[QUOTE="bert_r, post: 408829, member: 90426"] You can enable the 'web service' in the plugin itself (main screen: options -> under miscellaneous 'use Web Service'), or in the configuration dialog (main tab - Network: Submit/retrieve data from plugin web service). I believe it will try to match the filename, and return the anidb data. Regarding the matching of the file: Most of the anime files (or all of them) contain the CRC32 hash. The AniDB API requires ed2k hashes (+the file size). For details see the [URL="http://wiki.anidb.net/w/UDP_API_Definition#FILE:_Retrieve_File_Data"]AniDB API specification[/URL].
