This does not seem to be the case. Or perhaps this is only limited to Griffith under Windows? The steps I took were as follows:
I Installed Griffith 0.13 for Windows on February 16, 2013, from www.griffith.cc I searched for a title on AniDB with griffith. No results were found. I opened www.anidb.info in my web browser with the intent of manually copy and pasting the information and received a notice saying I was banned and to join the IRC channel to request being unbanned. I have just re-installed Griffith again from the website and the following image shows the banning message as well as the debug log. http://i.imgur.com/kJ3WCgH.png If the plugin was updated it appears that it was never included in the Windows installer. Full debug is below: --- 2013-02-18T14:48:51: DEBUG: Griffith(gconsole:82): Starting Griffith 0.13 2013-02-18T14:48:51: DEBUG: Griffith(gconsole:83): Platform: Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 (nt) 2013-02-18T14:48:51: DEBUG: Griffith(gconsole:84): Dependencies: gtk :: 2.22.0 gtk.glade :: 2.22.0 sqlalchemy :: 0.7.1 sqlite3 :: 2.6.0 (sqlite-lib 3.6.21) reportlab :: 2.5 PIL :: True psycopg2 :: 2.3.1 (dt dec pq3 ext) MySQLdb :: 1.2.3.final.0 chardet :: 2.0.1 sqlite :: False lxml :: True 2013-02-18T14:48:52: DEBUG: Griffith(griffith:1469): config file used: C:\Users\Noam\AppData\Roaming\griffith\griffith.cfg 2013-02-18T14:48:52: INFO: Griffith(initialize:101): Using Griffith directory: C:\Users\Noam\AppData\Roaming\griffith C:\Program Files (x86)\Griffith\lib\initialize.py:140: GtkWarning: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated 2013-02-18T14:48:52: DEBUG: Griffith(sql:279): SELECT movies.number, movies.o_title, movies.title, movies.director, movies.poster_md5, movies.genre, movies.seen, movies.year, movies.runtime, movies.rating, movies.created, movies.updated FROM movies ORDER BY movies.number ASC 2013-02-18T14:48:53: INFO: Griffith(initialize:873): Spellchecker is not available 2013-02-18T14:49:08: DEBUG: Griffith(add:284): reloading PluginMovieAniDB 2013-02-18T14:49:09: INFO: Griffith(PluginMovieAniDB:195): downloading title list from http://anidb.net/api/animetitles.xml.gz --- On Monday, February 18, 2013 2:40:45 PM UTC-6, Mike wrote: > > Since September 2011 the plugin uses the HTTP API: > http://wiki.anidb.net/w/HTTP_API_Definition > That version of the plugin is released with version 0.13 of griffith. > > Am 18.02.2013 17:52, schrieb asterisk20xx: > > AniDB is currently banning Griffith users who try to import data from > > their website.
