Aniworld Download Manager

A web-based anime download manager with REST API, WebSocket real-time updates, and a modern web interface.

Features

• Web interface for managing anime library
• REST API for programmatic access
• WebSocket real-time progress updates
• Download queue with priority management
• Automatic library scanning for missing episodes
• NFO metadata management with TMDB integration
• Automatic poster/fanart/logo downloads
• JWT-based authentication
• SQLite database for persistence

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Conda (recommended) or virtualenv

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/aniworld.git
cd aniworld

2. Create and activate conda environment:

conda create -n AniWorld python=3.10
conda activate AniWorld

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Start the server:

python -m uvicorn src.server.fastapi_app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

5. Open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser

First-Time Setup

1. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/setup
2. Set a master password (minimum 8 characters, mixed case, number, special character)
3. Configure your anime directory path
4. (Optional) Configure NFO settings with your TMDB API key
5. Login with your master password

NFO Metadata Setup (Optional)

For automatic NFO file generation with metadata and images:

1. Get a free TMDB API key from https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api
2. Go to Configuration → NFO Settings in the web interface
3. Enter your TMDB API key and click "Test Connection"
4. Enable auto-creation and select which images to download
5. NFO files will be created automatically during downloads

Technology Stack

• Web Framework: FastAPI 0.104.1
• Database: SQLite + SQLAlchemy 2.0
• Auth: JWT (python-jose) + passlib
• Validation: Pydantic 2.5
• Logging: structlog
• Testing: pytest + pytest-asyncio

Application Lifecycle

Initialization

On first startup, the application performs a one-time sync of series from data files to the database:

1. FastAPI lifespan starts
2. Database is initialized
3. sync_series_from_data_files() reads all data files from the anime directory (creates temporary SeriesApp)
4. Series metadata is synced to the database
5. DownloadService initializes (triggers main SeriesApp creation)
6. SeriesApp loads series from database via service layer (not from files)

On subsequent startups, the same flow applies but the sync finds no new series. SeriesApp always initializes with an empty series list (skip_load=True) and loads data from the database on demand, avoiding redundant file system scans.

Adding New Series

When adding a new series:

1. Series is added to the database via AnimeService
2. Data file is created in the anime directory
3. In-memory SerieList is updated via load_series_from_list()
