== | {{eyecatch|Note:|This is actually the only required field if you provide an ed2k-link.}} | ||
===Size=== | |||
This field is for how many bytes the file is. | |||
{{eyecatch|Note:|This field is required unless you provided an ed2k-link in the ED2K field.}} | |||
===Type=== | |||
====Video file==== | |||
A file with at least video, but normally with audio and subtitles too. This is what you want 99% of the time and hence the default. | |||
====Subtitle file==== | |||
A file containing only subs; srt, ssa, sub, idx, ass, smi, txt. Usually having a [[Content:File_relations|relation]] to one or more video files. | |||
====Audio file==== | |||
A file containing only audio. Hardly used at all; you will probably never need this. | |||
====Other==== | |||
An archive file containing one or more of the other types over; for example subtitles (although such files may be registered as ''Subtitle file'' too), sets of files or part of files. Hardly used, but slightly more common than ''Audio file''. | |||
===Extension=== | |||
Set which extension the file has. If you supplied an ed2k-link in the ed2k sum field, this is not necessary. The extension will be taken from the ed2k-link. | |||
===Other checksums=== | |||
AniDB supports storage of CRC32, MD5, SHA1 and TTH checksums as well. It is not recommended to add these manually, though. You should rather [[Avdump/Autocreqing|autocreq]]. | |||
===CRC status=== | |||
Most groups release files with corresponding CRC32 checksums; in the filename, in a sfv file or on their web page. If the calculated CRC32 sum of the physical copy in your possession matches the sum provided by the group then set the status to ''matches the official CRC''. Otherwise, set it to ''does NOT match the official CRC''. It is not possible to use these states if no CRC sum is registered in AniDB. | |||
If no sum is provided by the group or if you can't bother to compare, then set it to ''not compared to the official CRC''. | |||
'''Note:''' If the file is a | '''Note:''' If the file is a ''no group'' file, '''do not set crc correct status!''' Most raw files come from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share share] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winny winny] hence no official crc is known! | ||

== | ===Version=== | ||
Sometimes, the group makes mistakes and wants to correct them by releasing a second (third, fourth...) version, usually called "v2" ("v3", "v4", ...). If there is no such tag in the filename, it's normally "version 1". | Sometimes, the group makes mistakes and wants to correct them by releasing a second (third, fourth...) version, usually called "v2" ("v3", "v4", ...).

Don't worry - you can still list such files properly in your mylist. For example: You have a corrupted version of group X's release. Navigate to the corresponding episode where the regular, uncorrupted version of group X's release is listed and click on the "add file ()" icon. On the next page, you can select the "Type: corrupted version/invalid crc" so that your mylist-entries properly indicate which version you have. | Don't worry - you can still list such files properly in your mylist.
