AniDB is file based. Because of this, all group release statuses in AniDB are calculated from the added files! Keep that in mind.
Note | Do not add files that only you have: self-(re)encoded or corrupted files should not be added. |
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 files to AniDB you need the ed2k links of the files. There are multiple ways to generate these. One of the simplest, which also provides AniDB with a lot of metadata (hashes, length, bitrate, codec info etc.), is Avdump2.
Note | To use Avdump2, you need to set a UDP API Key in your profile ( on AniDB), under Profile -> Account -> UDP API Key. |
- Get Avdump GUI. More help/info on Avdump GUI can be found here.
- Install it
- Start it (click the avdump2 icon on your desktop)
- Set your AniDB username and UDP API key
- Select what you want to scan from the main menu: files or folders.
- 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.
- Copy the ed2k:// links from the ed2k-export window and paste those lines into the big text area on the add new release page.
- Set the group and language options.
- 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.
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.
