Avdump3
AVDump is a tool to extract meta information from media files while at the same time calculating multiple hashes. Based on that information reports can be generated in multiple forms. Of particular interest is the ability to send those reports back to AniDB and thereby quickly filling in missing metadata for new files.
Quickstart
Since you’re here you probably just want to send AVMF Packages (or Dumps) to AniDB which will add metadata to previously (or soon to be) added files. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, you probably want to start with https://wiki.anidb.net/Content:Files and https://wiki.anidb.net/Auto-creqing and https://wiki.anidb.net/Tutorial:How_to_Add_Files_for_Dummies
Anyway lets keep this short:
- Login into AniDB with your account and visit https://anidb.net/user/setting, there goto the Account tab and set a password for “UDP API Key”
- Make sure Net Core 3.1 or higher is installed
- Download the latest Version of AVD3 with the link in the section below and extract it somewhere.
- Start a terminal and navigate to AVDump3
- Use the following arguments as the bare minimum
- Windows:
AVDump3CL.exe --Auth=<YourUserName>:<YourUdpApiPassword> <APathToTheFiles>
- Linux:
dotnet AVDump3CL.dll --Auth=<YourUserName>:<YourUdpApiPassword> <APathToTheFiles>
- Windows:
- Optional: See sections below to improve usage experience

What’s new compared to AVD2?
AVD3 is a complete rewrite of AVD2 which uses .NET Core instead of .NET Framework and treats Linux as a first class citizen. So it should run on Linux just as well as on Windows. To name a few other big differences:
- Can process multiple files in parallel
- Uses native code to speed up hashing significantly
- More efficient reading
- Can move/rename files based on scripts
- More hash algorithms
- Latest version of MediaInfoLib (MIL) is being used (currently 20.03)
- Support for 32bit has been dropped
- Support for MacOS is not yet available (To add support https://github.com/DvdKhl/AVDump3/blob/master/AVDump3NativeLib/src/AVD3MirrorBuffer.c needs to be implemented, help would be appreciated)
