• Between stable release cycles, test versions are released:
  • Alpha: All major new features will be released to the alpha testing channel first, and "daily builds" can be used in the client Receive updates. These new features are very unstable, suitable for enthusiastic pioneer testers!
  • Beta test version: After the function has been tested and major problems have been fixed, it will enter the beta testing channel. The client is named "Beta". This version is still unstable and is a balance between new features and stability.

FAQ

What are the sources?

All video data comes from the Internet, and Animeko itself does not store any video data. Animeko supports two data source types: BT and online. BT source is the public BitTorrent P2P network. Each in BT Anyone on the Internet can share their own resources for others to download. Online sources are content shared by other video resource websites. Animeko itself does not provide any video resources.

In the spirit of mutual assistance, Animeko will automatically seed (share data) when using a BT source. The BT fingerprint is -aniLT3000-, where 3000 is the version number; the UA is something like ani_libtorrent/3.0.0.

What is the source of the barrage?

Animeko has its own public welfare bullet comment server. The bullet comments sent in the Animeko app will be sent to the bullet comment server. Each bullet comment will be in Bangumi Username binding to prevent abuse (and consider adding reporting and blocking functions in the future).

Animeko will also obtain related barrages from Dandanplay, and Dandanplay will also obtain barrages from other barrage platforms such as Bilibili, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and Bahamut. Each episode of an anime can have anywhere from dozens to thousands of comments.
