ones working on it. I just like it :P
Personally, I consider AniDB as the most accurate source of information for anime, but to each their own.
Also, your regex method is very creative, you should share your project with others.

MyAnime does indeed use thetvdb for fanart and posters, and uses the anidb for show and episode info. There is an import setting that tells MyAnime to download that stuff, but I don't think it's checked by default.
I do wish that MyAnime would use the season info from thetvdb for the season info for larger shows, but I've been told that would make things very tricky. Small price to pay, imo.

It is very tricky anime is a hard thing to make for a scanner. as anime uses absolute numbering so no way to pick out a season/ep out of the file name. You could always rename your anime to the S??E?? and it should pick up the seasion/ep number. I dont use mediaportal nor can I as i run popcorn hours as my media streamers. They use flash/static html pages to display information. Does mediaportal/OMM have any sort of export to nfo or xml?
