WebAOM

WebAOM is a simple Java applet/application that hash files and add them to your MyList at AniDB. It is made for those who don't want to or cannot install AniDB O'Matic. The name may be inaccurate/misleading since it does not replace AOM in any way. It is based on the UDP API and is therefore limited.

All questions, feature requests and bug reports can be post in the [AniDB Forum > Other Clients] forum.

HOWTO Step by step

Register an AniDB account

WebAOM is of no use without an AniDB account. Sign up.

Make sure you've got a jre that supports swing

http://www.java.com

Start WebAOM as applet or application

It might be more easy and convenient to start it as an applet, but I personally prefer the application. Use the jnlp link if you want to be sure to have the latest version of the application. You might want to try Ame if you have trouble with Java or don't want to install it. It covers the basic features of WebAOM, but is only for MS Windows and more buggy.

Configure automatic renaming/moving (optional)

• Write the rules you want at Rules/Renaming/Moving or uncomment the default rule. Be sure to click Apply! when done.
• You most likely want to save your options after this. In that case click Save Opt.
• How to write rules.

Select the files you want to process

• By clicking Files...
• By clicking Folders...
• By writing the path to a directory in the Options/Other/Hash Dirs field.
• By dragging and dropping files into the Job tab.

You will see the files you selected in the Job tab.

Log on to the AniDB UDP API service

By clicking Login and providing your username and password. Encryption is optional and not really recommended. You'll need to set the API password in your profile options if you still want to use it.

Click "Start" and go watch some anime

Click Start and WebAOM will for each file:

• Hash it.
• Use the hash sum to fetch meta data from AniDB.
• Add it to your MyList.
• Use the meta data to move and rename it.

Move/rename system

A new feature from 1.09 is moving and renaming of files based on rules. This is implemented to ease administration of your anime collection. The system may seem confusing at first, but it is actually pretty simple. Since the system performs virtually no error checking on the input you provide, it is recommended that you understand the system fully before using it.

Notice that the system is under development. Feel free to request changes / comment.

Scripting

For renaming and moving files WebAOM needs schemas. A schema is just a string with tags, where each tag corresponds to file/anime data. Ex: "%ann - %enr [%crc]". (See WebAOM#Tags) The point with the rule system is that you can customize these schemas so different types of files can be renamed different ways, and moved to different locations. To build the schemas you have to write two simple scripts; one for renaming and one for moving. Example on rename schema:

IF A(Naruto) DO FAIL //Do not rename file if it is Naruto
DO ADD '%eng (%ann) - %enr - %epn ' //Add the base, same for all files
IF D(japanese);S(english) DO ADD '(SUB)' //Add (SUB) if the file is subbed in english
IF D(japanese);S(none) DO ADD '(RAW)' //Add (RAW) if the file is not subbed.
IF G(!unknown) DO ADD '[%grp]' //Add group name if it is not unknown
DO ADD '(%CRC)' //Always add crc
#this would create the schema "%eng (%ann) - %enr - %epn (SUB)[%grp](%CRC)" for a normal subbed file.

' around parts is not required. Example on move schema:

IF R(DVD,HKDVD) DO ADD 'M:\dvd\'
ELSE DO ADD 'N:\tv\'
IF Y(0-1999) DO ADD '199X\%year - %ann [%eps]'
ELSE DO ADD '%yea\%ann [%eps]'
IF G(!unknown) DO ADD '[%grp]\'
ELSE DO ADD '\'

Syntax for each line in a script:

[[ELSE] IF {test}/ELSE] DO ADD {part}/SET {part}/FAIL/FINISH [{last part}]/RETURN {complete schema}

Element	Meaning
ADD	+=
SET	= (assign)
FAIL	return null
FINISH	return result (possible to add last part, not needed as last line)
RETURN	return complete schema (for exceptions)
,	or
;	and
!	not

Possible tests:

G	name/id	Group id, name, short name or 'unknown'
E	text	Episode number

Local database

From 1.14 external databases is supported.

How to:

• Download and install postgresql or mysql. Be sure to select unicode support.
• Download the JDBC Driver for postgresql or mysql and extract the .jar file to '{java path}/jre{version}/lib/ext'.
• Create the database:

postgre:

• • psql template1 {usr}
  • create database {webaom}; \q

mysql:

• • mysql -u{usr} -p{psw}
  • create database {webaom}; exit;
• Start WebAOM and write the jdbc URL into the 'My Database' field: "jdbc:{mysql|postgre}://{host}[:port]/{webaom}[?user={usr}][&password={psw}]
  • {host} is the url or ip to the host. (localhost/127.0.0.1)
  • {webaom} is the name of the database. Can be what ever you like.
  • {usr} is the username. Optional. 'root' is assumed.
  • {psw} is the password. Optional. No password is assumed.
• Press enter (in text field).
  • This must be done every time you start WebAOM. Should be done before adding any files.
  • All jobs in DB that are not finished will be loaded at this point.
  • If you want to load info on finished files you must use the Add file/folder buttons. (It's also possible to load all the jobs by adding ! in front of the jdbc URL.)
