Fucking weeb

============



A library manager for animu (and TV shows, and whatever).



## Why



I have my series split over different hard drives,

in nested directories with names like

"[Underwater] Something Something [Batch]".

That makes it hard to browse.



I then also have to remember what's the last episode I watched.

And if I'm watching that series with different

audio/subtitle settings than the default, change those.



Wouldn't it be cool if I could save all this information

in an easy to navigate library thingy? That's what this is.

Now go watch [the video].



## Extra Features



* Show posters

* Automatically find posters in [TMDb]

* Drag and drop posters from your browser and your file manager

* Did I say it displays posters?

* Set a video player command, which can be overriden

  per show

* It tries to get the show name from the directory name

* It follows the XDG standards with regard to config files and such



## Installing



Oh yeah before you ask, I've only run this on linux.

Have fun on other OSes.



### Arch



If you run arch, you are in luck, because so do I.

[Have a PKGBUILD!](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/weeb-git/)

(not it's also in the arch/ directory in this same repo, so you can

just get that).



### Other *nix



Fucking weeb is written in [CHICKEN scheme], and uses

Gtk+ 3 as well as a bunch of dependencies (eggs).



The building dependencies are:



* gtk3

* chicken



Plus the following chicken eggs:



* bind

* http-client

* uri-common

* openssl

* medea



#### Quick instructions



Install gtk3 and chicken from your distro's repositories, then run:



    $ make deps-and-all

    $ sudo make install



Fucking Weeb will be installed in /opt/weeb with a symlink in /usr/bin.

You can uninstall chicken too, if you want.



The first time you run it, it will complain about having no database

file and create one for you (in your $XDG_HOME).



#### Long instructions



You can either bundle everything into one package

(like we did in the quick instructions),

so that the only dependency is gtk3, or make a normal development build, which

will link to the files inside your $CHICKEN_REPOSITORY.



If you are going to be doing more than one build, the deps-and-all target

is very inefficient (since it downloads the dependencies to a temporary directory

every time).



Read the makefile to see how it works.



I keep my chicken eggs in _~/.local/lib/chicken/8_.

Read [this][chicken-install] for the original instructions.



_bind_ tries to install a binary in /usr/bin even with the $CHICKEN_REPOSITORY

env var, and that's why need to use -p unless we want to run chicken-install as root.



You could also install everything as root in /usr/ (that's the default if you don't

set a $CHICKEN_REPOSITORY).



Anyway, once you have the dependencies installed with chicken-install, and

in either CHICKEN_REPOSITORY or the global path, you can run either

_make_ or _make deployable_ and either will work.

The former will give you a _weeb_ binary in the current directory which

you can move around but links to your installed eggs, while the

second will create a _weeb_ directory with a package you can

move around to any system that has a compatible libc and gtk3 installed.



## TO-DOs/known bugs



* The logo. Why didn't we start with the logo?

* I've had it crash at random times (something something C_temporary_stack_bottom)

* The code is not pretty. Don't judge me as a programmer for it

  (it was my first scheme project after all)

* Need a better poster-not-found image
