AniDB is file based. Because of this, all group release statuses in AniDB are calculated from the added files! Keep that in mind.
==The Basics==

AniDB is file based. Because of this every release (status) in AniDB is calculated from the added files! Keep that in mind.
{{eyecatch|Note|Do '''NOT''' add files that '''only''' you have: self-(re)encoded or corrupted files should not be added.}}
{{eyecatch|WARNING|Do '''NOT''' add [[Content:Files#What_is_accepted.3F|personal files]].}}

''To add a group's release to AniDB you need [[Ed2k-hash|ed2k-links]] of the files.  There are multiple ways to generate those. One of the simplest, that also provides AniDB with a lot of metadata (hashes, length, bitrate- & codec info etc.), is Avdump.''

* Get [http://static.anidb.net/client/avdump-gui.msi Avdump GUI].  More help/info on Avdump GUI can be found [[Avdump_GUI|here on the Avdump GUI page]].
{{eyecatch|Note|While this step provides details for Avdump, any application that can generate [[Ed2k-hash|ed2k-links]] can be used.}}
* Install it.
{{eyecatch|Note|When using [[Avdump]] make sure you defined an API Key in your {{ProfileLink}}}}
* Start it (click the {{Avdump-current-version}} icon on your desktop).
 
* Set your AniDB username and UDP API key.
* Get [http://static.anidb.net/client/avdump-gui.msi Avdump GUI]
{{eyecatch|Note|To use {{Avdump-current-version}}, you need to create an UDP API Key (choose anything you'd like) in your {{ProfileLink}}, under Profile -> Account -> UDP API Key.}}
* Set your AniDB username and API password in the options menu.
* Activate the checkbox in front of the "export ed2k links to file" option and set a path in the field next to it where the file should be saved
* Save the options.
* Select what you want to scan from the main menu: files or folders.
* Select what you want to scan from the main menu: files or folders.
* Select the stuff you want to scan (... Button) (you can select multiple files at once)
* Click Start.
* Click Start.


===Step 3===
===Step 3===
* Go to the entry of the [[Content:Anime|Anime]] in AniDB you want to add a release for
{{eyecatch|Note|When registering the new file information (audio tracks, subtitles) it's better to set just the minimum. The {{Avdump-current-version}} data will automatically add the extra streams, and fix their tags for language, type, codec (provided that they were correctly set by the encoder). You can always fix this information after the metadata has been processed.}}
* Scroll down to the groups block on the page and click [[Mass add:Files|add new release]]
{{eyecatch|Note|If there are external subtitle files with a release, they should be added in a separate batch to any video files. The same goes for files with different numbers of tracks, such as unsubtitled OP/ED files.}}
* Open the log file from the path you set in Avdump. It should contain various lines of text starting with '''ed2k://'''.
* Go to the entry of the [[Content:Anime|Anime]] in AniDB you want to add a release for.
* Copy and paste those lines into the big text area in the AniDB website in [[Mass add:Files|add new release]]
* Scroll down to the groups block on the page and click the '''[[Mass add:Files|add new release]]''' button.
* Set the group and language options
* Copy the '''ed2k://''' links from the ed2k-export window and paste those lines into the big text area on the [[Mass add:Files|add new release]] page.
* Click ''next''
* Set the group, source, release date, quality, track, and language options. There are some default templates to help you along.
* Set the episodes the files belong to.  AniDB tries to recognize some parameter from the file names, but this is not guaranteed to work 100%
* Click ''Next''.
* Set the episodes the files belong to.  AniDB tries to get the episode relations from the file names, but this is not guaranteed to work correctly in every case.
* Release dates should be entered for files when it is known.  The release date would be the date of the '''FIRST''' instance of the file appearing on the internet (ie do not use a re-release date).
 
===Step 4 (optional)===
In case a file spans multiple episodes you should add the file to the first episode it spans completely. Afterwards you will have to do one more thing:
* Go to the entry of the file where you can see all the file-related details like bitrate, codec etc.
* At the bottom of that page you will find a link called '''add new episode relation'''.
* Choose the other episode this file belongs to and hit add.
Repeat this process for any additional episodes the file spans.
 
===Step 5 (Optional)===
====Animegroup Release Note Comments====
[[File:Animegroup_releasenotes1.PNG|200px|thumb|text-bottom|right|Step 1: click on the Animegroup comment edit button to edit the release notes.]]
[[File:Animegroup_releasenotes2.PNG|200px|thumb|text-bottom|right|Step 2: enter the release notes in the "Note" field.  Provide a link to the source of the information in the "Comment for Mod" field.]]
{{eyecatch|Note|If there are any uncertainties, such as examples not covered below, please consult [http://anidb.net/up560966 CDB-Man] for clarification.}}
The Animegroup release note comments are used to provide information on a group's particular release of a given anime.  The most common information here would be credit/attribution for original sources, such as if the subtitles are from another group's work, or if a specific group's raws were used.
 
====How to Add Animegroup Release Note Comments====
The animegroup release note comments can be edited directly from the anime page.
 
Step 1: click on the Animegroup comment edit button on the right hand side of the anime page to edit the release notes. (see screenshot 1)<br>
Step 2: enter the release notes in the "Note" field.  Provide a link to the source of the information in the "Comment for Mod" field.  A valid source could include a link to a fansub blog, a torrent description, etc.  Provide an explanation to the mod if the note note is not self explanatory. (see screenshot 2)
 
Please see [[Groupentries:Status#Animegroup_Release_Note_Comments|our release note comments main page]] for standardized formatting of release notes.
