Advanced local anime metadata editing for enhanced library organization.

Editing local anime details ​

It is possible to add details to local anime. Like anime from other sources, you add information about the series such as the author, artist, description, and genre tags.

To import details along with your local anime, you have to create a JSON file with the name details.json. It must be placed within the Anime folder. This file will contain the extended details about the series in the JSON format. You can see the example below on how to build the file. Once the file is there, the app should load the data when you first open the anime or you can pull down to refresh the details.

You can copy the following example and edit the details as needed:

json
{
	"title": "Example Title",
	"author": "Example Author",
	"artist": "Example Artist",
	"description": "Example Description",
	"genre": ["genre 1", "genre 2", "etc"],
	"status": "0",
	"_status values": ["0 = Unknown", "1 = Ongoing", "2 = Completed", "3 = Licensed", "4 = Publishing finished", "5 = Cancelled", "6 = On hiatus"]
}
{
	"title": "Example Title",
	"author": "Example Author",
	"artist": "Example Artist",
	"description": "Example Description",
	"genre": ["genre 1", "genre 2", "etc"],
	"status": "0",
	"_status values": ["0 = Unknown", "1 = Ongoing", "2 = Completed", "3 = Licensed", "4 = Publishing finished", "5 = Cancelled", "6 = On hiatus"]
}

TIP

If you don't want to manually create the details.json file, you can alternatively use this tool.

Editing episode details ​

Similarly, the details of each episode can be customized with a JSON file.

To customize the details, create a JSON file with the name episodes.json. It must be placed within the Anime folder. The structure of this JSON file will be a list of JSON objects. Each JSON object must contain a episode_number key and optionally a name, date_upload, or scanlator key.

An example is as follows:

json
[
	{
		"episode_number": 1,
		"name": "Ep 1 - Good vs. Evil",
		"date_upload": "2023-01-26T00:00:00"
	},
	{
		"episode_number": 1.5,
		"name": "Ep 1.5 - Inori",
		"scanlator": "Ending"
	}
]
[
	{
		"episode_number": 1,
		"name": "Ep 1 - Good vs. Evil",
		"date_upload": "2023-01-26T00:00:00"
	},
	{
		"episode_number": 1.5,
		"name": "Ep 1.5 - Inori",
		"scanlator": "Ending"
	}
]

For your information

As Aniyomi will use the episode_number key to match the episodes, the order of the JSON objects in the list does not matter.

Using a custom cover image ​

It is also possible to use a custom image as a cover for each local series.

To do this, you only need to place the image file, that needs to be named cover.jpg, in the root of the anime folder. The app will then use your custom image in the local anime source listing.
