AniDB is file based. Because of this every release (status) in AniDB is calculated from the added files! Keep that in mind.
Step 1
- Verify that the group you want to add a release for has already been added (see Groups).
- If not, add the group details before continuing.
Step 2
To add a group's release to AniDB you need 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.
| Note | When using Avdump make sure you defined an API Key in your profile ( on AniDB) profile -> account -> set api key
|
- Get Avdump GUI.
- 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 the stuff you want to scan (... Button) (you can select multiple files at once).
- Click Start.
Step 3
- Go to the entry of the Anime in AniDB you want to add a release for
- Scroll down to the groups block on the page and click add new release.
- Open the log file from the path you set in Avdump. It should contain various lines of text starting with ed2k://.
- Copy and paste those lines into the big text area in the AniDB website in add new release.
- Set the group and language options.
- Click next.
- 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%.
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. (you might have to repeat this process depending on how many episodes it spans).
