===Alternative way of usage===
===Windows Shortcut===
*Extract to a folder of choice
#Extract Avdump to a folder of choice.
*Right-click avdump.exe, select "Create Shortcut"
#:Example: <tt>"C:\Program Files\avdump\"</tt>
*Right-click the shortcut, add " -p" to the "Shortcut - Target" line
#Right-click <tt>avdump.exe</tt>, select ''Create Shortcut''.
::Example: <tt>"C:\program files\Codecs\avdump\avdump.exe" -p</tt>
#Right-click the shortcut, add options to the ''Shortcut - Target'' line.
::Optional: Change "Run" to "Maximized"
#:Example, normal usage: <tt>"C:\Program Files\avdump\avdump.exe" -p</tt>
:: you can also set other options like <i>s</i>, ''x'' or ''t'' if you wish to do so.
#:Example, auto-creq usage: <tt>"C:\Program Files\avdump\avdump.exe" -o -ac:''myName'':''udp_api_key''</tt>
*Move shortcut to C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\SendTo
#::You can also set other options like ''s'', ''x'' or ''t'' if you wish to do so.
::[Username] is your WinXP LogIn-Name
#::A commandline option to export ED2K links to a file is by adding -exp: <tt>''C:\Path\filename.txt''</tt>, etc.
::''SendTo'' is a hidden folder
#::Note that you need to set an '''UDP API Key''' in your AniDB profile for auto-creqing.
*Right-click any media-file, goto "Send To", choose avdump (or whatever you called the shortcut)
#:Optional: Change ''Run'' to ''Maximized''.
*Be happy :D
#Drag and drop any media-file onto the shortcut.
*Get [[Creq|CReqing]]

===Graphical interface===
====Send to====
Check out [[gvdump]] if you want
#Move shortcut to the SendTo folder.
to use Avdump with an easy to use GUI.
#:Example, under XP: <tt>"C:\Documents and Settings\''Username''\SendTo"</tt>
#:Example, under Vista: <tt>"C:\Users\''Username''\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo"</tt>
#::Where ''Username'' is your Windows Login-Name.
#:Note that ''SendTo'' is a hidden folder.
#Right-click any media-file, go to "Send To", choose <tt>avdump.exe</tt>
#Get [[Creq|CReqing]]


== Autocreqing ==
===MS-DOS Batch File===
[[Image:Autocreq.gif|thumb|simple diagramm of the way avdump works]]
#Extract Avdump to a folder of choice.
#Create a MS-DOS batch file with the 2 lines below, and save it as ''filename.bat''.
#<tt>@ECHO OFF</tt>
#<tt>C:\AVDumpPath\avdump.exe %1 -exp:''C:\Path\filename.txt'' -ac:''myName'':''udp_api_key''</tt>
#Drag and drop any media-file onto the shortcut.


Avdump is now part of a new autocreqing system. Some more or less important notes:
{{eyecatch|Note|'''The ''udp_api_key'' is not your user password!!! see [[Avdump#Auto-creqing|Auto-creqing]] .}}
* To be able to use this feature you’ll need an AniDB account and you have to define the ''api password'' in your [[profile]]. All data sent to the server will be logged with ip and uid.
 
* Communication between client and server is ''one-way'' (except session init/refresh); the client does not receive any confirmation for sent data. This means that there is no guaranty that all the dumps you send will arrive at the server and stored in the database, and there is no way to check this.
===Graphical user interface===
* Sessions are based on ''ip+port''; check your firewall and router settings to make sure the port is not changed (NAT/whatever). Use <tt>-port:nnnn</tt> to override the default port avdump use.
* ''See:'' '''[[Avdump GUI]]'''
* It is possible to run more than one instance of avdump at once, but not more than three will work ok. At the moment ''only 10 sessions per ip are allowed by the server'', meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first. Also, if you suffer under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation NAT], running more than one instance will make it worse.
 
* There is no direct connection between data sent to AniDB and creqs generated. The data received will just be stored for later processing. There is no way to check the current status for a dump. Usually, it should take ''at least 48 hours'' from the moment you dump a file till the data actually changes. If any irregularities occur, or when there is too much data pending, it will take more time.
===Processing DVD's===
For processing DVD's it's best to set a small blocksize. Helps to improve performance.

== Auto-creqing ==

Avdump is now part of a new [[auto-creqing]] system. Some more or less important notes:
* To be able to use this feature you’ll need an AniDB account '''and you have to define the ''UDP API Key'' in your [[profile]]'''. All data sent to the server will be logged with IP and uid.
* Communication between client and server is ''one-way'' (except session init/refresh); the client does not receive any confirmation for sent data. This means that there is no guaranty that all the dumps you send will arrive at the server and stored in the database, and there is no way to check this. ''From version 0.31 it's possible to make Avdump wait for confirmation from the server by using the -o switch.''
* It is possible to run more than one instance of Avdump at once, but not more than ten will work OK. At the moment ''only 10 sessions per ip are allowed by the server'', meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first.
* There is no direct connection between data sent to AniDB and creqs generated. The data received will just be stored for later processing. There is no way to check the current status for a dump. Usually, it should take ''at least 24 hours'' from the moment you dump a file till the data actually changes.

* You may dump files currently not in the db. The data is still stored and will be used later if/after the file is added. It might also be used for ''machine assisted file adding'' at some point.
* You may dump files currently not in the database. The data is still stored and will be used later if/after the file has been registered.

** Corruption means that the parser fails and the extracted data can not be trusted.


===Processing DVD's===
===Why didn't this file get dumped?===
For processing DVD's it's best to set a small blocksize. Helps to improve performance.
* It's not avi/mkv/ogm/mp4/mov/mpg/rm.
* The file in AniDB is registered with wrong size and/or ED2K hash.
* The package never reached the server.
* The decryption or decompression failed at server side (rare).
* The dump is not valid XML (rare).
 
===Why isn't this file verified?===
Even if the file is dumped it doesn't mean it will get auto-creqed (and verified). Here are the reasons:
* The file is corrupt/invalid ([http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=avmf&do=xml&avid=76226 example]).
* The provided data is considered "incoherent". (Indicates a bug in Avdump.)
* The dump was marked unfit for file verification by an AniDB Moderator.
* The file type is not included in auto-creqing yet (mov/mpg/rm ATM).
 
===What's the current status?===

Latest revision as of 01:05, 1 January 2022

Note!



Avdump (version one) has been wholly superseded by Avdump3. As of 2022-01-01 Avdump has been disabled for auto-creqing. Please update to Avdump3.






What is it

Avdump is a video codec identification utility - identifies which video codec and audio compression method is used on video files. Furthermore it calculates the used bit rates, the length, identifies the number of used audio channels and more.
It is mainly based on mediainfo, but got enhanced and changed to fit AniDB's needs by epoximator.
Avdump was created with the intention to provide AniDB with a tool to standardize the input for files and be a part of the upcoming AOM 0.6. It does however already support auto-creqing by itself. See Avdump/Auto-creqing.

Supported formats

  • avi, mkv, ogm, mp4, asf/wmv, mpg, rm, mov

Known issues

Note Avdump is under development. Don't take the validity of its output for granted. Please report errors/issues.
  • Currently Avdump only supports lower-case letters in user name, if your AniDB user name has capital letters, lower case them only for Avdump usage (as in, it's not needed to change your AniDB user name). If your AniDB user name contains symbols such as an underscore _, then you will actually need to remove that from your AniDB user name for Avdump usage.
  • Audio channel detection is very simple:
    • Number of channels might be wrong. (5.1 vs 6.1, 6.1 vs 7.1)
    • No check of actual data in channels. (dummy channels)
  • No detection of fps for asf/wmv files.
  • No detection of video anamorphism in mp4.
  • Only full parsing of avi, mkv and ogm container formats.
  • Avdump is only for Windows at the moment. It works via Wine though.
  • More...

Download

Latest version (18th March 2008) is 0.34. Get your copy of Avdump HERE!

md5sum rar=225f2058812f601876fd5960bed95b74, exe=ee85a21848db15dc8bee3dd4180be953

Usage

Avdump is a simple command line client:

avdump [-<options> ...] <media file/folder> [<media file/folder> ...]

Options

Switch Info Example
ext:<comma separated list> Only process files with the specified extensions. ext:mkv,avi
log:<file path/name> Mirror the output to the specified file. log:avdump.log
exp:<file path/name> Export ed2k-links to the specified file. Very useful when mass adding files. exp:ed2k-links.txt
ac:<username>:<udp_api_key> Enable automatic creqing. You should always use this option when dumping anime files! -ac:tard:monkey
port:<port number> Use the specified UDP port for communication with the AniDB server (api.anidb.net). Only needed when behind "strict" firewalls. port:1337
done:<file path/name> Save processed-file-paths to the specified file and exlude existing entries. done:done.txt
tout:<timeout_in_seconds>:<number_of_retries> Set timeout options. tout:15:6
bsize:<KB_per_block>:<number_of_blocks> Set size per block (2048 is default) and number of blocks in the circular buffer for hashing. If number of blocks is less than 2 then a plain single-threaded hasher is used. Might be useful if you got trouble with the default hasher. bsize:512:16


Note The udp_api_key is not your user password!!! see Auto-creqing .

Windows Shortcut

  1. Extract Avdump to a folder of choice.
    Example: "C:\Program Files\avdump\"
  2. Right-click avdump.exe, select Create Shortcut.
  3. Right-click the shortcut, add options to the Shortcut - Target line.
    Example, normal usage: "C:\Program Files\avdump\avdump.exe" -p
    Example, auto-creq usage: "C:\Program Files\avdump\avdump.exe" -o -ac:myName:udp_api_key
    You can also set other options like s, x or t if you wish to do so.
    A commandline option to export ED2K links to a file is by adding -exp: C:\Path\filename.txt, etc.
    Note that you need to set an UDP API Key in your AniDB profile for auto-creqing.
    Optional: Change Run to Maximized.
  4. Drag and drop any media-file onto the shortcut.
Note The udp_api_key is not your user password!!! see Auto-creqing .

Graphical user interface

Processing DVD's

For processing DVD's it's best to set a small blocksize. Helps to improve performance.

Something like -bsize:256:1 (default is 2048)

Auto-creqing

Simple diagram of the way auto-creqing with Avdump works

Avdump is now part of a new auto-creqing system. Some more or less important notes:

  • To be able to use this feature you’ll need an AniDB account and you have to define the UDP API Key in your profile. All data sent to the server will be logged with IP and uid.
  • Communication between client and server is one-way (except session init/refresh); the client does not receive any confirmation for sent data. This means that there is no guaranty that all the dumps you send will arrive at the server and stored in the database, and there is no way to check this. From version 0.31 it's possible to make Avdump wait for confirmation from the server by using the -o switch.
  • It is possible to run more than one instance of Avdump at once, but not more than ten will work OK. At the moment only 10 sessions per ip are allowed by the server, meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first.
  • There is no direct connection between data sent to AniDB and creqs generated. The data received will just be stored for later processing. There is no way to check the current status for a dump. Usually, it should take at least 24 hours from the moment you dump a file till the data actually changes. If any irregularities occur, or when there is too much data pending, it will take more time.
  • The creqs generated will report the user who sent the data first (for a specific file) as the creqer.
  • You may dump files currently not in the database. The data is still stored and will be used later if/after the file has been registered.
  • Files creqed by the new system will be locked, meaning some fields will not be possible to change. Notify a moderator if you are sure that some of the data locked for a specific file is wrong.
  • Not all dumps are sent to the server; Only mkv, ogm, avi, mp4, mov, rm and mpeg dumps from non corrupted files are sent:
    • The asf parser does not detect fps.
    • Audio files are too few and not considered important ATM.
    • Nothing useful can be extracted from archives and subtitles (that I can think of).

Why didn't this file get dumped?

  • It's not avi/mkv/ogm/mp4/mov/mpg/rm.
  • The file in AniDB is registered with wrong size and/or ED2K hash.
  • The package never reached the server.
  • The decryption or decompression failed at server side (rare).
  • The dump is not valid XML (rare).

Why isn't this file verified?

Even if the file is dumped it doesn't mean it will get auto-creqed (and verified). Here are the reasons:

  • The file is corrupt/invalid (example).
  • The provided data is considered "incoherent". (Indicates a bug in Avdump.)
  • The dump was marked unfit for file verification by an AniDB Moderator.
  • The file type is not included in auto-creqing yet (mov/mpg/rm ATM).

What's the current status?

Look here.

Development

The source can be found here. Avdump has only been built on MS Windows systems.
