Make sure you're logged in

This feature allows you to

  • (mass)add files to your mylist
  • (mass)identify files for which you only have an ed2k-link
Note: For using this feature you need to generate ed2k-links first.

Adding files to your mylist

Make sure that you're logged in and then select ed2kdump from the menu on the left. Copy the text links into the text box (50 at most at the same time!)

Before pressing ADD you may want to specify watched status, file state, source, storage or a comment, which will get added to all files in the operation.

Note: Any text other than ed2k links will get ignored. So you can copy the source of HTML pages which contain ed2k links in the href attribute of <a> elements, or the like.

Identifying Files

This works analog to adding files with the difference you don't have to set any options. Just copy the text links into the text box (50 at most at the same time!) and click IDENTIFY

Status Report

After you have clicked ADD or IDENTIFY a new page will load, which will show a list of all the files used in the previous operation. Furthermore various other info about the links you used will get displayed:

  • state
  • added - the file was added to your mylist
  • already in list - the file was already in your mylist
  • not in list - the file iss in your mylist
  • file in list - the file is not in your mylist
  • unknown file - the file is unknown to AniDB. Your file is either corrupted or just not added to AniDB. In the later case consider adding it to the DB.
  • valid - the file matches the crc the group provided. meaning it's 100% ok.
  • unknown - the crc of the file might be right, but might also be wrong. The fileentry is missing a confirmation if the crc is valid or not.
  • invalid - the file does NOT match the crc the group provided. This might just be a bitflip (minor error in the file, which is not visible), but might also be majorcorruption, which makes the file unwatchable.
  • ed2k link with an automatically generated AniDB filename
