Files are probably the most important part of AniDB's structure. They are what gets added to users mylists in order to mark episodes watched.

Now, there are a few different kinds of files that can be added to the different episodes for anime, but all files have a few fields that apply to them:
==Content==
===Release information===
====Group====
Normally, the files are "tagged", meaning that the filename contains a string like "[AonE]" which you can look for in the according shortname dropdown-menu. Please note that not all groups on AniDB are listed under the tag they actually use, as AniDB can only have one distinctive tag for each group. '''So make sure the group's full name matches as well'''.


<div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
When you add a new file from a group that already have some files added for this anime, you can save yourself from going through the extra step of searching for the group again and again by using the '''by relation''' list, that contains only groups that already have at least one file added for this anime.<br>
[[Content:Files#ED2K_Sum|ED2K Sum]] | [[Content:Files#Various_other_hashes|Various other hashes]] | [[Content:Files#CRC_status|CRC status]] | [[Content:Files#Size|Size]] | [[Content:Files#Type|Type]] | [[Content:Files#Extension|Extension]] | [[Content:Files#Version|Version]] | [[Content:Files#Release_date|Release date]] | [[Content:Files#Released_by|Released by]] | [[Content:Files#Comments|Comments]]
Otherwise, you have to search for the group.
</div>


All files, except generics, can also have '''relations''' to other files and/or episodes:
If the group isn't listed, you have to [[Content:Groups|add it first]].


<div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
'''Note:''' If a file is a joint release, like a file by e.g. ANBU-AonE, that joint group has its own group entry, so you should not add the file to either ANBU or AonE, but to the group that combines them both.

</div>


And we also have specific fields that only apply to video files, audio files and subtitle files:
'''Note:''' If the file is a RAW, you should check [[which RAW groups to credit]].

'''Note:''' for alot of these fields you can use [[avdump]] to analyze the video file. It can tell you most of the things you need to know.


And the last two sections in this article are about if something is/has gone wrong:
====Release date====
<div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
The date the group published the file. Have a look at the group's homepage or other release info pages like [http://www.envirosphere.com/ Envirosphere] or [http://baka-updates.com/ Baka Updates].
[[Content:Files#Your_version_is_corrupted...|Your version is corrupted...]] | [[Content:Files#Removing_bad_entries|Removing bad entries]]
</div>


==Input fields==
====CRC status====
Also see [[How to get started with creqing]].
 
===Add/edit views===
:{{Missing}}
===ED2K Sum / Link===
In this field you need to enter either a complete [[ed2k|ed2k-link]], or just an ed2k sum.
 
You can use various tools to get this, the ones we recommend are:
:*[[AniDB O'Matic]] (Windows/Linux (through Wine [[AniDB O'Matic#How_to_make_AOM_work_in_Linux|read here]]))
:*[[WebAOM]] (Windows/Linux/OS X/Anything that runs [http://java.sun.com Java])
:*[[Avdump]] (Windows)
::These can also get you the other hash-sums that ought to be filled out.
 
{{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.

===Version===
====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".

If the group isn't listed, you have to [[Content:Groups|add it first]].
==Adding new files==
===What is accepted?===
====Private files====
====Corruption====
[[Animeentries:Fileentries|Fileentries]] on AniDB are supposed to be useful for a larger group of users: One of them adds the entry and many others can use it (by adding it to their list).


'''Note:''' If a file is a joint release, like a file by e.g. ANBU-AonE, that joint group has its own group entry, so you should not add the file to either ANBU or AonE, but to the group that combines them both.
'''Adding wide-spread corrupted files'''


'''Note:''' If the file is a RAW, you should check [[which RAW groups to credit]].
===Comments===
File comments should only be made for important info, and always conforming to the [[Content:Filecomments|standardized forms for file comments]] if applicable. Do not enter your personal opinions of the release or some other nonsense. Use the [[Votes:Animegroups|anime-group-comments]] for that.
==Acceptable files==
===Your version is corrupted===

====Adding wide-spread corrupted files====
An entry for a corrupted file may still be useful for others as long as it's likely that more people have the exact same corrupted file as you have. (For example if one source sent the corrupted version to many people.)

If - and only if - this is the case, you can add the file normally to AniDB, marking it as "CRC invalid" and/or "Quality: Corrupted" if there are visible/audible errors in the file.

==Removing bad entries==
==Editing files==
==Removing files==
If you added a bad entry you can also remove it as long as no one else has added it to his/her [[mylist]]. Otherwise, you have to issue a delete request.
