Avdump/Autocreqing: Difference between revisions

[[Auto-creqing]] is the preferred way to creq files. Not all metadata for files can be creqed this way, though. See [[How to get started with creqing#Files]] for more information.

This article explains how to set up Avdump for [[auto-creqing]]. If you need further assistance, please visit us at {{irclink|anidb}}.

{{eyecatch|Note|You have to set a '''API key''' in your '''[[profile]]''' before auto-creqing with Avdump.}}

{{eyecatch|Note|If you use a firewall you will have to open a port for Avdump first. You can force Avdump to use a fixed port with the option '''<tt>-port</tt>'''}}

{{eyecatch|Note|It is possible to run more than one instance of Avdump at once, but not more than ten will work OK. At the moment ''only 10 sessions per IP are allowed by the server'', meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first. Also, if you suffer under [[Wikipedia:Network address translation|NAT]], running more than one instance will make it worse.}}
