This page is for laying out larger (or radical) additions / changes to the UDP API using the same format and style as the API documentation. This makes it easy to compare different solutions and to copy over changes to the documentation when finally implemented. Tracker items should suffice for minor requests and bug reports.

That's odd. How come AOM supports different hash-methods? (I know this may not be asked here) And shouldn't the md5sum be unique, too? I mean uniqueness IS the reason for using hash... Well I guess we can handle everything through ed2k though. [[User:Ainawing|Ainawing]] 15:49, 9 July 2007 (GMT+1)

: Well, the hashes are likely to be unique. However, this is not enforced by AniDB. Whether two distinct files really have the same hash or whether it is just an input error (i.e. wrong c&p) of the submitting user, the result is the same. You're trying to do a lookup for which you expect exactly one result or nothing at all and you end up with multiple results. And yes, most clients do support other hashing methods and also submit such data to anidb. However, internally they are all based on ed2k hashes AFAIK. [[User:Exp|Exp]] 08:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

:: The real question is: Should we enforce uniqueness? It's not really a problem to implement and shouldn't lead to any problems. We have reports on uniqueness and there are atm 2x2 files with equal md5, which obviously is wrong (if you look at them). Constraints would just mean that DerIdiot doesn't have to go around and fix such entries from time to time. On the other hand, supporting md5 lookup for clients is hardly important and it'll only have a negative impact on performance (although probably unnoticeable). --[[User:Epoximator|Epoximator]] 12:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

::: Well, enforcing uniqueness in the db brings a slight performanc overhead with it, but as file additions are a very seldom event, that wouldn't hurt us. We'd have a couple of extra indicies on the file table, which would increase the storage requirements of the db. Though even that wouldn't be all that much. Supporting MD5 hashes on the UDP API might simplyfy the writing of very simple UDP clients, as there are easily available MD5 libraries for every programming language out there. For ed2k/md4 libs you might have to search for a bit. However, I think I wouldn't go as far as to enforce uniqueness for all our hashes (i.e. sha1 and tth). But it might be seriously worth considering enforcing MD5 uniqueness, especially if we might somday drop ed2k hashes. MD5 hashes would offer a nice fallback in such a case.

:::: Agreed. Even better, since hashes are only being used for identification and checksumming, and not authentication, there's no real need for uniqueness other than the 1 in several trillion chance of a collision. The odds get even better with SHA1 or Tiger or RIPEMD. ed2k is not exactly a standard hash, and MD4 is simply not present in some languages, unless you obtain an external library. (For example, I bundle a native Python MD4 with my client, since that library is rare outside of Linux distributions.) [[User:Billessig|Billessig]] 09:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

== Mylist Commands ==
* Retrieve related-episode data with the FILE command, making use of bit 5 (or some other unused bit) of the fcode.  Proposed return is a list of episode IDs separated by commas. File 275580 is a fair example of why this is useful; right now there's no way to show that this is a dual-episode file via the UDP API. --[[User:Radicand|Radicand]] 14:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
=== MYLISTDEL: Delete file from mylist ===
Feature request: It'd would be neat if i could delete files from MYLIST using the file's hash and size like the MYLISTADD command. I'm writing a client that doesn't use lid or fid, only size and ed2k hash for all files. I could use the FILE function to obtain the fid, but that would be an unwanted extra step.

It would probably be ok to add this, but note that it would be a hassle to fetch a complete mylist. I mean, you can already do this with your own list, but it takes a lot of time because of the datagram rate limit. (It would take at least 8h to fetch my own list). And that is usage we don't really want @ udp api. And a command that returns all the data at once will, of course, not be allowed. So, in other words, if you just want to check if a friend has a specific file, or what files per anime (multiple files found), then ok, but ''view and browse a specified user's list just as I can with the web interface'' is not likely to happen/be allowed.--[[User:Epoximator|Epoximator]] 11:29, 4 June 2006 (CEST)

I think most of the UDP API functionality could be exposed as a web service. Not only it would  make client programming simpler but could also solve some NAT/Proxy/Firewall UDP problems.
