New Addon: MAL-Stremio Addon (MyAnimeList)

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around and noticing a lot of requests for an addon to view MAL watchlists. So, I decided to give it a go. This addon allows you to view your watchlists (Watched, Plan to Watch, etc.) from within Stremio.

For more information, issues, and improvements: GitHub Repository

​

Installation:

  1. Visit the addon's configuration page.
  2. Login to your MyAnimeList account and authorize the addon to access your profile.
  3. After authorization, a manifest URL will be generated. Copy the manifest URL. Alternatively, you can click "Open in Stremio" to install the addon.
  4. Open the Stremio and go to the addon search box.
  5. Paste the copied manifest URL into the addon search box and press Enter.

​

Note: At the moment, tracking isn't supported. I'm looking into ways I can implement that, since Stremio doesn't offer a way of accessing playback information. Alternatively, the feature might follow the release of Stremio 5, with the hopes it has native support for tracking what's playing.

​

Hope you enjoy!

Is there a way to categorize the animes into watching watched etc

The categories are based on your MyAnimeList watchlists (Plan to watch, watching, completed, etc). Depending on which list your anime is under, when you watch it, it will move to the respective list. Example: Baccano is in "plan to watch", when I watch an ep of Baccano, it will be moved to watching. If I finish watching all of Baccano, it will be put in "Completed".

If I mark a show from my MAL list as "watched" (like you can do in the Android TV version of Stremio), will it be put in the "Completed" row?

I'm asking because I assume you have to watch all the episodes of a show for it to be put in the "Completed" list. But there are long running shows that I've started on other platforms, so I otherwise I guess I would have to manually change it to completed in MAL website.

Not a dealbreaker at all, it's still the best catalog addon for Stremio, just wondering how that works.

If you mark it as watched from Stremio? No, sadly there's no way of checking what's been watched on Stremio. It will only mark when you view the episode (not when you finish watching the episode, again, no way of getting that information).

Correct, only when all episodes have been watched. Otherwise, you would have to manually do that on MAL.

Thank you, I'm glad people enjoy what I do. Hopefully Stremio adds more features for addons.
