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 sent 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:
1. 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”
2. Make sure Net Core 3.1 or higher is installed
3. Download the latest Version of AVD3 with the link in the section below and extract it somewhere.
4. Start a terminal and navigate to AVDump3
5. Use the following arguments as the bare minimum
5.1. Windows: AVDump3CL.exe --Auth=<YourUserName>:<YourUdpApiPassword> <APathToTheFiles>
5.2. Linux: dotnet AVDump3CL.dll --Auth=<YourUserName>:<YourUdpApiPassword> <APathToTheFiles>

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
Arguments
For more detailed information please run AVD3 with --Help!
NameSpace: FileDiscovery –Recursive, -R Recursively descent into Subdirectories
–ProcessedLogPath, –PLPath Appends the full filepath to the specified path
–SkipLogPath, –SLPath Filepaths contained in the specified file will not be processed
–DoneLogPath, –DLPath Will set –SkipLogPath and –ProcessedLogPath to the specified filepath
–WithExtensions, –WExts Only/Don’t Process files with selected Extensions
–Concurrent, –Conc Sets the maximal number of files which will be processed concurrently. First param (max) sets a global limit. (path,max) pairs sets limits per path.
NameSpace: Processing –ProducerMinReadLength
–ProducerMaxReadLength
–PrintAvailableSIMDs
–PauseBeforeExit, –PBExit Pause console before exiting
–BufferLength, –BLength Circular buffer size for hashing
–Consumers, –Cons Select consumers to use. Use without arguments to list available consumers
NameSpace: FileMove –Test
–LogPath
–Mode
–Pattern Available Placeholders ${Name}: FullName, FileName, FileExtension, FileNameWithoutExtension, DirectoryName, SuggestedExtension, Hash-<Name>-<2|4|8|10|16|32|32Hex|32Z|36|62|64>-<OC|UC|LC>
–DisableFileMove
–DisableFileRename
–Replacements
NameSpace: Reporting –PrintHashes Print calculated hashes in hexadecimal format to console
–PrintReports Print generated reports to console
–Reports Select reports to use. Use without arguments to list available reports
–ReportDirectory, –RDir Reports will be saved to the specified directory
–ReportFileName Reports will be saved/appended to the specified filename The following placeholders ${Name} can be used: FileName, FileNameWithoutExtension, FileExtension, ReportName, ReportFileExtension
–ExtensionDifferencePath, –EDPath Logs the filepath if the detected extension does not match the actual extension
–CRC32Error Searches the filename for the calculated CRC32 hash. If not present or different a line with the caluclated hash and the full path of the file is appended to the specified path The regex pattern should contain the placeholder ${CRC32} which is replaced by the calculated hash prior matching. Consumer CRC32 will be force enabled!
NameSpace: Diagnostics –SaveErrors Errors occuring during program execution will be saved to disk
–SkipEnvironmentElement Skip the environment element in error files
–IncludePersonalData Various places may include personal data. Currently this only affects error files, which will then include the full filepath
–PrintDiscoveredFiles
–ErrorDirectory If –SaveErrors is specified the error files will be placed in the specified path
–NullStreamTest Use Memory as the DataSource for HashSpeed testing. Overrides any FileDiscovery Settings!
NameSpace: Display –HideBuffers Hides buffer bars
–HideFileProgress Hides file progress
–HideTotalProgress Hides total progress
–ShowDisplayJitter Displays the time taken to calculate progression stats and drawing to console
–ForwardConsoleCursorOnly The cursor position of the console will not be explicitly set. This option will disable most progress output
NameSpace: AniDBAvmf –LocalPort, –LPort Local UDP port used for ACReqing
–ACreqErrorPath
–Authentication, –Auth Enables ACReqing when valid credentials are provided Visit https://anidb.net/user/setting (Account Tab) to set the api key
–HostEndPoint, –Host Change endpoint of AniDB UDP API server AddressFamily: Can be 4=IPv4, 6=IPv6 or U=Unspecified
–Timeout, –TOut Sets the retry count and the timeout before resending the dump
NameSpace: AniDBMisc –UploadErrors Enables the automatic upload of program errors
