Advanced tools
Readme
Shirase is a library that enables developers to get information of anime currently being played in media players.
You can get shirase over npm
npm install shirase
Using shirase is really easy!
const Shirase = require("shirase");
const shi = new Shirase();
shi
.getInformation()
.then(information => console.log(information))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
information
(or however you name the Promise return value) is an object containing various fields of information coming from anitomy.
There are a lot of programs using a multitude of batch/shell/PowerShell scripts to get currently running anime, I wondered about there being a way to grab all of that information just inside NodeJS.
Shirase will query for all running processes, then check for a whitelist of media player process names (found in Shirase.MEDIA_PLAYER_PROCESSES()
) and filter these out.
Out of the narrowed list of processes, Shirase will use the PID to query the system for window information of that specific process.
This information includes the title, which we will prepare beforehand, consisting of removing eventual title suffixes (e.g. VLCs - VLC media player
) and trimming it down.
Once that is done, the title will be passed to anitomy, which parses the title into an object with various different fields from information given. After all players have been checked through, an array with all found information sets will be returned in the Promise.
If you run shirase
locally, in a development setup and find that there's a player that hasn't been added to the internal list of supported ones yet, feel free to open an issue or a pull request!
