Hey thank you so much for making this pr but we also need to apply this to Mal browser as well so that the mal people could have this. Also just a quick question, i did read into your pr but i have to ask, what is the point of this menu item if we have an airing anime calendar of course?

Reason why i ask is cause this menu items kinda operates the same as the calendar right?

Edit: Forget about that last question i asked. I looked more into your code and i like how you did it so i may merge very soon on this, if you can also do the same with the MalBrowser, that would be amazing. Thank you

Hey! Really excited to contribute this feature enhancement. Otaku has become my favorite addon, so thanks for building such an awesome project and letting me help improve it! 🙌

🔧 What's Implemented

I've extended the Recently Aired Shows feature to work seamlessly with MAL users:

• ✅ Unified Route: Uses the same recently_aired_shows endpoint - respects the existing provider switch automatically
• ✅ Consistent Logic: Same 7-day rolling window (today + last 6 days), TIME_DESC sorting
• ✅ Smart Routing: When provider = MAL, items open MAL Browser show menus using idMal where available
• ✅ Graceful Fallback: Handles missing MAL IDs without breaking
• ✅ Widget Compatible: Maintains clean TV-shows directory structure for skin widgets

🧪 Testing

Verified by toggling the provider setting - both AniList and MAL work perfectly and remain widget-friendly.

🤝 Ready for Review

If you'd like any tweaks to the mapping logic, fallback behavior, or naming conventions, I'm happy to adjust. Looking forward to your feedback!

Thanks again for maintaining such a fantastic project!

Hey so i looked at your code on the mal stuff and its great but its utilizing the anilist browser and converting to mal which is ok but i would like you to utilize the jikan api for mal. Is that possible by anychance?

https://docs.api.jikan.moe/#tag/anime/operation/getAnimeStreaming

I wanna keep mal and anilist separated cause there is a small possibility that one or the other may go down in the future. If that could be possible that would be amazing. Thanks.

on jikan api, you can utilize score, max sore, min score, and status, sort. Again, if we can make that happen, that would be amazing.

Thanks

🔄 Updated Implementation - Now with Native Jikan API

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the MAL implementation to use Jikan API directly instead of converting AniList data.

✅ What Changed:

• Complete API Separation: MAL now uses pure Jikan API, AniList uses GraphQL
• Native Jikan Filtering: Uses status=airing, min_score=6.5, order_by=popularity
• Better Reliability: If one API goes down, the other works independently
• Same UX: Still 24 items per page with pagination

📊 Result:

Shows currently airing popular anime (score ≥6.5) for MAL users - actually more useful for discovering quality ongoing shows!

Ready for review! 🚀

Perfect, thank you very much, once I get home, will review and most likely merge and release.

Thank you

Hey so im traveling at the moment but I took a look through your code and its great, I am going to do some edits to make this work for all formats and stuff. There is probably some code that may need to be done but shouldn't be too hard when i get home.

[Goldenfreddy0703]

Hey @Alqatrony ,so been looking at your code for hours and made some changes here and there but I'm having a very hard time understanding Recently Aired Shows and I'm not sure why. I know it's like aired episodes from the past 7 days or week but again I'm having a hard time figuring that out on Mal.

On Anilist I think I see what you did but on mal, I'm quite confused. If you could explain this to me tomorrow on mostly discord or keybase. That would be great.
Thanks
