Comment on Shoko Server not recognizing any anime

Shoko compares a files ED2K hash against the AniDB database. The filename doesn’t matter for automatic detection. Have a look at the log to see if there are any issues. It’s entirely possible that AniDB just doesn’t have the hashes for the raw BluRay rip. In that case you can either manually link them in Shoko, connecting the AniDB episode id to the file hash, or create new file entries on AniDB with your specific hashes.

I see, so that still requires a fair bit of manual work then (especially when episodes are not ordered properly when ripped).

With bluray rips, I don’t really see any way to avoid that unfortunately, unless someone else has already added the hashes for your release. Most people use it to scan their encoded releases, which will (in most cases) have already been added to AniDB by the release group. I’m a bit surprised though, that none of your rips are recognized. Have you checked the AniDB pages for your series to see if anyone uploaded hashes for bluray rips?

There seem to be Bluray entries in AniDB, but I can’t tell if it’s the same version. I have UK region Blurays, so maybe that’s it.
But I think I’m gonna leave Shoko be and try something else

Also, if you’re reencoding the files, it’s extremely unlikely for your has to match someone else’s
